Streszczenie
Cel. Położenie miednicowe płodu komplikuje 3-4% wszystkich porodów w terminie. Celem tego badania było zbadanie wpływu połączenia technik spontanicznego ułożenia główkowego (SCV) ze stymulacją akustyczną na pozycję płodów w położeniu miednicowym oraz ich wpływ na wyniki matczyno-noworodkowe.
Materiały i metody. Przeprowadzono randomizowane badanie kontrolne z udziałem 60 ciężarnych kobiet w 32-34 tygodniu ciąży, które spodziewały się pojedynczego płodu w pełnym położeniu miednicowym. Zostały one podzielone na dwie równe grupy:
Grupa (A) składała się z uczestniczek interwencji, które stosowały techniki SCV w połączeniu z akustyczną stymulacją od 34 tygodnia ciąży, wraz z rutynową opieką przedporodową.
Grupa (B) skupiała uczestniczki kontrolne, które kontynuowały rutynową opiekę przedporodową do porodu.
Wyniki. Test chi-kwadrat wykazał statystycznie istotny wzrost liczby porodów drogą pochwową wśród uczestniczek z grupy (A) dzięki obróceniu się płodów w pozycję główkową. Tymczasem noworodki z grupy (B) wykazały statystycznie istotnie wyższy wynik w skali Apgar w pierwszej minucie życia w porównaniu z noworodkami z grupy (A).
Wnioski. Techniki spontanicznego ułożenia główkowego w połączeniu ze stymulacją akustyczną skutecznie przestawiają płód w położeniu miednicowym w pozycję główkową, co prowadzi do zmniejszenia liczby cięć cesarskich oraz powiązanych z nimi powikłań dla matki i noworodka.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG07B1B5

Streszczenie

Background. Rectus diastasis is a common problem affecting postpartum mothers. It decreases the integrity as well as functional strength of the abdominal wall, and causes low back pain and pelvic instability
Objective. To examine how TECAR therapy (monopolar capacitive resistance radiofrequency of 448 KHz) affects rectus diastasis in postpartum women.
Design. A prospective randomized controlled trial.
Setting. Outpatient physical therapy clinic, Kafr El Sheikh University.
Methods. Forty postnatal women having diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) > 2.5 cm were recruited and randomized into two equal groups; the control group received a program of selected abdominal exercises and low caloric diet of 1200 kcal/ day for 4 weeks, and the study group received the same control group interventions in addition to TECAR application. DRA degree was the primary outcome, while weight and body mass index measures were the secondary outcomes. All variables were measured at the baseline and after 4 weeks of the intervention by rectus diastasis test, abdominal ultrasonography, and calibrated weight scale.
Results. Analysis showed a significant reduction (P < .05) in weight, body mass index, rectus diastasis test, and ultrasound measures in both groups in favor of the study group
Conclusion. Using TECAR with a standard program of abdominal exercises and low caloric diet has more beneficial effects on postnatal DRA than practicing the exercise program alone with the low-calorie diet.

Nasr Awad Abdelkader, Walaa Mohsen Mohamed, Nagy Ahmed Zaky, Hamada Ahmed Hamada, Nadia Abdelazim Fayaz – Relationship between Hamstring Length and Gluteus Maximus Strength with and without Normalization in Patients with Mechanical Low Back Pain. Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(2); 16-20

Abstract
Background. Muscle strength is an important tool for the assessment of muscle function and is strongly influenced by body size. Therefore, utilization of strength body-size-independent measurements for muscle strength testing is important in comparing the strength measured in large populations. Mechanical low back pain is the commonest musculoskeletal disorder in clinical practice and is associated with gluteus maximus weakness and hamstring tightness. Objective. This study aimed to determine the correlation between hamstring length and gluteus maximus strength with and without normalization in patients with mechanical low back pain. Methods. Seventy-three patients diagnosed with mechanical low back pain participated in this study. First, gluteus maximus strength was measured isometrically as a force (kg) and then converted to torque (Nm). Gluteus maximus strength was normalized for body weight and height using the following formula:% (body weight × height) = torque (N × m) ×100 / body weight (N) × height (m), then the hamstring length was measured using the active knee extension test. Results. The study population consisted of 38 females and 35 males with mean age, body mass and height values of 31.42 ± 6.78 years, 75.63 ± 12.77 kg, and 170.43 ± 9.24 cm respectively. The Spearman product-moment correlation between hamstring length and gluteus maximus strength revealed that there was a positive strong correlation (p < 0.05) between hamstring length and gluteus maximus strength with and without normalization. Conclusion. Contrary to our expectations, there was a highly significant positive correlation between gluteus maximus strength (with normalization) and hamstring length, and a positive correlation between gluteus maximus strength (without normalization) and hamstring length.

Abstract
Purpose. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the impact of muscle energy technique and core stability exercises on lumbar lordosis angle, pelvic inclination angle, and lumbar range of motion (ROM) in adults with asymptomatic hyperlordosis. Materials and methods. Sixty subjects with documented lumbar hyper-lordosis, aged 18-30, had a lumbar lordosis angle > 58.5 ° with a body mass index of ˂ 29.9 kg/m2, were assigned randomly into three groups. Group (A) underwent muscle energy technique in addition to postural correction exercises, group (B) received core stability exercises along with postural correction exercises, while group (C) got a postural correction exercise only. The intervention was administered for 12 weeks, three days a week. Plain X-ray and double inclinometers were used respectively for the assessment of lumbar lordosis and pelvic inclination angles and lumbar flexion and extension ROM. Results. All groups reported a substantial decrement in both lumbar lordotic and pelvic inclination angles as well as a marked increment in lumbar flexion and extension ROM following intervention relative to baseline. Differences between groups were noteworthy with respect to lumbar lordotic angle, pelvic angle of inclination and lumbar flexion ROM with significant enhancements in favor of group A and B compared to group C, however, there was no difference between groups regarding lumbar extension ROM. Conclusions. Both muscle energy technique and core stability exercises are equally effective in correcting hyperlordosis and pelvic tilting, as well as in increasing lumbar flexion and extension ROM through improving lumbopelvic stability and pelvic symmetry in adults with asymptomatic hyperlordosis.

Abstract
Background and purpose. Children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy have impairments in fine motor skills above and beyond their unilateral impairments. The current study was conducted to compare the effect of hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy (HABIT) versus shock wave therapy on the affected upper extremity in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Materials and methods. Thirty hemiplegic children ranged in age from 4 to 8 years with hand spasticity ranged between 1 and 1+ grades according to the Modified Ashworth Scale participated in this study. They were assigned randomly into two equal study groups. Group A received a designed physical therapy program and shock wave therapy one session 2000 shock, while the group B received the same physical therapy program in addition to bimanual arm therapy. Both groups received treatment sessions three times per week for three successive moths. Each child in the two groups was evaluated before and after the suggested treatment duration for detecting the level of hand performance using the Peabody Developmental Test of Motor Proficiency while, hand grip strength by a hand held dynamometer and active abduction and external rotation range of motion were measured by a standard universal goniometer. Results. The results revealed non-significant differences when comparing the pre-treatment mean values of all measuring variables for the two groups (p > 0.05), while significant improvement was observed in the two groups when comparing their pre and post treatment mean values. Also, significant differences were observed when comparing the post treatment results of the two groups in favor of the group B (p < 0.05). Conclusion. The results suggested that, hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy appears to have a positive impact on hand function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Nancy Hassan Aboelnour, Najlaa Fathi Ewais, Hamada Ahmed Hamada – Focused versus radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy in post burn hypertrophic scar: A single blinded randomized controlled trial. Fizjoterapia Polska 2019; 19(4); 150-155

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG1A3652

Abstract
Purpose. Hypertrophic scar (HTS) is one of the common post-burn complications that lead to functional and cosmetic impairments, so we pursued to examine efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on HTS in expression of improving scar thickness and appearance. Materials and Methods. 60 patients with post burn HTS were recruited in this trial and divided randomly into 3 equal groups. Group A: received focus ESWT (100 shock waves per cm2, 0.037 mJ/mm2, 4 Hz, 2 times/week for six weeks) plus traditional topical medication (MEBO Scaro cream). Group B: received radial ESWT (500 shock waves per cm2, 0.13 mJ/mm2, 6 Hz, 2 times/week for six weeks) plus MEBO Scaro cream. Group: received only MEBO Scaro cream. Ultrasonography was utilized for scar thickness measurement and scar characteristics assessment was done by Modified Vancouver Scar Scale (MVSS). All measures were gathered before the start of the study, and after termination of the trial (after 6 weeks). Results. Both focus and radial ESWT showed significant advance in scar thickness and MVSS post treatment (p > 0.001), without statistical differences between them (p > 0.05), while group C showed only a significant diminution in MVSS post treatment (p > 0.001), without any change in scar thickness. Conclusion. Higher statistical results were achieved with both focus and radial ESWT without any side effects, confirming the safety and efficiency of ESWT in HTS management.
