Abstract
Introduction. When performed according to the most recent standards, rehabilitation and nebulization enable the prevention of progression of cystic fibrosis.
Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the parents’ knowledge concerning the disease, education of pro-health attitudes, taking care of pulmonary rehabilitation equipment, and following the recommendations on how to perform inhalations correctly.
Materials and methods. Seventy-four parents with at least one child affected by cystic fibrosis participated in a survey, where we applied our own questionnaire.
Results. A majority of the parents claim to possess knowledge about the disease and to be familiar with the specialist terminology; however, a control question does not confirm that. Only 50% of the respondents take advantage of a positive influence of physical effort on the respiratory function, whereas 50% of the children assume incorrect positions during nebulization, and merely half of the parents maintain nebulization equipment in the right way.
Conclusions. Parents still need further education concerning their children’s condition, the principles of their rehabilitation, hygiene, the ways of properly maintaining the equipment, as well as dosing the suitable amount of physical activity on a daily basis.

Abstract
In the course of rhabdomyolysis, breakdown and necrosis of muscle fibres occur, and the toxic content of cells leaks into the systemic circulation. In adult patients, the causes of rhabdomyolysis may include injuries, crushing as a result of accidents, prolonged immobilization, high voltage electric shock; while in children, in particular the youngest children, viral infections constitute the most common cause. Based on the analysis of the collected literature, no standardization of physiotherapeutic treatment in paediatric patients with rhabdomyolysis was found. The objective of the study is to present a case of a 5-year-old boy with a complicated course of the A(H1N1) influenza virus infection, as a result of which he required physiotherapeutic and orthotic treatment adapted to the patient’s clinical condition and functional abilities. Treatment of paediatric patients with rhabdomyolysis is symptomatic. Pharmacotherapy and rehabilitation affect the maintenance of and/or increase in the range of mobility in the joints, and the use of orthoses helps maintain therapeutic effects.
