The rising number of patients with the arthroscopic removal of calcium deposits in the shoulder joint has increased the need for high-quality post-surgical rehabilitation care. The aim of the survey was to identify the effectiveness of physical therapy following the arthroscopic removal of calcification from the shoulder joint and to compare the impact of the physical therapy on painfulness. The survey was conducted on 24 patients that had been intentionally selected. They were divided into two groups according to their physical therapy. One group was treated by means of ultrasound, and the other by 4-week magnetotherapy. The patients had an average age of 52.54 years. For the purposes of the summary of statistics we used Chi-squared test. Table values of chi-square were calculated on a standard level of significance 0.05. Statistically verified results showed that the influence of the ultrasound on painfulness was better when compared with magnetotherapy. Two patients treated by ultrasound claimed difference in painfulness by two degrees. Eight patients claimed 8 degrees and 2 claimed 4 degrees. As for magnetotherapy, 1 patient claimed 1-degree difference, 10 patients claimed 2 degree and there was just one who claimed 3-degree difference. Magnetotherapy did not see a single patient claiming 4-degree difference in painfulness. The survey confirmed the positive effects of physical therapy. It is necessary to instruct patients properly and encourage them to have positive approach to physical activity at home. Since its extent and performance are limited due to painfulness, physical therapy is recommended, especially an ultrasound that has proven itself in practice.

Background: The aim of the clinical study was to investigate and compare the impact of non-robotic assisted therapy to classical kinesiotherapy to improve the function abilities of upper extremity. Patients and methods:Sixty patients were divided randomly into two study groups. In the main group, patients completed a non-robotic assisted therapy and in the comparative group, they completed a classical kinesiotherapy. The age range of patients was from 6 to 17 years of age with impaired upper extremity. They all participated in 20 therapies.Results: Statistically significant results were obtained in patients who completed the Armeo ® therapy in all ranges of motion, the best improvement (p = 0.000) of shoulder and elbow flexion, and wrist extension, in all grips of the hand, the best improvement (p = 0.000) in lateral pinch, spherical and cylindrical grip and in Frenchay Arm Test in all tasks, the best improvement (p = 0.000) in tasks 1 and 5. The comparative group of the patients achieved statistically significant results only in elbow flexion (p = 0.005), radial deviation (p = 0.046), in ulnar deviation (p = 0.011). In other movements, grips and tasks were the results that are not statistically significant. Conclusion:For the improvement of function ability of the paretic upper extremity, the patients with cerebral palsy are statistically more effective from the non-robotic assisted therapy than those who completed the classical kinesiotherapy.
