Abstract

In the opinion of many authors, surgical reconstruction of the shoulder enables optimal recovery of functionality. The problem of post-surgical rehabilitation remains a point of however, due to differences of opinion regarding the optimal time to commerce rehabilitation, the order which exercises are introduced, and the need to modify physiotherapeutic procedures. Long-term cooperation within the treatment team and good cooperation with the patient can guarantee a positive rehabilitation outcome. The rehabilitation program should be individually tailored and modified at each stage of treatment. On the basis of a review of the literature and their own experience, the authors have developed a basic post-surgical rehabilitation program, which enables the recovery of optimal joint function. The article is illustrated by photographs showing the proposed exercises.

Abstract
Background. Cerebral stroke is defined by the WHO as sudden onset of rapidly developing clinical signs of focal disturbance of cerebral function, with symptoms lasting longer then 24h, or leading to death, caused by changes in the arterial or vascular system of the brain. The aim of this study was to assess the effect to early rehabilitation on the locomotor function in stroke patients. Material and method. A group of 30 patients with hemiparesis within 24h after the onset of stroke and after 14 days of rehabilitation. The locomotor assessment was carried out according to the PNF functional status of muscles and gait patterns. Activities of daily living were evaluated according to the Repty Functional Index (RFI) and the Simple Chart of Locomotor Activities (PKCM). The level of disability was graded to the Rankin scale. For logistic reasons, the study did not include a control group, so that the paper is treated as a preliminary report.Results. Locomotor improvement was achieved in 40% of patients, with reduction in disability in 50%. Improved locomotor function led to urinary function improvement in 50% of patients. Motor dysfunction of the upper limb was reduced thanks to physiotherapy in 40% of patients. Conclusions. Early rehabilitation leads to improved function as defined by the functional status of muscles and hait patterns. The adopted rehabilitation programme resulted in improved functional indepedence evaluated on the basis of the Repty Functional Index (WFR) and Simple Chart of Activities (PKCM). The locomotor improvement resulted in urinary improvement in 50% of patients. Early rehabilitation improved the locomotor function of the paretic upper limb. The conclusions need to be verified in further studies with control groups.

Abstract

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of hemispatial neglect in stroke patients and to determine whether this condition can affect the results of early rehabilitation and hospitalization duration.
Materials and methods. 63 randomly selected stroke patients were examined. The participants were divided into two groups: group A – participants without hemispatial neglect; and group B – participants diagnosed with hemispatial neglect. Physical functionality of participants, assessed at admission to the rehabilitation ward and at discharge, was compared. The results were organized into tables and graphs. The collected data were analyzed with the chi-square test of goodness of fit.
Results. The results show an increase in physical functionality of all participants. Participants without hemispatial neglect have considerably improved in their functional independence, needing little help with most activities assessed as part of the study. On the other hand, participants diagnosed with hemispatial neglect showed much less improvement, despite the same amount of therapy, and remained on a lower mobility level. Hence, hemispatial neglect affected their hospitalization duration.
Conclusion. Participants with hemispatial neglect exhibited slower functional recovery. Hemispatial neglect affects hospitalization duration (R=0.0082).
