Abstract
Medical records are very often treated by medical staff as an additional, unpleasant and unnecessary duty. However, it is currently the basic, undeniable source of defence against all claims of patients, both formal, regarding the correctness of the records, and substantive, related to the allegations of medical malpractice during the provision of medical services.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG1411DD

Abstract
Physiotherapists are regarded as one of the medical professions of public trust. The Act on Physiotherapist Occupation establishes physiotherapists as a medical occupation of public trust. Medical professions of public trust, such as doctors, nurses, and paramedics, have special legal protection not available to physiotherapists. The Act on Physiotherapists has not defined the physiotherapist as a civil servant. It directly deprives physiotherapists of special legal protection that is assigned to civil servants.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG0DD753

Abstract
Rheumatic diseases are not fatal, but they result in shorter life expectancy of the patients suffering from them. This applies to all inflammatory rheumatic diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Rheumatic diseases, in which most of all the joint inflammatory process develops with progressive joint damage, are the cause of patients’ disability, prevent patients from working and everyday functioning, also at home, and affect all aspects of social life. The objective of rehabilitation in RA is to relieve pain, reduce or inhibit inflammation, and maintain the proper functioning of the locomotor system while slowing down or ceasing structural lesions in the joints.

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.

M. Curyło, M. Wilk-Frańczuk, M. Rynkiewicz-Andryśkiewicz, J. W. Raczkowski – The impact of BMI value on the Wejsflog index, and the foot pain assessment. FP 2014; 14(3); 22-34

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG13A492

Abstract

Introduction. The foot is not only the organ having great stability and overload endurance, but also one being a dynamic spring and, due to this feature, functioning as a shock absorber.
Aims of the work
1. Determining if there exists a correlation between Wejsflog index and the body mass of patient;
2. Determining if the body mass is a risk factor for the transverse arch lowering;
3. Determining if the body mass and the structure of the transverse foot arch influence the appearance of the foot pain ailment.
Material and methods. The research was carried out in Krakow in 2012-2013 period. The examined group of the research consisted of 249 patients, including 178 women and 71 men, aged 21-88 (average age of 52 years).
Results. P-value of the chi-square test is less than 0.05, thus the value of Wejsflog index significantly depends on the BMI: the higher the BMI, the more frequently the transverse arch lowering occurs. P-value of the Mann-Whitney test is greater than 0.05, thus the evaluation of the pain strength is statistically not dependent on the Wejsflog index.
Conclusions
1. The influence of the correlation between the body mass index (BMI) and the frequency of occurrence of the transverse foot arch lowering measured by the Wejsflog index has been proven.
2. Increased body mass defined by the body mass index (BMI) as overweight and obesity is a significant risk factor for the transverse foot arch lowering.
3. Increased body mass index as well as the transverse foot arch lowering measured by the Wejsflog index have no influence on the occurrence of the foot pain ailment.

Key words:
body mass index (BMI), Wejsflog index, transverse arch of the foot
