Background. In 2008, the Movement Disorders Society published the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS). This has become the established tool for assessing the severity and disability associated with dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). We translated and validated the Polish version of the UDysRS, explored its dimensionality, and compared it to the Spanish version, which is the Reference Standard for UDysRS translations.Materials and methods. The UDysRS was translated into Polish by a team led by JS and GO. The back-translation, completed by colleagues fluent in both Polish and English who were not involved in the original translation, was reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee of the MDS Rating Scales Programme. Then the translated version of the UDysRS underwent cognitive pretesting, and the translation was modified based on the results. The approved version was considered to be the Official Working Document of the Polish UDysRS and was tested on 250 Polish PD patients recruited at movement disorder centres. Data was compared to the Reference Standard used for validating UDysRS translations.

Cardiovascular diseases are the most common health problems in highly developed countries. After first rehabilitation stage, patients needs help with long-term recovery process. Physiotherapy for cardiac patients is multifaceted, but it is mainly based on physical capacity. Except physical activity also important are psycho condition and diet. Actually, problems in patients after hospitalization are the lack of motivation to continue training (monotonous exercise) and the fear about pain (recurrence). Patients health during training should be monitored. One of the easiest and most available way is 6-minute walk test. Additionally patients need to have periodic, sensitive tests at clinic (exercise test on treadmill). New scientific reports suggest extending classical rehabilitation ex. water activities, interval training, and more strength exercise. Variety of possible activity, which are safe for patients, will make rehabilitation more approachable.
