Abstract
Background. Hip joint alloplasty is a very complicated therapeutic problem. The cooperation of the orthopedic surgeon with they physiotherapist is very important in successful treatment. The aim of current treatment strategies is to restore the function of the hip joint. This article describes the model of rehabilitation treatment we apply in our clinical practice.Material and methods. We examined 18 patients after hip alloplasty using a cementless endoprosthesis, operated in the Orthopedic and Traumatology Clinic of the Medical University of Bydgoszcz, and rehabilitated in the Rehabilitation Clinic of the Medical University of Bydgoszcz. On the basis of differences in limb length, the patients were divided into three subgroups: A) no difference in limb length; B) operated limb shorter; C) operated limb longer.Results. Significant differences among the subgroups were found in terms of the percentage of weight burden on the operated limb.Conclusions. Rehabilitation after hip alloplasty must consider each patient individually. Outcome depends not only on good surgical technique, but also the nature and quality of the rehabilitation program after surgery.

Abstract

The diversity of available strategies enables the choice of the optimal method leading to effective and safe clinical work. One such strategy is the PNF concept, which is characterized by a holistic approach to the patient and his problems. This makes it possible to treat the patient in his/her own environment, using familiar behaviors and situations. This article describes examples of the use of the MTD Control Balance Platform as an auxiliary device in an intensive program of functional exercises based on the PNF concept. Seven patients are described, all treated at the Rehabilitation Clinic of the Rydygier Academy of Medicine in Bydgoszcz. The examples include neurological and orthopedic disorders, as well as sports injuries. Only the patient’s adaptation to independent living is proof of the effectiveness of rehabilitation. This effect can be achieved by conducting therapy in the patient’s own environment, using familiar behaviors and situations. The examples of PNF therapy selected for presentation here, supplemented with the patient’s independent exercising on the MTD Control Platform, satisfy these conditions and can be recommended.

Abstract

Background. Contemporary rehabilitation is developing in many different directions. In view of the scope of research and practice, it is a discipline that joins many sciences sharing a common goal: to help the patient. This task is performed by an interdisciplinary rehabilitation team composed of the attending physician and the physiotherapist, along with other specialists. The constantly growing number of patients and increasing financial constraints are making it essential to seek new therapeutic solutions. One of many possible strategies is the PNF concept. This method is characterized by a holistic approach to the patient, based on behaviors and daily life situations with which the patient is familiar, and using available rehabilitation equipment. Case description. This article presents a case study of a female patient admitted for rehabilitation after a spinal cord injury (SCI) to the Department of Rehabilitation at the Bydgoszcz Medical University. Examples are provided of functional exercises used in the intensive rehabilitation program developed for this patient. The ASIA scale was used to assess outcome, along with functional tests for patients with paraplegia, a modified version of the Barthel test. Conclusions. The successful outcome in this case resulted from the cooperation of the entire therapeutic team, and from the exchange of information regarding the patient’s clinical status and progress in treatment. Close cooperation makes it possible to chose the optimal method, ensuring effective and safe work with the patient.

Abstract

Proper food is the element of a complex process of curing and rehabilitation and is still underestimated both by patients and therapists. The additional supplementation by suitable nutritious products may influence- to some extenton the length of the illness and the final result of the treatment. Year by year the specialized knowledge about the meaning and influence of dieted treatment increases. In search of finding appropriate food products we come back to using the natural sources and methods properly balanced by their quality and content. It is worth noticing that pre-sprouted barley, which has been grown for ages, has a lot of nutritious values. Medical and scientific survey upon activated barley proved such as benefits like: better metabolism, more energy and endurance, quicker burning of fat, improving the immune system, healthier blood cells and organs, better blood circulation, better healing and removing the toxins. Barley is the reach source of food necessary to growth, healing and good self-being.
