Abstract:
Introduction. Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal problem. This individual and socio-economic health problem is associated with a reduction in daily activities, a reduction in labour productivity and an impact on quality of life levels.
Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy of non-specific pain originating from the cervical region in terms of the applied physiotherapy methods.
Methods. 40 research articles published in 2018-2023 in journals with registration in databases Web of Science, Science Direct and Scopus were included in the research.
Results. The most frequent target studied was the education of patients on ergonomics, correct posture and home exercises. The preparation phase of therapy included the administration of thermotherapy and electrotherapy – ultrasound or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), classical massage, administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The techniques often used were manipulation and/or mobilization, trigger and tender points therapy – acupressure, acupuncture, dry needle application. Among the therapeutic methods, the most frequently chosen are exercises in the form of pilates, yoga, Alexander technique, sensomotor training, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, Jakobson progressive muscle relaxation. Reduction of painful mobility was addressed by the application of local immobilization and kineziotaping.
Conclusion. According to the results of our analysis, the combination of several physiotherapy techniques and methods appears to be significantly effective for reducing pain and improving quality of life.

Hind Humid Alshuweihi, Alham Al-Sharman, Walid Kamal Abdelbasset – A narrative review on the role of physiotherapy in musculoskeletal disorders –  Fizjoterapia Polska 2024; 24(3); 367-372

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG020AK7N

Abstract:
Musculoskeletal disorders encompass a broad range of conditions affecting the bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons throughout the body. These disorders can result from various causes, including injury, overuse, aging, genetic predisposition, and systemic diseases such as arthritis. Management of musculoskeletal disorders typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including medical interventions, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, pain management, and lifestyle modifications. Treatment aims to relieve symptoms, improve function, prevent further damage, and enhance overall well-being. This review explores the role of physiotherapy in the management of musculoskeletal disorders, offering interventions such as exercise therapy, manual therapy, modalities, and patient education. Physiotherapists tailor treatment plans to address individual needs, promote recovery, and optimize long-term outcomes. Prevention strategies, including maintaining a healthy lifestyle, proper ergonomics, regular exercise, and injury prevention programs, are essential for reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Several studies showed the efficacy of physiotherapy for musculoskeletal disorders and the wealth of evidence from studies supports the integration of physiotherapy alongside physician-led care as an effective approach for treating musculoskeletal disorders, resulting in improved outcomes, reduced healthcare utilization, enhanced patient satisfaction, and long-term benefits for patients.
Overall, early diagnosis, comprehensive treatment, and ongoing management are key to effectively managing musculoskeletal disorders and improving the quality of life for individuals affected by these conditions.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG5608E5F

Abstract
Background. Tibial eminence fracture is an injury referred to the interarticular portion of the neighbouring plateau of the tibia. Non-operative treatment is recommended for type I and II. The study aimed to investigate the effect of virtual reality (VR) training combined with a physical therapy program (PTP) in the management of children after tibial eminence fractures. Methods. Forty eight children suffering from tibial eminence fracture (type I and type II). Their age ranged from 7 to 14 years old. The control group (G1) received only a physiotherapy program (PTP) and the experimental group (G2) received the same PTP plus virtual reality (VR) in form of Wii Sport Training. Both groups received the treatment protocol for six successive months (3 sessions per week). Participants were assessed before and after the treatment for six successive months. The outcomes were range of motion (ROM) of knee joint using goniometry, knee pain using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and balance by Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS). Results. Post-treatment, there was a a statistically substantial difference in pain, PBS, knee flexion and extension ROM in both groups (P-value < 0.05). Also, there was a statistically substantial difference in PBS and knee flexion ROM between the two groups (P-value < 0.05), favouring the VR group. Conclusions. These findings from this study reveal the value of physical therapy combined with VR in the rehabilitation of children with tibial eminence fractures. Virtual reality used in conjunction with PTP enhances those children’s knee range of motion and body stability.

Maram Maki, Shima A. Mohammad Zadeh, Tamer M. Shousha – Exploring physiotherapy interventions for chronic back pain: the role of shockwave therapy – Fizjoterapia Polska 2024; 24(2); 178-182

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG5608NP7

Abstract
Chronic nonspecific low back pain (LBP) poses a significant global health challenge, necessitating multifaceted interventions for effective management. Physiotherapy, with its integrated approach, plays a pivotal role in addressing the complexity of chronic LBP, employing diverse modalities such as exercise and movement therapy, manual therapies, and education combined with lifestyle modifications. Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) has emerged as a promising, patient-centered intervention, emphasizing the importance of a personalized approach. However, challenges persist in delivering efficient, individualized treatments, leading to potential excess or inadequacy of interventions. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) has garnered attention as an emerging therapeutic intervention for chronic back pain, employing high-energy shockwaves to stimulate healing processes and alleviate pain. While ESWT shows promise in treating musculoskeletal conditions and inducing favorable effects in various studies, its specific application for chronic low back pain lacks comprehensive randomized clinical trials, especially concerning radial ESWT. The current body of evidence, often falling short of the highest standards of Evidence-Based Physiotherapy, poses challenges in objectively assessing the clinical effectiveness of widely practiced ESWT procedures for chronic low back pain. In conclusion, while physiotherapy remains integral for managing chronic nonspecific low back pain, including diverse interventions, the specific role and effectiveness of shockwave therapy, particularly in the context of chronic back pain, necessitate further robust research and clinical investigations. This review highlights the need for comprehensive studies to ascertain the clinical efficacy and optimal application of shockwave therapy within physiotherapy protocols for long-term pain management.
