Dariusz Lusina, Mateusz Curyło, Marcin Mikos, Katarzyna Placek, Jan W. Raczkowski – Patellar dislocation – conservative or surgical treatment. Fizjoterapia Polska 2022; 22(4); 28-31

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG1A60LR

Abstract
Patellar dislocation is an emergency, requiring immediate medical intervention, followed by the cooperation of the orthopedist and physiotherapist in returning to full health, as well as reducing the risk of relapse. The kneecap is an integral part of the knee joint and is responsible for its proper functioning. Among the methods of treatment used, there are conservative and surgical methods. The article is an attempt to answer the question whether there is an advantage of some methods over others. Materials available on the PubMed and Cochrane Library websites were used to obtain answers to the question asked. Due to different standards of management, the advantage of surgical over conservative has not been established, but there are researchable factors that may help in making therapeutic decisions.

Key words:
patellar dislocation, conservative treatment, surgical treatment

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG142R1m

Abstract
Purpose of study. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of sacral-lumbar orthoses on the occurrence of pain in patients with low back pain (LBP) and the effects of these orthoses on the muscles that stabilize the trunk based on the available literature.
Methods. For the purpose of this study, the following databases were searched: Pubmed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Medline, and others using the Google Scholar search engine using the following keywords: low back pain, lbp exercise, low back pain epidemiology, low back pain orthosis, low back pain therapy, LBP treatment, lumbar sacral orthosis.
Results. 26 of the 92 articles searched by the above method were analyzed in relation to the subject of the use of sacral-lumbar orthoses in patients with spinal pain syndrome. The analysis did not show that wearing a corset negatively affects muscle strength. Most current studies recommend using a corset in combination with exercise and/or pharmacotherapy for LBP.
Conclusion. There are not enough studies to conclusively determine the effect of lumbar sacral orthoses on the sensation of pain in the lumbar spine. Among the main limitations of the analyzed studies are difficulty in measuring pain, as pain is a subjective sensation, and the significant number of possible causes of LBP, which are sometimes difficult to specify.

3D printed orthosis supporting rehabilitation of children with nervous system disorders

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG1427jJ

Abstract
The main task of orthoses in neurological diseases is stabilization, correction and improvement of gait function. Orthoses actively support the work of muscles by proper alignment of individual body segments in relation to each other to facilitate the performance of the planned function. During upright standing, the task of the orthosis is to keep the upper ankle in a fixed, intermediate position, usually at an angle of 90°. This increases the base of support provided by the feet flat on the ground. Stabilization in the joints gives a chance to maintain the correct length of the muscles, and thus protects against contractures. Individual orthoses are used during upright standing and to improve the gait function with dedicated footwear. The brace widens the contour of the foot, so the footwear for orthoses is usually wider than the standard one, but it cannot be longer than the brace. One of the leading guidelines in gait analysis used in children with gait disorders are the criteria adopted by the Rancho Los Amigos Hospital. Despite the complexity of the problems with gait that patients report to a physiotherapist, a simple strategy should be adopted when it comes to securing with the orthosis. The role of orthopedic equipment is to support muscle failure by obtaining a stable stance phase.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG0DE0LR

Abstract
Objective. The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of wearing a Chêneau brace on the quality of life of patients with idiopathic scoliosis.
Methodology. The study used a short questionnaire that consisted of 12 questions – 4 questions about demographics and 8 questions about quality of life. The investigated aspects of life included difficulty in performing daily activities, feelings of embarrassment, sleep discomfort, irritability, and patients’ perceived benefits of this treatment procedure. Questionnaires were filled during follow-up visits. The study was conducted on a group of 30 patients aged 9–16 years treated for at least 6 months. Among the respondents there were 22 females and 8 males.
Results. Despite the small study group, the results of the statistical analysis confirmed the hypothesis that the brace significantly affects the quality of life of patients and has a greater impact on the quality of life of the female gender due to the disruption of aesthetics and the associated sense of shame. An association was observed between the sense of shame related to wearing a brace and the desire to “hide” the brace under clothing, as well as the perception of the benefits of wearing a brace and a lower sense of shame.
Conclusion. In the processes of rehabilitation and treatment of the patient with idiopathic scoliosis, a holistic approach that considers not only activities related directly to physiology, but also to patients’ well-being and quality of life is important.
