Santrauka
Vaikai, sergantys cerebrine paralyže, paprastai yra mažiau fiziškai tinkami lyginant su tipiškai besivystančiais bendraamžiais. Tai daugiausia dėl to, kad vaikystėje trūksta fizinės veiklos ir mankštos. Jei paaugliai ir suaugusieji, sergantys cerebrine paralyže, negaus pakankamai mankštos, tai gali lemti sumažėjusią judrumą ir fizinę būklę. Labai svarbu pradėti gydymą nuo cerebrinės paralyžės, kai vaikas dar jaunas. Šio tyrimo tikslas buvo ištirti, kaip vaikai, sergantys spastine cerebrine paralyže, gali gauti naudos stiprindami savo rankų raumenų funkcijas spaudžiant kempinės teniso kamuoliuką atliekant rankų stiprinimo pratimus. Tyrimas įgyvendino tikrąjį eksperimentinį dizainą su prieš ir po testo kontrolinės grupės. Ši metodologija leido atlikti griežtą ir sistemingą tyrimą, užtikrinant patikimus ir validžius rezultatus. Tyrime dalyvavo dvylika 15 iki 17 metų amžiaus berniukų, kuriems visiems buvo diagnozuota spastinė cerebrinė paralyžė, dalyvavę kempinės teniso kamuoliuko gniaužymo pratimuose kaip intervencijos programos dalis. 30 minučių trukmės kempinės teniso kamuoliuko spaudimo pratimas apima 4-6 serijas po 15-20 kartų su 30 sekundžių pasyviomis pertraukėlėmis. Nustatyta programa reikalauja atlikti pratimą keturis kartus per savaitę šešias savaites. Prieš ir po intervencijos buvo naudojamas Rankų Spaudos Dinamometras, kad būtų įvertinta vaikų, sergančių spastine cerebrine paralyže, rankų raumenų jėga. Duomenų analizės technikos buvo taikytos naudojant nepriklausomų imčių t-testą su 5% reikšmingumo lygiu. Rezultatai parodė, kad po intervencijos dešinės rankos vidutinė raumenų jėga tarp kontrolinės ir eksperimentinės grupės (4,36 ± 1,35 kg prieš 34,16 ± 3,34 kg (p = 0,000)), kairės rankos vidutinė raumenų jėga po intervencijos tarp kontrolinės ir eksperimentinės grupės (2,31 ± 0,49 kg prieš 30,18 ± 2,08 kg (p = 0,000)). Tyrimo išvados rodo, kad dažnai atliekant teniso kamuoliuko gniaužymo pratimus, vykdomus keturis kartus per savaitę šešių savaičių laikotarpiu, gali būti pasiektas pastebimas pagerėjimas vaikų, diagnozuotų su spastine cerebrine paralyže, rankų raumenų funkcionalume. Tyrimo rezultatai rodo, kad įtraukiant šias veiklas į gydymo procedūras, gali būti teikiama reikšminga nauda asmenims, sergantiems šia konkrečia liga.

Oleg Panchenko, Anastasiia Kabantseva, Zbigniew Śliwiński – Emotional condition of children in eastern Ukraine. Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(4); 184-188

Abstract
Aim of the study. diagnosis and prognosis of mental disorders of preschool children who live in eastern Ukraine during armed conflict. Materials and methods. 1308 children aged 5–7 years old of Donetsk region were studied in the period of 2014–2018 years. Observation, conversation, psychodiagnostics and statistical methods were used. Results. Most respondents had fears of different nature (61.2%), anxiety, concern, worry (53.2%), manifestations of aggression (36.7%) and low self-esteem (18.4%). The dynamics of these indicators over the years remained at a high level. Also, the emotional state of parents and family atmosphere affected on the state of children’s health. Fathers’ neglect causes the need for additional attention (r = 0.305; p ≤ 0.01), while mothers’ neglect causes anxiety (r = 0.322; p ≤ 0.01) and neurotic states (r = 0.331; p ≤ 0.01). Conclusions. Armed conflict, social and legal difficulties in Ukraine demoralize society and pose a threat to the full children’s development. The results of the research emphasize the importance of organizing dynamic diagnostics of children’s mental health, as well as regulating appropriate measures for the prevention and elimination of negative emotional manifestations among children through the implementation of the medical-psychological and pedagogical system accompanying them.

O. Panchenko, Z. Śliwiński, A. Kabantseva, N. Tsapro – Collaboration of specialists in the rehabilitation of spine pathology. Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(4); 96-102

Abstract
To study the influence of the negative psychological state of children and adolescents living on the territory of hostilities, on the formation and course of spinal pathology. The sample consisted of 1467 people aged 5–18-year-old, whose parents had no complaints of the child’s spinal pathology, i.e. “relatively healthy children in respect of spinal pathology.” The growth of pathology of the spine during periods of intensive growth of the child was confirmed: in the 5–7-year-old age group for 3.49% of children, in the 8-10-year-old age group for 13.78%, in the 10-14-year-old age group for 17.89%, in the 15–17-year-old age group for 25.15% respectively. An increase in the prevalence of scoliosis in the Donetsk oblast (excluding the temporarily occupied territories) at the level of 28.26 cases per 1,000 schoolchildren, which is more than in other regions of Ukraine. The similarity of the pathogenesis of scoliosis, stress, and hypercalciuria was determined, which explains the data obtained by us on the prevalence of scoliosis in the ATO area, actually 95.89 cases per 1000 children, and 251.53 cases per 1000 adolescents aged 15-18-year-old. The manifestations of autonomic disturbances (rs = 0.34, p ≤ 0.01), sleep disturbances (rs = 0.43, p ≤ 0.01), anxiety (rs = 0.43, p ≤ 0.01) is increased among children with significant fear of war. There is a need to consider scoliosis as a stressor, and therefore children with scoliosis should get psychological rehabilitation and expert advice.

Jacek Klawe, Małgorzata Szady-Grad, Bernadetta Drzewiecka, Iwona Felczak – Iron and copper marking in the hair of school-age children using atomicabsorption spectrophotometry. Fizjoterapia Polska 2003; 3(1); 71-75

Abstract
Introduction. Copper and iron are necessary elements in the process of creating red blood cells. Copper activates the enzyme catalyzing bond between an iron and a ligand of a porphyrin. Iron participates in the last stage of blood biosynthesis. A deficit of one of these bioelements causes perturbations in the hemoplastic system. Material and methods. Solidification of the elements iron and copper was studied in the hair of school-age children (10-12 years old). The mineral composition of the human organism was analyzed by applying the method of atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAnalyst 800 Perkin-Elmer Company) using flame atomizer and one-element hollow cathode lamp. Similarities and differences between results we obtained and the results reported by other scientific centers were examined. Results. Medium copper concentration in the tested hair was 8.43 mg/g and the iron concentration was 10.15 mg/g. The level of these two elements was lower compared to the results reported by other researchers. The copper contents in the hair of girls and boys was 8.21mg/g and 8.63mg/g respectively, and iron content was 9.7mg/g and 10.68mg/g respectively.Conclusion. Our results show that the Cu and Fe concentration in the hair of children from Bydgoszcz is lower when compared to data received from other regions of Poland. New research is needed to determine if this results from dietary deficits, and if so, to develop solutions.

Abstract

Background. Her symmetry is in frontal area the basic criterion of opinion of attitude body. Have the same name osseous points in this plane should to be arranged in relation to axis of spine symmetrically and to be on equal height, and teenagers’ line spinous of spine should make up right line. Above mentioned conditions happen fulfilled seldom, because at man symmetry never is full. This results mainly with asymmetric position of internal organs, the environmental influences whether the only process of lateralisation. Material and methods. It triple investigations were hugged was 298 – personal group the same children. The computer set to analysis of size of asymmetry was applied to of opinion of attitude body using the phenomenon of projection moire thopography. Results. Asymmetries in frontal area at studied boys and girls be shaped similarly and stepped out in both groups in considerable percentage. Absolute differences in position of have the same name osseous points concerned distances from teen-agers’ line the bottom executioners of shoulder-blades the line spinous, height of triangles of waist as well as position basin in frontal area, however the most seldom both children’s groups asymmetries concerned in frontal area the depression angle. It it was showed was moreover that the asymmetries undergo decrease between 7 and 8 year of life and renewed enlargement between 8 and 9 year of life. The statistical also between years analysis show on similarity be shaping to asymmetry of trunk at boys and girls. Conclusions. 1.Frequency of occurrence in grounds of trunk the asymmetry changed along with the age the studied children. She be shaped in dependence from side of body differently. 2.More often considerable asymmetry was affirmed was at 7 year old children’s and 9 years old children’s, more seldom at 8 years old children’s. They asymmetries these in this lid belonged to reasonable.

Karol Sitarz, Tomasz Senderek, Janusz Kirenko, Jerzy Olszewski, Jolanta Taczała – Sensomotoric development assessment in 10 years old children with posture defects. Fizjoterapia Polska 2007; 7(3); 232-240

Abstract
Background. The aim of the study was to assess sensomotoric development disorders, subsequent defect location, and to show whether the disorders are associated with the presence or lack of postural defects. Material and methods. A hundred 10 years old children (50 girls ald 50 boys) from four primary schools in the Lublin Province participated in the study. There were two groups: the study group comprising 50 children with posture defects (25 girls and 25 boys) and the control group, comprising 50 children without posture defects (25 girls and 25 boys). The occurrence of posture defects was assessed by Kasperczyk grading, which consisted in visual evaluation of particular body parts. Assessment of sensomotoric development was performed with Child Sensomotoric Questionnaire (by Zbigniew Przyrowski). Results. On the basis of our investigation we conclude that out of 8 sensomotoric development systems the auditory system is most frequently impaired in children (such impairment was found in 48,0% of children with posture defects and 12,0% of children without posture defects). Conclusions. There is a strict connection between incorrectly functioning hearing system and posture defects in children, which shows the absolute Q coefficient value.

Abstract
Objectives. To evaluate the head and trunk postural alignment in Egyptian children diagnosed with β-thalassemia. Methods. Twenty male children with β-thalassemia aged from 6 to 10 years, were compared to healthy normal children within the same age. Images were taken from anterior, posterior, and lateral views after placement of markers on specific anatomical points. The Postural Assessment Software (PAS/SAPO) used to analyze the recorded images. Results. From the anterior view, there were statistically significant differences in the mean values of Horizontal Alignment of Acromion (HAA) and Horizontal Alignment of Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (HAASIS) between both groups (p < 0.05) respectively. From the right lateral view, there were statistically significant differences in mean values of Vertical Alignment of the Head (VAH) and Vertical Alignment of the Trunk (VAT) between both groups (p < 0.05) respectively. From the left lateral view, there was a_statistically significant difference in mean values of the Vertical Alignment of the Head (VAH) between both groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion. The results of this cross-sectional study concluded that thalassemia has a_negative impact on the postural alignment of the head and trunk of these children.

A. Ostrowska, A. Grzyb, M. Domagalska-Szopa, M. Lis, A. Koralewska – Assessment of aerobic capacity levels and selected motor skills in children with excessive body weight. Fizjoterapia Polska 2020; 20(5);  72-83

Abstract

Introduction. Overweight and obesity among children and adolescents is a serious problem of developmental age. It affects more and more children. Increasingly, children are consuming large amounts of processed and high-calorie food. Children move less and less because they spend their free time in front of the phone, TV or computer screen. A small amount of exercise promotes the development of excess body weight in children. Low physical activity also causes children not to improve their motor skills. In addition, many researchers point out the negative impact of excess child weight on their physical fitness.
Aim of the study. The aim of the study was an attempt to determine the level of selected motor skills in overweight and obese children and to determine the relationship between excess body weight in children and their motor skills.
Material and methods. The research group consisted of 25 children, including 12 girls and 13 boys aged 12 to 18 years. The subjects were diagnosed with overweight and simple obesity. The Romberg test, Tandem tests, medicine ball throw, toe-floor test, 40 or 60m run were used to assess the motor skills of children. To assess the children’s performance, the spiroergometric test, 6MWT = 6-minute walk test and the Borg scale after exercise were used. The “TANITA” weight was used to assess the body mass composition. The same test was performed in each child and the same tests were used to determine the level of selected motor skills, performance and body weight composition.
Results. The results obtained from the analysis of the results indicate the same development of motor skills in children with excessive and normal body weight. Moreover, the children showed the same exercise tolerance.

N. Habik-Tatarowska, P. Wieczorkowski, Z. Śliwiński – Assessment of the impact of sensory integration method on the development of laterality. Fizjoterapia Polska 2018; 18(4); 122-128

Streszczenie
Wprowadzenie. Jednym z aspektów, a zarazem i czynników rozwoju ruchowego dziecka jest postępujący proces lateralizacji, czyli inaczej przewagi stronnej jego ruchowych czynności. Lateralizacja u dzieci jest zróżnicowana pod względem siły i tempa rozwoju procesu. W wielu czynnościach niezbędna jest harmonijna współpraca oka, ręki i nogi, czemu sprzyja dominacja narządów po tej samej stronie ciała. Nieustalona lateralizacja staje się źródłem zaburzeń w orientacji przestrzennej oraz koordynacji wzrokowo- ruchowej. U dzieci wieku szkolnym zaburzenia procesu lateralizacji często stają się przyczyną niepowodzeń w czytaniu i pisaniu co może prowadzić do występowania zaburzeń emocjonalnych.
Cel badań. Głównym celem przeprowadzonych badań była ocena wpływu metody Integracji Sensorycznej na rozwój lateralizacji u dzieci.
Materiał i metody. Zbadano 46 dzieci w wieku 7-9 lat. Analizy rozwoju lateralizacji dokonano przed rozpoczęciem terapii metodą Integracji Sensorycznej oraz po 6 miesiącach jej trwania. Badania prowadzono od czerwca 2016 roku do grudnia 2017 roku. Przez okres 6 miesięcy terapia metodą Integracji Sensorycznej obejmowała następujące rodzaje ćwiczeń: stymulację polisensoryczną, ćwiczenia sprawności manualnej, ćwiczenia analizy i syntezy wzrokowej, ćwiczenia sekwencji słuchowych i wzrokowych, ćwiczenia pamięci sekwencyjnej i symultanicznej oraz ćwiczenia koordynacji wzorkowo-ruchowej.
Wyniki i wnioski. Analiza przeprowadzonych badań wskazuje na poprawę rozwoju lateralizacji na skutek prowadzonej terapii metodą Integracji Sensorycznej. Im wcześniej pomożemy dziecku wybrać dominującą rękę, tym wcześniej będzie ono gotowe do rozumienia mowy otoczenia i samodzielnego budowania zdań gramatycznie poprawnych.

Słowa kluczowe:

M. Wiernicka, E. Kamińska, D. Łochyński, E. Hurnik, Ł. Michałowski, D. Choszczewski, P. Kocur, M. Flis-Masłowska, Z. Śliwiński, J. Lewandowski – Gender Dimorphism of Postural Static Stability in Children 9 to 12 Years of Age. FP 2014; 14(2); 68-76

Abstract

Introduction. Equilibrioception – or sense of balance – is dependent on a number of features of the nervous system and motor system. A rotational sense of balance is fully developed at around 6 years of age; static and dynamic balance, however, is achieved at about 12 years of age.
Purpose. This paper aims to identify dimorphic differences of postural static stability in children of the same age range.
Research Material and Method. Material: The research group consisted of 450 children aged 9 to 12, comprising 235 girls and 215 boys. Research method: The measurement of the Centre of Pressure Sway Path length (mm) and the Sway Area size (mm2) with Eyes Open and Eyes Closed (EO/EC) using CQ-STAB device. The results have been subjected to statistical analysis.
Results. The results obtained did not present a normal distribution and therefore non-parametric tests were used for the calculations. The analysis shows that girls, when compared with boys, achieved significantly better results in static stability measured by determining both the Sway Path and the Sway Area of the COP, both in EO and EC conditions.
Conclusions. Research results analysis indicated a better postural static stability in females compared to male research participants. Gender differences were observed in the study in both Eyes Open and Eyes Closed conditions; this may indicate functional developmental variability of the central nervous system responsible for postural stability control in girls and boys.

Key words:
