Abstract
Background. The main purpose of this work is to determine how early physiotherapy influences the recovery of motor capacity of the upper and lower limb and ability communicate in patients following surgical treatment of traumatic subdural and epidural hematomas. Material and methods. The study group included 84 patients who had undergone surgery due to traumatic subdural and epidural hematomas. The patients were subdivided into two subgroups according to the type of physiotherapy they received. Motor capacity of the lower limb and ability to communicate were assessed according to the Brunnström scale. The Wilcoxon test for dependent data and U-Mann-Whitney test for independent data were used to compare means. Results. The results of the study confirmed a significant improvement of motor capacity of the upper and lower limb as well as the ability to communicate in all patients. However, the recovery of the motor functions in patients subjected to physiotherapy combining selected models of the PNF-concept and the Bobath method occurred significantly faster when compared to patients treated with standard physiotherapy. No differences between the subgroups were recorded with respect to the recovery of the ability to communicate. Conclusions. The results also suggest that the greatest potential for disturbed functions exists in the early postoperative period (Days 1-5).

Abstract

Background. Surgical treatment after fingers flexor tendons’ injury requires a consequent physiotherapy of the handthat is basedonwell-establishedessential procedures. There are no reports on comprehensive hand physiotherapy treatment aftertraumatic injuries of the tendons, blood vessels and nerveswith an application of theHand Tutorsystem in the therapeutic process.
Aim of the study. The aim of the study is to present a comprehensive hand physiotherapy after surgery and revision of the tendonswith a rehabilitation system with biofeedback- Hand Tutor TM, which is a modern system designed for the therapy of sensory, motor and cognitive disorders of the hand.
Materials and methods. The study presents a case of a 42 year-old man. The patient suffered from the injury of a right hand with a significant damage of tendons, artery and ulnar nerve,  operatet on 2012. Complications after the performed surgery were observed during the recovery (inflammation, swelling and tissue adhesions). In the therapy early comprehensive hand physiotherapy was introduced (with an application of the system for hand physiotherapy with biofeedback – Hand Tutor TM).
Results. The study shows that introduction of an early, comprehensive physiotherapy together with the Hand Tutor device was successful in terms of the wound healing process and significant improvement in hand function after surgery. It appears that appropriately selected physiotherapy procedures may positively influence the effectiveness of the general therapy. Final results showed significant improvement in passive and active range of motion of the injured hand as well as in the speed of the movements. The study also showed a reduction of the subjective levelof the pain and the return of the ulnar nerve function.
