Sažetak
Cilj. Studija prikazuje rezultate istraživanja usmjerenog na procjenu utjecaja terapije egzoskeletom na osnovne prostorno-vremenske i kinetičke parametre hoda kod pacijenata s cerebralnom paralizom (CP).

Materijali i metode. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 17 pacijenata s CP-om (II GMFCS). Program treninga trajao je 8 tjedana s dvotjednom pauzom u sredini cijelog ciklusa (3 tjedna – 2 tjedna pauze – 3 tjedna). Svaka sesija trajala je 90 minuta. Pacijenti su trenirali noseći egzoskelet (Ekso GT) pod nadzorom kvalificiranog fizioterapeuta. Analiza hoda provedena je na Zebris FDM-TDL traci za trčanje pri preferiranoj i maksimalno toleriranoj brzini, prije i nakon završetka cijelog programa treninga.

Rezultati. Pri maksimalno toleriranoj brzini hoda, sudionici su poboljšali brzinu kretanja, frekvenciju koraka, duljinu koraka, duljinu ciklusa hoda i trajanje ciklusa hoda. Vrijeme kontakta u prednjem, srednjem i petnom dijelu stopala značajno se promijenilo. Vrijeme trajanja faze oslonca na lijevoj i desnoj nozi značajno se smanjilo. Navedeni parametri pri preferiranoj brzini nisu se statistički značajno promijenili.

Zaključci. Pozitivne promjene zabilježene su u zahtjevnijim uvjetima u odnosu na preferirani hod. Potrebna su daljnja istraživanja kako bi se optimizirao rehabilitacijski program kroz različite konfiguracije intenziteta, obujma i trajanja cijelog rehabilitacijskog ciklusa.

Abstract
Background. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness and influence on gait parameters of a 4 – week automated training by a driven gait orthosis. Material and methods. Treadmill training with a driven gait orthosis was used for a 7 year with hemiplegia. Her disability represented 1 level in the GMFCS scale. The child received 18 sessions over 4-week period (5sessions/week, mean therapy duration was 45 minutes per session). Pre and post-training evaluations were performed on kinematics gait parameters using motion capture system (BTS-Smart). Results. After therapy were observed return or approximate value of the evaluated parameters to a normative level of control group. Conclusions. Even small changes in temporal and distance parameters of gait could improve comfort and quality of the patient’s gait. After therapy, there was noted improvement in most of the gait parameters pointing to positive impact of this form of therapy in patient with impaired gait described.

Abstract
Pain experienced in the plantar part of the heel is the most common cause of its dysfunction in adults. In many cases the underlying reason is a calcaneal spur. This study aimed to assess and compare focused and radial shockwave therapies in terms of their efficacy in treating a symptomatic calcaneal spur. Twenty patients with a symptomatic calcaneal spur were enrolled in the experiment. The pa­tients were divided into 2 comparative groups A and B (each consisting of 10 patients) that received focused shockwave and radial shockwave therapies, respectively. Each patient was given 5 treatments at weekly intervals. Immediately after treatment ended a statistically significant reduction in all types of pain considered in the experiment was noted in both comparative groups. A further reduction in pain was observed after another three weeks. The comparative groups were similar in terms of relative changes in all types of pain. Additionally, focused shockwave therapy was found to have significantly affected patients’ stabilographic parameters. Both focused shockwave therapy and radial shockwave therapy are physical modalities that can be safely and effectively used to treat a symptomatic calcaneal spur. Their main advantage is good analgesic effect directly after treatment. This effect is even more distinct after another 3 weeks.
