Abstract
In the scientific literature and clinical practice, the interest in using Kinesiology Taping (KT) is still growing. Initially, the method was widespread in Asia in the 70s. In the U.S., it has been applied since 1990. In Europe, the approach was presented for the first time in 1998. In Poland, KT has been developing since 2004. KT philosophy is based on enabling the free movement through the restoration of normal perfusion fluids, analgesic system activation, activating the lymph flow and muscle tension adjustment, and correction of abnormal position of the articular surfaces. The aim of this study was to analyze the available literature on the efficacy and clinical use of KT in the process of Physiotherapy.The analysis included a methodical review of the literature databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, PEDro, PUBMED, INGENTA CONNECT and Google Scholar.We analyzed 87 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals on the use of KT in the various fields of medicine and of sport of which 3 were randomized trials. Among all publications and speeches reporting the efficacy of KT method there was no paper reporting the dangers or side effects of the method. The review indicates that most of the papers about KT were published Polish Journal of Physiotherapy.Kinesiology Taping is widely used in supporting the practice of physiotherapy.

Abstract
The term „occupational burnout” is used to define mental an emotional exhaustion, especially due to a long term exposure to stress. Studies show that occupational burnout is typically found in such professions as: physicians, physiotherapists, nurses, psychologists and social workers. In women, occupational burnout is manifested by emotional exhaustion. The objective of the study was to assess the level of life and job satisfaction among female physiotherapists, with particular reference to occupational burnout phenomenon. The sample included 30 female physiotherapists and the control group was composed of 30 female pharmacists. The research tools included Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (LSQ) and Burnout Scale Inventory (BSI). Statistical analysis was based on arithmetic means, standard deviations (SD) and the significance of differences between the mean values obtained from each occupational group. Significance level was established using Student’s-t test. The results indicate differences in the global life satisfaction score between the study and control groups. The studied female physiotherapists were diagnosed with chronic fatigue, requiring prompt preventive measures.

Streszczenie
Cele. Zbadanie wpływu terapii wodnej na funkcje oddechowe i jej wpływ na zdolności funkcjonalne chłopców z dystrofią mięśniową Duchenne’a (DMD). Materiał i metody. Do badania włączono dwudziestu czterech chłopców z DMD; ich wiek wahał się od siedmiu do jedenastu lat. Zostali losowo przydzieleni do dwóch równych grup; grupa poddawana terapii na ziemi otrzymała opracowany program fizjoterapii na ziemi, podczas gdy grupa poddawana terapii wodnej otrzymała ten sam program fizjoterapii do wykonania w wodzie na basenie, gdzie prowadzono zajęcia hydroterapii. Wszystkich chłopców poddawano fizjoterapii dwa razy w tygodniu przez trzy kolejne miesiące. Do pomiaru czynności oddechowych, w tym natężonej pojemności życiowej (FVC), natężonej objętości wydechowej pierwszosekundowej (FEV1) i wskaźnika FEV1/FVC% zastosowano spirometr. Testy funkcjonalne w czasie (TFT), w tym test chodu/biegu na 10 m, test wspinaczki lub zejścia po 4 standardowych schodach oraz test wstania z pozycji leżącej, po którym nastąpił test 6-minutowego chodu (6MWT) zastosowano do oceny wydolności funkcjonalnej obu grup, przed i po leczeniu. Wyniki. Wyniki uzyskane po leczeniu nie wykazały statystycznie istotnych różnic dla wszystkich zmiennych (P> 0,05) z wyjątkiem wskaźnika FEV1/FVC%, który wykazał statystycznie istotną różnicę (P = 0,0001) w obu grupach. Wniosek. Terapia wodna nie ma statystycznie istotnego wpływu na funkcje oddechowe i możliwości funkcjonalne chłopców z dystrofią mięśniową Duchenne’a.

Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(1); 178-186

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG079497

Abstract
Introduction. When performed according to the most recent standards, rehabilitation and nebulization enable the prevention of progression of cystic fibrosis.
Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the parents’ knowledge concerning the disease, education of pro-health attitudes, taking care of pulmonary rehabilitation equipment, and following the recommendations on how to perform inhalations correctly.
Materials and methods. Seventy-four parents with at least one child affected by cystic fibrosis participated in a survey, where we applied our own questionnaire.
Results. A majority of the parents claim to possess knowledge about the disease and to be familiar with the specialist terminology; however, a control question does not confirm that. Only 50% of the respondents take advantage of a positive influence of physical effort on the respiratory function, whereas 50% of the children assume incorrect positions during nebulization, and merely half of the parents maintain nebulization equipment in the right way.
Conclusions. Parents still need further education concerning their children’s condition, the principles of their rehabilitation, hygiene, the ways of properly maintaining the equipment, as well as dosing the suitable amount of physical activity on a daily basis.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG0794F0

Abstract
In the course of rhabdomyolysis, breakdown and necrosis of muscle fibres occur, and the toxic content of cells leaks into the systemic circulation. In adult patients, the causes of rhabdomyolysis may include injuries, crushing as a result of accidents, prolonged immobilization, high voltage electric shock; while in children, in particular the youngest children, viral infections constitute the most common cause. Based on the analysis of the collected literature, no standardization of physiotherapeutic treatment in paediatric patients with rhabdomyolysis was found. The objective of the study is to present a case of a 5-year-old boy with a complicated course of the A(H1N1) influenza virus infection, as a result of which he required physiotherapeutic and orthotic treatment adapted to the patient’s clinical condition and functional abilities. Treatment of paediatric patients with rhabdomyolysis is symptomatic. Pharmacotherapy and rehabilitation affect the maintenance of and/or increase in the range of mobility in the joints, and the use of orthoses helps maintain therapeutic effects.

Streszczenie

Introduction. Infantile cerebral palsy should not be treated as a separate disease entity. It is a complex of different symptoms resulting from various etiological factors. It is “a permanent, time-changing disturbance of movement or posture, or movement and posture, with dysfunctions, resulting from permanent, non-progressive brain damage at the stage of incomplete development”. It is estimated that the prevalence of cerebral palsy in Poland is 2.0–2.5 per 1,000 live births.
Objective. Assessment of the quality of life of children with ICP based on the opinions of their parents.
Material and methods. The study uses the method of a diagnostic survey. A group of parents of 25 children with infantile cerebral palsy and, as a control group, parents of 25 healthy children were interviewed. For this purpose, the CHQ-PF 50 child health questionnaire was used to measure the parents’ perceptions of their children’s quality of life.
Conclusions. Infantile cerebral palsy, like any other type of disability, reduces the quality of life. ICP has a negative impact on the functioning of children in society, causing them to feel discomfort in various areas of life.

Abstract
The act on the profession of physiotherapy was a long-awaited legal regulator regulating the profession of physiotherapy. Physiotherapy became not only an independent medical profession, but also a profession of public trust.
The provisions of the act on the profession of physiotherapy have resulted in the introduction of further legislative changes, including those regarding the possibility of prescribing medical devices.
In practice, this regulation filled the gaps in the scope of competences of physiotherapists. Pursuant to the new regulations, the list of medical devices that can be prescribed by physiotherapists with the right to independently provide physiotherapeutic services has been extended, with simultaneous differentiation of competences in this area for masters of physiotherapy and specialists in the field of physiotherapy.

Abstract
Swallowing is a complicated, multi-stage process, which consists of forms of volitional and automated activities of our body. Irregularities in its scope may have a neurological basis, not related to the morphology and function of the nervous system, or may be associated with the physiological aging process.
Dysphagia, presbyphagia and aphagia may have complications in the form of aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, dehydration, and deterioration of the quality of life. Multidisciplinary treatment, therapeutic and rehabilitation treatment, as well as involvement of a patient’s family and caregivers in this process is extremely important for patients with dysphagia.

M. Szczepaniuk, Z. Śliwiński, K. Markowski, G. Śliwiński – Effectiveness of manual therapy in pain syndromes originating from the cervical spine. Fizjoterapia Polska 2020; 20(1); 170-179

Abstract
Introduction. Cervical pain is a common problem worldwide and is increasingly prevalent. The structure of the cervical segment, as well as its biomechanics, contributes to this. The highest number of cases has been observed among professionally active people, however, the most vulnerable are people practicing a profession involving long-term sitting in one position for several hours. The spine is often overloaded due to long periods of remaining in unnatural and uncomfortable static positions. Pain is most often the result of changes in the paravertebral tissues occurring on a structural background. This problem affects 60–90% of the population and occurs in people aged 25–65. The main methods of treating pain syndromes include: kinesitherapy, i.e. movement therapy, physical procedures and various special methods, including the McKenzie method, PNF or manual therapy.
Objective The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of treating people with pain syndromes originating from the cervical spine with various physiotherapy methods.
Material and methods. The PubMed database was searched electronically using keywords such as ‘manual therapy’, ‘PNF’, ‘McKenzie method’, ‘pain syndromes’, ‘cervical spine pain syndrome’, ‘cervical spine’, ‘neck pain’, ‘neck pain therapy’ and the relevant studies were examined. Twenty-two publications were found, containing treatment of cervical spine pain syndromes using various methods, which were further analyzed. These articles were published between 2006 and 2019. Based on the analysis of titles and abstracts, five studies were excluded. Then another three studies were excluded based on the analysis of full texts. In total, 8 studies were excluded. Finally, the analysis of data contained in 14 studies was performed.
Results. It has been observed that pain is one of the most common symptoms of cervical spine disorders. Most often it is assessed using the VAS visual-analog scale. Based on the analysis of 14 studies, it is found that after the application of special physiotherapy techniques, pain is reduced.
Conclusions. Based on the analysis performed, it is concluded that the most commonly used method of measuring pain in patients before and after therapy is the VAS visual-analogue scale. After analyzing the results of selected studies, it can be clearly stated that special methods have a beneficial effect on reducing pain in patients with cervical pain syndrome, based on the average values before and after therapy.

P. Majos, M. Kiljański, K. Markowski, Z. Śliwiński – Analysis of pelvis statics in amateur swimmers and recreational runners. Fizjoterapia Polska 2020; 20(1); 100-105

 

Abstract
Introduction. In recent years, an increasing number of people are choosing to be physically active. The most popular sports include swimming, running or cycling. Disorders of pelvic statics can affect the incidence of injuries during physical activity.
Objective. The main objective of this study is to show the relationship between proper pelvic statics and the incidence of injuries during amateur running or swimming based on analysis of available literature.
Material and methods. A review of the current literature available on the given topic was carried out. The materials needed to analyze the topic come from specialized magazines and articles found on the Internet. Internet search engines were used: Google Scholar and PubMed.
Discussion. Running is a popular physical activity around the world. Musculoskeletal injuries in runners are common and can be attributed to the inability to control the pelvic balance in the frontal plane. The pelvis also plays a significant role in swimming. Its correct position allows you to maintain optimal movement of the lower limbs, which results in greater economy and increased speed.
Conclusions. Incorrect pelvic statics affect the incidence of injuries of the lower limb muscles. The pelvis position modifies the economics of walking, running and swimming. The symmetry of the pelvis during swimming determines the correct technique and increases the efficiency of the lower limbs.

Key words:
