Streszczenie
Wprowadzenie. Pierwotne bolesne miesiączkowanie (PD) jest jedną z głównych przyczyn bólu menstruacyjnego u kobiet w wieku rozrodczym. Choć tradycyjnie wiązane jest z kurczami macicy wywołanymi przez prostaglandyny, coraz więcej badań wskazuje na znaczenie czynników nerwowo-mięśniowych, szczególnie dysfunkcji sensomotorycznej odcinka lędźwiowego.
Cel. Niniejszy przegląd narracyjny syntetyzuje aktualne dowody dotyczące kontroli sensomotorycznej odcinka lędźwiowego w PD, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem dokładności odtwarzania pozycji, związanych deficytów neuromięśniowych oraz potencjału treningu propriocepcji jako interwencji niefarmakologicznej.
Metody. Przeglądu literatury dokonano do czerwca 2025 roku w ośmiu bazach danych, wykorzystując hasła MeSH obejmujące „primary dysmenorrhea,” „lumbar proprioception,” „repositioning accuracy” i „sensorimotor control.” Do analizy kwalifikowano badania oceniające propriocepcję tułowia lub interwencje ukierunkowane na funkcję sensomotoryczną odcinka lędźwiowego w PD lub innych stanach bólowych.
Wyniki. Do analizy włączono sześć badań: dwa RCT (jedno w toku), jedno pilotażowe studium przypadku, jedno badanie obserwacyjne w PD, jedno przekrojowe dotyczące bólu krzyża oraz jeden przegląd systematyczny. We wszystkich badaniach konsekwentnie wykazano zaburzenia kontroli propriocepcyjnej w populacjach z dolegliwościami bólowymi. Ćwiczenia bazujące na pracy mięśni głębokich wydają się poprawiać dokładność propriocepcji i zmniejszać ból, jednak bezpośrednie dowody dotyczące odtwarzania pozycji lędźwiowej w PD są ograniczone i metodologicznie niespójne.
Wnioski. Wstępne dowody wskazują, że trening propriocepcji odcinka lędźwiowego może stanowić nowatorskie uzupełnienie terapii PD. Do potwierdzenia tych obserwacji i wdrożenia ich do praktyki klinicznej potrzebne są wysokiej jakości badania RCT z zastosowaniem obiektywnych wskaźników neuromięśniowych.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG5608G1D

Abstract

Pozadina: Utjecaj čimbenika rizika ponašanja, posebice posturalnih navika i prisutnosti posturalnih promjena, identificiran je kao značajna zabrinutost za adolescentice, osobito u javnim školama.

Svrha: Ova studija ima za cilj provesti usporednu analizu posturalnih promjena, posturalnih ponašanja, bolova u leđima i ponašajnih navika među adolescenticama u javnim i međunarodnim školama.

Metode: Provedena je studija slučaja i kontrole koja je uključivala 200 adolescentica u dobi od 13 do 17 godina. Sudionici su podijeljeni u dvije skupine: skupinu (A) iz javnih škola i skupinu (B) iz međunarodnih škola. Proces evaluacije uključivao je kombinaciju video i slikovne analize pomoću Kinovea i instrumenta za procjenu boli u leđima i tjelesnog držanja.

Rezultati: Statistička analiza nije otkrila značajnu razliku između skupina (A i B) u pogledu prednje glave (cranio-vertebral angle by Kinova). Međutim, primijećena je značajna razlika između skupina u pogledu bolova u leđima, ponašajnih navika, nasljednih čimbenika i socioekonomskog statusa.

Zaključak: Iako su obje skupine pokazale prevalenciju prednje glave među adolescenticama, skupina (A) iz javnih škola pokazala je višu učestalost bolova u leđima, povezanu s ponašajnim navikama, socioekonomskim čimbenicima i nasljednim utjecajima na bol u leđima. Posturalne promjene i bolovi u leđima u javnim školama pripisani su čimbenicima kao što su opterećenje, trajanje gledanja televizije, nedostatak vježbanja, trajanje nošenja ruksaka, nasljedni čimbenici i socioekonomski status (obrazovna razina roditelja do srednje škole).

Eman E. Kamel, Hamada A. Hamada, Amel M. Yousef, Fahima M. Okeel, Mohamed Hassan, Hatem M. Hassan – Influence of visceral manipulation on hormonal profile in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome: A randomized trial –  Fizjoterapia Polska 2024; 24(1); 279-284

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG2EF8860

Sažetak
Pozadina. Sindrom policističnih jajnika (PCOS) najčešći je endokrini poremećaj kod žena reproduktivne dobi i sugeriran je kao faktor rizika za kardimetaboličke bolesti. Ovisno o primijenjenim dijagnostičkim kriterijima, približno 10–15% žena reproduktivne dobi pogođeno je PCOS-om. Cilj. Ispitati kako manipulacija visceralnim organima utječe na hormonski profil kod žena s PCOS-om. Dizajn. Prospektivno randomizirano jednostruko slijepo kontrolirano ispitivanje. Okruženje. Ambulante Opće bolnice Sadat. Metode. Trideset pacijentica s PCOS-om regrutirano je i randomizirano u dvije jednake skupine: kontrolna skupina primila je terapiju smjernicama prehrane u obliku hipokalorične mediteranske dijete tijekom 12 tjedana, dok je istraživačka skupina primila iste intervencije kontrolne skupine uz dodatak manipulacije visceralnim organima (VM). Primarni ishodi bili su biokemijska analiza (FSH i LH) i BMI. Sve varijable mjerene su na početku i nakon 12 tjedana intervencije. Rezultati. Statistička analiza provedena je korištenjem sparivanog testa koji je pokazao značajno poboljšanje u obje skupine. Stoga, korištenjem mješovitog dizajna MANOVA i višestrukih parnih usporednih testova (post hoc testovi) za BMI i omjer LH/FSH nakon tretmana otkriveno je da su značajna smanjenja omjera LH/FSH (p = 0.007) u korist skupine B u usporedbi sa skupinom A, bez značajnih razlika u BMI između obiju skupina (p = 0.443), pokazujući da je VM skupina (B) učinkovitija od skupine (A) u biokemijskoj analizi (p < 0.05). Zaključak. Korištenje manipulacije visceralnim organima uz standardni program hipokalorične mediteranske dijete ima korisnije učinke na hormonski profil kod žena s PCOS-om.

Abstract
Laser acupuncture has produced promising results in the management of many medical conditions; it has been used as a non-invasive therapy with no puncture pain which represents a major advantage over traditional acupuncture or electroacupuncture. The research question of this study is: Does the Aluminum Gallium Arsenide (AlGaAs) LASER acupuncture affect the lower limb blood supply and functional walking ability in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD)?. Thirty male patients’ diagnosis with PAD were recruited from Kasr El-ainy Hospital, and were randomly divided into two equal groups: study group and control group. Both groups received the routine medical treatment whereas study group received laser acupuncture therapy twice weekly for five weeks. Ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI), six-minute walk test (6MWT), and rating of perceived exertion using modified Borg scale were measured. The 2×2 mixed design MANOVA showed that laser acupuncture has induced highly statistically significant improvements in all the measured outcomes (p < 0.05). However, results revealed no significant difference between the two groups except for modified Borg scale. It was concluded that, AlGaAs Laser acupuncture could be an effective non-pharmacological intervention for improving circulation and functional walking performance in PAD patients and may be recommended as a complementary therapy in the management protocols of PAD.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG140EA9

Abstract
Background. Interstitial cystitis is a range of urological manifestations that are characterized by bladder, pelvic and urethral pain, just as irritative voiding side effects. It is characterized by the International Continence Society as the protest of suprapubic pain, identified with bladder filling combined by different manifestations, for example, expanded day time and evening time recurrence, without demonstrated urinary contamination or different evident pathology of the lower urinary tract. Objective. To investigate the effect of interferential electrical stimulation on pain perception and disability level on interstitial cystitis. Participants and methods. A total of 40 volunteering women diagnosed with interstitial cystitis. Their ages were ranged between 25 to 40 years old and their body mass index was > 30 kg/m2. Participants were randomly assigned to two equally numbered groups; group (A) receiving interferential current at the lower abdomen, in addition to a routine medical intervention, or group (B) receiving solely routine medical intervention for 8 successive weeks. Participants were assessed for pain using visual analog scale (VAS), related disability index using levels using O’Leary–Sant Symptom Index or Interstitial Cystitis Index (ICSI), and blood cortisol concentration. Measurements were taken before and after eight weeks of intervention. Results. The analysis of the results revealed a significant reduction in VAS score (P < 0.0001), ICSI scores (P < 0.0001), and the plasma cortisol concentration (P < 0.0001) in the participants of group (A) at the end of the treatment, compared to group (B). Conclusion. These results concluded that adding IC therapy to routine medical intervention had an excellent effect on the management of interstitial cystitis associated signs and symptoms particularly pain, plasma cortisol levels, related disabilities.

Hamada A. Hamada, Hossam E. Fawaz, Ghada Koura, Noran A. Elbehary, Salam M. Elhafez – Mechanical Response of Hip and Knee Muscles Following Randomized Crossover Trials in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. Fizjoterapia Polska 2020; 20(1); 160-168

Abstract
Background. Faulty hip kinematics during weight bearing activities is proposed to contribute to patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). However, limited information exists to determine the effectiveness of exercises programs that not only act on the knee joint, but also on the hip joint in patients with PFPS. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to compare between the effect of the starting with hip strengthening exercises before knee exercises program and the starting with knee exercises program before hip strengthening exercises on pain intensity, Kujala questionnaire scale, quadriceps angle (Q-angle), anteversion angle, and eccentric peak torques (PT) for hip abductors, external rotators, and knee extensors in patients with PFPS. Materials and Methods. Twenty-four patients suffering from PFPS were randomly assigned into two equal groups of twelve. Group (A): their mean age, weight, height and BMI values were 23.33 ± 5.39 years, 71.16 ± 13.05 kg, 164.75 ± 4.5 cm, and 26.21 ± 4.71 kg/m² respectively. They received hip abductors and external rotators strengthening exercises for three weeks followed by knee extensors strengthening exercises and stretching exercises for hamstring quadriceps, iliotibial band and gastrocnemus for another three weeks. Group (B): their mean age, weight, height and BMI values were 23.16 ± 6.33 years, 69.41 ± 18.14 kg, 164.66 ± 7.27 cm, and 25.2 ± 6.2 kg/m² respectively. They received knee extensors strengthening exercises and stretching exercises for hamstring, quadriceps, iliotibial band and gastrocnemus for three weeks followed by hip abductors and external rotators strengthening exercises for another three weeks. Both groups received three to four sessions per week for six weeks. Pain level, Kujala scale, Q-angle, anteversion angle, and isokinetic eccentric PT for hip abductors, external rotators, and knee extensors were recorded before, after three weeks, and after six weeks of exercises. Results. 2×3 Mixed Design MANOVA revealed that there was a significant reduction in level of perceived pain and improvement of Kujala scale in group (A) compared with group (B) after six weeks of exercise (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the Q-angle, anteversion angle, and isokinetic eccentric PT for hip abductors, external rotators, and knee extensors between the tested groups after six weeks of exercise (p > 0.05). Conclusion. Starting rehabilitation program with hip strengthening exercises before knee exercises program is more effective than starting with knee exercises program before hip strengthening exercises in reducing pain and improving knee function in patients with PFPS. Consequently, this may help physiotherapists in designing the most effective and efficient prevention and rehabilitation programs for patients suffering from PFPS.

Nehal G. Omran, Amel M. Yousef, Hamada A. Hamada, Ayman Gouda Matar, Doaa A. Osman – Effect of Forward Head Posture on Temporomandibular Joint Proprioception in Post-Pubertal Females: An Observational Study. Fizjoterapia Polska 2019; 19(2); 142-146

Abstract
Aim: to explore the effect of forward head posture (FHP) on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) proprioception in post-pubertal females.
Material and Method. Forty post-pubertal females participated in this study. They were classified in accordance with the craniovertebral angle (CVA) into two groups. The Forward head posture (FHP) group had CVA of less than 48° (n = 21), while the control group had CVA of more than 48° (n = 19). TMJ repositioning accuracy had been measured by vernier caliper for females in both groups.
Results. Statistical analysis revealed that there were no significant (p > 0.05) differences between both groups regarding TMJ repositioning errors in all directions (mouth opening, protrusion and lateral movements) with eyes open or closed.
Conclusion and Discussion. In post-pubertal females, FHP has no negative effect on TMJ proprioception in all directions whether the eyes are open or closed.
