Abstract
Introduction. In recent years, an increasing number of people are choosing to be physically active. The most popular sports include swimming, running or cycling. Disorders of pelvic statics can affect the incidence of injuries during physical activity.
Objective. The main objective of this study is to show the relationship between proper pelvic statics and the incidence of injuries during amateur running or swimming based on analysis of available literature.
Material and methods. A review of the current literature available on the given topic was carried out. The materials needed to analyze the topic come from specialized magazines and articles found on the Internet. Internet search engines were used: Google Scholar and PubMed.
Discussion. Running is a popular physical activity around the world. Musculoskeletal injuries in runners are common and can be attributed to the inability to control the pelvic balance in the frontal plane. The pelvis also plays a significant role in swimming. Its correct position allows you to maintain optimal movement of the lower limbs, which results in greater economy and increased speed.
Conclusions. Incorrect pelvic statics affect the incidence of injuries of the lower limb muscles. The pelvis position modifies the economics of walking, running and swimming. The symmetry of the pelvis during swimming determines the correct technique and increases the efficiency of the lower limbs.

Key words:
pelvis statics, gait economics, amateur swimming, lower limb muscle injuries

Abstract

Introduction. Radiculopathies and pseudoradiculopathies are the most common pain syndromes of the lumbar spine. This issue became a civilization disease and affects people of various ages. Goal. The goal of this work was to compare analgetic effectiveness of physiotherapy in radiculopathies and pseudoradiculopathies and to identify an association between syndromes of vertebral origin disorders of muscular elasticity as well as to assess the effects of therapy on pain-induced discomfort.
Material and methods. Study included 40 patients divided into two groups. Group A consisted of patients with radiculopathy, while group B comprised pseudoradiculopathy subjects. Muscle energizing techniques (MET), Hold Relax method and classical massage of musculofascial structures were applied in therapy. It also involved physiotherapeutic procedures (Interference currents, Tens, Iontophoresis, UD, Laser, Sollux). Results. Based on the Oswestry questionnaire it was determined that among group A patients level of disability was reduced by 38%, while in group B it decreased by 31%. In both study groups therapy contributed to reduction of pain measured in VAS scale by 58%. Lumbar spine mobility measured with Schober test increased by 11% in group A and by 5% in group B. Administered physiotherapy contributed to normalization of length and tension of musculoligamentous structures. Conclusions. Study results show that radiculopathies and pseudoradiculopathies affect the disorders of pelvic statics presenting with shortening of muscle fibers and increased activity of connective tissue structures in this region. Physiotherapeutic methods applied in treatment of radiculopathies and pseudoradiculopathies significantly reduce pain. Some techniques (MET) restore muscle elasticity, contributing to lessening of discomfort.
