Streszczenie
A group of 106 mature female recreational runners were studied in the context of their menstrual irregularities due to cycle length, menstrual cycle loss. Influencing factors such as running intensity, years of training, BMI, vitamin D intake were considered. The hormonal fluctuations associated with menstrual irregularities over a woman’s lifetime can lead to the initiation of a health cascade and the onset of many serious diseases such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular episodes. Observing the menstrual cycle in women who train to run provides insight into early indicators of more serious health problems that may affect them. Polymenorrhoea, oligomenorrhoea, secondary amenorrhea as well as amenorrhea of less than 3 months can be observed among mature women running recreationally. The irregularities examined may have important implications for women’s overall health. Influencing factors: BMI – does not correlate with menstrual interruption and secondary amenorrhea; training intensity – does not correlate with secondary amenorrhea, i.e., no relationship with distance run, number of training days, or length of training per day; years of training – correlates with longer menstrual interruption and secondary amenorrhea; vitamin D – correlates with number of cycles per year.

Abstract
Introduction. Dentists, due to the specificity of their professional work, consisting in prolonged stay in a static sitting position, frequent tilting and rotation of the torso, repeated sequences of movements, are at risk of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, which can lead to disability. The aim of this study was to evaluate an impact of chosen factors on the degree of disability resulting from pain in the cervical and lumbar spine among dentists.
Material and methods. The results of a diagnostic survey performed among 97 professional active dentists aged 30-40 years, who during 2 years preceding the study experienced back pain, were analysed. The research tool was the author’s questionnaire, Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Oswestry Distability Index (ODI). The collected research results were analysed with the use of Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman rank correlation.
Results. Only 4% of dentists declared reliable compliance with the principles of ergonomics at work, and 72% of respondents undertook physical activity in their free time. No statistically significant relationships were found between age, body composition, seniority in the profession of a dentist, the number of working hours per day, and the level of disability determined on the basis of the NDI and ODI. Working from lateral or posterior access, taking up physical activity, and using physiotherapeutic procedures were not factors differentiating the level of disability of the respondents.
Conclusions. There is a need to create programs popularizing the need for reliable compliance with the principles of ergonomics in the profession of a dentist, and the implementation of new concepts of work organisation with reference to researched professional group.

Abstract
Introduction. Children with psychomotor disorders require specialized, interdisciplinary, coordinated revalidation and therapeutic interventions focused on correcting developmental deficiencies or their compensation. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of a 3-month therapy in the Conductive Education system on independence, mobility and social functions of children with psychomotor retardation.
Material and methods. The study included 80 6-year-old children with psychomotor retardation. The research tool was the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory – PEDI.
Results. Statistically significant intergroup differences were found in the results of examinations I-II, related to the category: independence, mobility and social functions. There were no statistically significant discrepancies in terms of improvement (differences in the results of examination II versus examination I).
Results. The three-month therapy of children with disorders of psychomotor development in the Conductive Education System resulted in improvement in terms of independence, mobility and social functions. The extent of improvement, which was the difference between the results obtained in examination II and examination I, was comparable to the results of the therapeutic procedures carried out in the Day Ward of Neurorehabilitation.

E. Puszczałowska-Lizis, S. Kędzior, I. Zbrońska, S. Lizis – Attitudes of high school students towards people with disabilities. Fizjoterapia Polska 2020; 20(4); 144-153

Abstract

Introduction. Social attitude is a relatively permanent system of beliefs, emotions, feelings and behaviors in relation to a given object/person, which is the result of interactions that an individual is subjected to throughout their life. The aim of the study was to assess attitudes of upper secondary school students towards people with disabilities.
Materiał i metody. 287 students (122 women and 165 men) were included in the diagnostic survey using the author’s survey and the Scale of Attitudes Towards Disabled People in upper secondary schools. The data were analyzed based on Chi-square test, Mann Whitney U test, ANOVA Kruskal-Wallis test, post hoc test for multiple comparisons.
Results. Statistically significant relationships were found between gender and irony and mockery behaviors for people with disabilities (p < 0.001) and participation in actions for the disabled (p < 0.001). Gender differentiated the attitude towards charity actions for the benefit of people with disabilities (p < 0.001), and the type of school diversified attitudes of high school youth towards the disabled (p = 0.003).
Wnioski. Men more often directed irony and mockery at people with disabilities. Women had a better attitude to charity campaigns for the disabled and participate in them more often. High school students had definitely more positive attitudes than representatives of vocational schools and technical secondary schools.

The situation of mothers raising children with intellectual disabilities in relation to selected sociodemographic and clinical factors

E. Puszczałowska-Lizis, A. Rokosz, I. Zbrońska, S. Lizis –The situation of mothers raising children with intellectual disabilities in relation to selected sociodemographic and clinical factors. Fizjoterapia Polska 2020; 20(2); 110-124

Abstract
Background. The diagnosis of a child’s intellectual disability may trigger different emotions in parents, as a result of which the family may be strengthened, unified or weakened and destabilized. The aim of the study was to assess the situation of mothers raising children with disabilities depending on their age, living environment, education level and the degree of intellectual disability of the child.
Material and methods. The Chi-square test analyzed the results of 103 questionnaires from a diagnostic survey carried out in rehabilitation and educational facilities among mothers of children with intellectual disabilities.
Results. Statistically significant correlations between the age of mothers and the forms of education chosen for children (p = 0.021) and the type of extra classes (p = 0.015) were found. The level of education of mothers showed relationships with the type of sources of information about the specificity of child disorders (p = 0.043), and the degree of disability of the child with the frequency of receiving support from loved ones (p = 0.038), using institutional material help (p = 0.002), the type of factors that are most difficult to accept (p = 0.021), and feelings about the future of children (p = 0.002).
Conclusions. The mothers’ age determines the forms of education and the type of extra-curricular activities. The living environment does not determine the situation of families raising a child with intellectual disability. The mothers’ level of education determines the frequency of using sources of information about the specificity of a child’s disorder. The degree of intellectual disability of a child determines the frequency with which mothers can count on the support of the loved ones, the frequency of using material assistance provided by institutions, as well as the most difficult to accept factors and feelings about the future.

摘要
简介。在现代文明时代，腰椎病痛成为医学和社会问题，在慢性病中的多种疼痛综合症、复发性质和疼痛持续性促使人们去寻求有效的诊断和治疗方法。研究目的在比较两种水疗法对减轻上班族颈椎退行性疾病的疼痛和消除功能限制方面的有效性。
材料和方法。共144名年龄在45-55岁间的女性上班族参与研究，她们参与退行性变化过程中所产生颈椎疼痛的康复治疗。根据所应用的康复计划不同，这些女患者被分成两组。实验工具包括颈椎功能测试（Valsalva、Kernig、压缩测试及牵引测试）、颈椎活动范围的线性测量、NRS量表及NDI指数等。分析时所采取的测试包括：卡方检验、学生 t检定、曼-怀-威三氏检验等。
结果。两组康复治疗结束后，在功能测试、颈椎活动范围、NRS标度值及NDI指数方面均观察到具统计学意义的显著改善。第二组患者所取得的研究结果差异比第一组更大。
结论。两种治疗计划的使用均有助于减轻疼痛并改善功能效率，然而接受包含泥疗法在内计划的患者所获得的改善程度更大。
