Abstract Kabaddi is a sport prone to injury due to the intense physical contact involved in the game. Injuries are significant concerns for kabaddi players, and understanding both the factors that cause injuries and preventive measures is essential for minimizing future injuries. The purpose of this study is to analyze and identify factors contributing to injuries and ways to prevent them for kabaddi players. Data collection for this systematic review employed several comprehensive strategies, following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework. The sources used were Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Researchers searched for and identified four journals, published between 2017 and 2024, that discuss injury risk factors and prevention for kabaddi players. The systematic review identified several risk factors for injury in kabaddi players, including improper technique, inadequate warm-up, insufficient equipment, and contact-related accidents. Preventive measures include proper warm-up, mouth protection, and strength training for the thigh and calf muscles. Strategies to minimize the occurrence of injuries include adjusting training frequency, using protective equipment, and implementing biomechanical techniques.

Abstract
To shed light on the types, frequencies, and contributing causes of injuries in the field of physical education, this study explores the complex dynamics of injuries in this setting. The research offered significant insights that support improving safety procedures and maximizing the learning environment in physical education settings by carefully examining the body of existing literature. This research aimed to conduct a systematic literature review on injuries in the context of physical education. The study employed a systematic literature review method following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. A total of 15 articles published between 2019 and 2023 was included in the literature review, sourced from PubMed, ERIC, and EBSCO. The data collection involved literature search using Boolean operators with keywords “injuries in physical education” and “injury prevention,” as well as the establishment of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data were analyzed using a qualitative approach. The research encompassed various topics such as joint injuries, fall-related injuries, compliance with physical activity guidelines, fatigue, injury prevalence, and injury prevention behaviors. The research method in the included studies encompassed surveys, randomized control trials (RCTs), experiments, cohort studies, quasi-experiments, observational studies, and ex post facto studies. In conclusion, injuries in the context of physical education were serious issued that could impact the health and well-being of students. It is crucial to understand the types and causes of injuries to plan the prevention measures among students. Physical education teachers need training in injury prevention, especially during instructional activities, and students should be educated about safe behaviors.

Przemysław Lisiński, Agnieszka Gronek, Włodzimierz Samborski, Lechosław B. Dworak – Proposal for a rehabilitation regimen for patients after posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. A model of biomechanical study ofthe rehabilitation process. Fizjoterapia Polska 2010; 10(1); 1-11

Abstract
Background. Few rehabilitation problems raise so much controversy as the timing of rehabilitation and the choice of rehabilitation techniąues in patients following posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. PCL damage occurs in almost 37% of injuries to the knee joint. PCL plays a significant role in stabilising the knee joint. As the signs and symptoms of PCL damage are not so clear-cut as in injuries of other ligaments, a correct diagnosis and institution of treatment are often delayed. A key problem in rehabilitation of these patients is the need to protect the graft. Accordingly all rehabilitation procedures should be carefully supervised. Since there are few available publications concerned with the rehabilitation of patients following PCL surgery, the authors decided to present their own model of rehabilitation. The key elements of this scheme, such as the timing and choice of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are compared to other methodologies presented in the literaturę.Fuli recovery reąuires a long period of rehabilitation that is dwided into several stages. Ultimately the fuli rangę ofmovement and appropriate muscle strength are restored, and the patient regains fuli motor control thanks to the restoration of proprioception. The authors propose a model of biomechanical investigations enabling objective evaluation ofthe rehabilitation process following PCL reconstruction surgery.

M. Konik, I. Kotela, J. Lorkowski, T. Chruściak, E. Sołtan, M. Chruściak, S. Zduński – A Comparative analysis of early results of surgical treatment of Achilles tendon injuries with the minimally invasive and classic methods – physiotherapy options. A Randomized Controlled Trial. Fizjoterapia Polska 2020; 20(5); 182-191

Abstract
Background. The Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the human body. Despite the high incidence of injuries and a well-known problem of treating heel tendon injuries, there has been no consensus on the proper treatment, (both surgical and rehabilitation) in professional literature so far. Choosing an operating method that gives “better” treatment results can facilitate the choice of a more effective treatment. It should also be remembered that a properly conducted rehabilitation process is an extremely important element following the surgery.
Aim of the study. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the surgical treatment of patients with Achilles tendon injuries using the minimally invasive and classic methods.
Material and Methods. The study material included 62 patients treated surgically for Achilles tendon injury in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of CSK MSW in Warsaw in the years 2011-2016. 31 patients were operated using the minimally invasive method (the study group) and 31 patients using the conventional method (the control group). The research group consisted of 27 men and 4 women. The comparative group consisted of 27 males and 4 females. The following research tools were used to evaluate the treatment results: 1. Author’s questionnaire 2. AOFAS score (American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Score) 3. Measuring instrument for maximum force moments in ankle joint JBA “Staniek” 4. HUR stabilographic platform 5. Ultrasonography.
Results. 4 patients, (12.9%) in the control group re-ruptured the tendon after operative treatment. In the study group, 2 patients (6.5%) experienced a complete heel tendon rupture in the postoperative period. The problem of postoperative wound healing disorders was observed among 2 patients (6.5%) from the study group. In the group treated with the classical technique, 5 (16.1%) patients experienced a delay in the healing of the surgical wound due to bacterial infection. Paresthesia, from the sural nerve was observed in only 1 patient in the MIS (Minimal Invasive Surgery) group. 27 patients (87.1%) returned to their sports activity after percutaneous surgery, and 22 patients (71%) after conventional treatment. On average, patients from both groups needed 6 months to return to sports activities.
Conclusions. 1. The number of renewed ruptures after minimally invasive treatment of a damaged Achilles tendon is low and comparable to that of a group of patients treated with the classic technique. 2. Postoperative wound healing disorders are rare in both groups. 3. Calf nerve injury was reported only in one case, while using a minimally invasive procedure. 4. Patients return to work and sports at the same time after surgery in both groups which is influenced by properly implemented physiotherapy 5. Patients presented a similar balance control on the stabilographic platform in both groups. 6. Similar values of maximum force moments in ankle joint were recorded in both groups. 7. In the ultrasound image, there were no morphological differences in Achilles tendon formation in either study group.

M. Woszczak, K. Syrewicz, M. Kotkowski, M. Kiljański – Mobilisation of proximal radioulnar joint and functioning of the arm after forearm fracture. FP 2015; 15(1); 58-73

Abstract

Research objective. The research aims to evaluate the effect of mobilisation of proximal radioulnar articulation on the hand function after a forearm fracture.
Material and methods. The research involved 60 patients over the age of 50 who were subject to treatment for limitation of hand function resulting from a forearm fracture. The respondents were randomly divided into equal research and control groups and subjected to a series of ten physiotherapy treatments, including low-frequency electromagnetic field therapy, blue filter Sollux lamp and physiotherapy in the form of free active exercises of the elbow, wrist and fingers. The research group also underwent the mobilisation of proximal radioulnar articulation using the Kaltenborn-Evjenth method.
Results. The analysis of the data obtained showed that mobilisation of proximal radioulnar articulation improved the clinical and functional condition of patients after a forearm fracture.
Conclusions. The respondents who went through a rehabilitation program which included mobilisation of proximal radioulnar articulation, assessed their pain level as being lower. They also achieved a wider range of dorsiflexion, palmar flexion, ulnar and radial deviation as well as supination and pronation motion in the radioulnar joint. Additionally, therapy that included the mobilisation resulted in improved strength of cylindrical grip.

P. Szkutnik, M. Domżalski: Characteristic of the anterolateral ligament of the knee and its correlation with trauma of the anterior cruciate ligament in athletes. FP 2015;15(4);74-81

Abstract

Traumas of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are the most common injuries of a knee joint in athletes. We diagnose them by specific clinical tests – Lachman test, anterior drawer test, pivot-shift test and additional imaging studies. Form of the treatment is to reconstruct the ligament with a graft taken muscle. After treatment, there is still a problem with the rotational instability. Only 60% of the athletes returned to pre-injury form. This is due to anterolateral ligament (ALL) of knee. It is a ligament that occurs in approximately 95% of the population. It’s located on the anterolateral side of the knee joint which connects the femur with the tibia bone, it is responsible for rotational stability of the knee, especially when bent knee (30-90 deg) and it`s supports the function of the ACL. ALL trauma that may be asymptomatic, they can imply subsequently breaking of the ACL. However, when ACL is ruptured, almost always the ALL is damaged too. Ruptures and damages of ALL have a connection with Segond fractures. Undetected damage of ALL causes treatment failure of the anterior cruciate ligament injuries. It should be taken into consideration that with concomitant ACL and ALL injuries conservative treatment of damaged ALL is enough for treatment and rehabilitation success or if reconstruction of the ALL also necessary. The aim of the study is to highlight the widespread problem of knee injuries in athletes and how they should be treated so it will lead to full recovery of the competitor and his/her faster return to the game.
