K. Wojciechowski, M. Kiljański, K. Mirecki, J. Szczegielniak – The characteristics of patients undergoing neurological rehabilitation. FP 2015; 15(3); 78-89

Abstract
The present paper is an attempt to characterize the profile of a patient referred for neurological rehabilitation.
The research material included data collected from nine units of intramural neurological rehabilitation which had signed contracts with the Lodz Voivodeship Department of the National Health Fund.
The analysis of research material with respect to the age of patients undergoing neurological rehabilitation has shown that the most commonly rehabilitated patients were those aged between 56-75 which constitutes 59.74% of all patients.
The research has shown that the most commonly reported diagnosis was “spastic hemiplegia” (40.58% of all patients) and “hemiplegia, unspecified” (21.19% of all patients).

Key words:
neurological rehabilitation, main diagnoses

Case study. Fizjoterapia Polska 2015;15(3);46-54

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.

A. Rutkowska, S. Rutkowski, W. Pawełczyk,  J. Szczegielniak: Fullerton test in the assessment of patients with COPD. FP 2015;15(4);90-97

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the physical fitness using Fullerton test in COPD patients over 60 years old. Study group consisted of 53 patients with COPD. Control group consisted of 34 healthy individuals students of the University of the Third Age in Głochołazy. To assess the physical fitness Fullerton test was used. There was a reduced physical fitness in patients with COPD, compared to the control group.

M. Krajczy, A. Bąk, K. Bogacz, J. Łuniewski, T. Dybek, J. Szczegielniak – Assessment of kinesiology taping effects in patients with intestinal passage disorders caused by ostoperative adhesions based on test measuring hydrogen level in exhaled air. Preliminary reports. FP 2016; 16(2); 6-13

Abstract

Introduction. One of the ways to treat patients with intestinal passage obstruction due to adhesions after surgery can be physical therapy with the use of kinesiology taping.
Aim. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of kinesiology taping (KT) in the normalization of intestinal transit and assessment of hydrogen molecules exhaled by patients.
Material and methods . The study involved 20 patients (15 women, 5 men, average age 48.85 years) with the disorder of intestinal passage obstruction due to adhesions after surgery. Patients were divided randomly into test group BA (12 women, 4 men, average age, 47.67 years) and control KO (3 women, 1 man, average age 54.25). InBA group elastic therapeutic tape was applied to improve the intestinal transit. InKOgroup the placeboeffect was used (applications without therapeutic relevance). Hydrogen molecules in exhaledairtestwas used to evaluate the effects of kinesiology tapingapplications. Additionally, the number of defecation per day was assessed and stool form scale by Boston was used. All test were carried out prior to application and at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 24 day after application of KT. The level of hydrogen molecules in exhaled air was checked before the KTapplication and in the 5 and 15 day after application of KT.
Results. The study demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the number of defecation per day, normalization of stool consistency and reductionof hydrogen molecules in in exhaled air in BA group.
Conclusions. The results shown effectiveness of kinesiology taping in the process of digestion and intestinal passage normalization.
