Sažetak
Uvod. Neki od faktora u formiranju poremećaja temporomandibularnog zgloba su promjene u središnjem i perifernom živčanom sustavu. U kontekstu stvaranja veza između dva zgloba, važni su fascija i koncept biotenzegracije. Napetost stvorena u tkivu linearno je raspoređena duž cijelog tijela. Stvaranje prekomjerne napetosti unutar jedne strukture može dovesti do stvaranja identične napetosti u udaljenoj strukturi.
Cilj studije. Hipoteza istraživanja bila je da bi ručni tretmani mekog tkiva temporomandibularnog zgloba, s trajanjem od 7 minuta po strani, mogli utjecati na povećanu pokretljivost kuka za pokret abdukcije.
Rezultati. Dobivena vrijednost za desni i lijevi zglob kuka pokazuje snažnu i pozitivnu korelaciju. To dokazuje da je izvedena terapija imala učinak na povećanje raspona pokreta.
Zaključci. Miofascijalno otpuštanje tkiva temporomandibularnog zgloba imalo je pozitivan učinak na povećanje raspona pokreta za abdukciju kuka.

Anna Krawczyńska, Piotr Majcher, Marek Fatyga, Andrzej Skwarcz – Kinesitherapy in the treatment of juvenile thoracic kyphosis (Scheuermann’s Disease). Fizjoterapia Polska 2001; 1(3); 303-305

Abstract

The course of juvenile thoracic kyphosis, known as Scheuermann’s Diseases, brings about static and dynamic changes within the spine, the shoulder girdle, and the pelvic girdle, negatively affecting the patient’s posture. Changes in the spine due to growth deformities in the vertebral bodies lead to musculo-capsular spasms and adynamia in overextended muscles and ligaments.The basic aim of kinesitherapeutic procedures in the treatment of juvenile thoracic kyphosis is to restore normal muscular equilibrium by stretching the contracted muscles and strengthening the weakened ones. There are also exercises intended to improve the range of joint movement and to teach the patient to assume and maintain proper body posture. In cases of radiologically confirmed growth disorders affecting the vertebral bodies, treatment by extending corrective braces is required. In such cases kinesitherapy and physicotherapy are intended to prepare the patient to obtain good correction in the orthopedic brace and reduce the so-called “plaster losses”. The authors point out the value of kinesitherapy in the process of treating patients with juvenile thoracic kyphosis. A program of exercises intended to reconstruct a normal is also discussed.

Piotr Wróbel, Rafał Trąbka – The application of a low-frequency impulse magnetic field in patients recovering from arthroscopic ablation of the medial meniscus. Fizjoterapia Polska 2003; 3(1); 31-37

Abstract
Background. The goal of the present study was to test the influence of a low-frequency impulse magnetic field on recovery from surgery by patients who have undergone surgical ablation of the medial meniscus. Material and methods. Our research involved 20 persons undergoing rehabilitation in a private physiotherapeutic practice. The clinical material was randomly divided into two numerically equal groups. The kinesitherapy program was identical in both groups, but the experimental group received magnetotherapy, while the control group did not. The rehabilitation program lasted for two 6-day cycles with a 1-day interval between. The patients in both groups were tested for range of movement in the knee, the strength of the femoral quadriceps, and the circumference of the affected limb, measured at the joint and 20 cm above the patella, before, during, and after rehabilitation. Results. In the experimental group the patients recovered normal range of movement somewhat faster. These patients also showed greater increases in limb circumference above the joint and greater reduction of edema in the joint itself. No significant differences were found in respect to muscle strength. Some patients from the control group showed a recurrence of edema, which did not take place in the experimental group. Conclusions. In view of the faster improvement in range of motion and the significant reduction of edema in the operated limb, the use of low-frequency impulse magnetic fields can be recommended for the rehabilitation of patients recovering from arthroscopic ablation of the medial meniscus.

Neuromobilization in the treatment of post-traumatic lumbo-sacral pain: a case study

Janusz Boczar, Łukasz Wojtyczek

Janusz Boczar, Łukasz Wojtyczek – Neuromobilization in the treatment of post-traumatic lumbo-sacral pain: a case study. Fizjoterapia Polska 2003; 3(4); 384-386

Abstract

Background. The purpose of this article is to present the neuromobilization technique as a useful procedure in physical therapy. Material and methods. The paper presents a case study of a male patient who was treated at the Subcarpathian Hospital in Krosno, Poland. In addition to various kinds of PT procedures, the neuromobilization technique was implemented in treatment. Results. We noted improvement in range of movement and muscle strength, and decreased pain after treatment. The patient regained a very high functional status. Conclusions. Neuromobilization is a successful method when used to treat patients with neurobiomechanical problems, and should be implemented in regular physiotherapy.

Magdalena Wilk, Bogusław Frańczuk, Rafał Trąbka, Wojciech Szwarczyk – Outcome of early rehabilitation with continous passive motion for patients recovering from surgical reconstruction of the knee due to degenerative changes. A preliminary report. Fizjoterapia Polska 2004; 4(2); 163-166

Abstract

Background. Due to the increasing number of surgical knee constructions, there is a constant search for new solutions in surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods. The goal of rehabilitation is to enable the patient to return to normal activities of daily living and recover functional independence as soon as possible. Continuous passive motion (CPM) is one of the methods currently used for patients recovering from surgical reconstruction of the knee. Material and methods. Our research involved 60 patients who had received total endoprostheses due to degenerative changes in the knee, divided at random into two groups. Both groups received the same rehabilitation program except for CPM, which was applied only in group I. All patients were examined twice (before and after surgery) to measure body mass, range of movement in the knee joints (using a Sanders digital inclinometer), and muscle strength in the femoral quadriceps. Results. The outcome was more favorable in group I, where CPM was used, both in terms of the average range of movement and on the VAS scale. The patients in group I also reported greater satisfaction. CPM applied in early rehabilitation for this patients accelerates the recovery process. Conclusions. The introduction of CPM in the early post-surgery period contributes to shortening recover time, increases the range of movement in the operated knee, reduces pain and tension in soft tissues, facilitates healing, and accelerates the resorption of hematomas.

Ewa Puszczałowska-Lizis, Paweł Lizis – The influence of systematic physiotherapy on upper limb function in post-mastectomy women. Fizjoterapia Polska 2011; 11(1); 41-48

Abstract
The aim of this paper was to evaluate the effect of physiotherapy on upper limb function in post-mastectomy women. Thirty-three women attending the Amazons Post-Mastectomy Women’s Club at the Holy Cross Cancer Centre in Kielce were examined on two occasions at three months’ interval. The participants were divided into Group I of 15 patients regularly attending rehabilitation and Group II of 18 patients practicing rehabilitation occasionally. Bilateral measurement of the angular range of motion in the shoulder was the basic method of assessment. A shoulder range of motion of the upper limb on the operated side smaller by more than 10° in relation to the opposite limb was regarded as ROM limitation. Upper limb circumferences were also measured at 10 cm above and below the lateral humeral epicondyle and in the central metacarpus excluding the thumb to an accuracy of 1 mm. Circumferences of the upper limb on the operated side greater by more than 2 cm compared to the opposite limb were regarded as lymphoedema. Our evaluation of statistical significance of correlations between qualitative parameters (influence of rehabilitation on limitation of the shoulder range of motion and incidence of lymphoedema) relied on the non-parametric Chi-square test (χ²).There was a statistically significant correlation between regular rehabilitation practice and the shoulder range of motion and persistence of upper limb lymphoedema on the mastectomy side.Physiotherapy improves ROM and effectively prevents deterioration of upper limb lymphoedema in post-mastectomy women.
