The position of the pelvis depends on age, angle value of lumbar lordosis and BMI. Individuals with and without pain differed significantly in terms of the anterior pelvic tilt. The risk of LBP incidence increased with age in the study group.
Ankle sprains are the most common sports injuries, but they also happen to people that do not do any sports at all. Most of them are inversion-type traumas which could harm soft tissues like lateral collateral ligaments, capsule and peroneal tendons. The vast majority of these injuries are grade sprains where there is no clinical instability. Very often treatment is based on conservative protocols, i.e. RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation), immobilization and avoiding weight bearing. Besides the above procedures, in the following period of time some modalities are planned, and there is not enough attention paid to regaining function after the acute stage. Such a conservative approach over a longer period of time should be reserved for fractures and grade sprains because immobilization leads to loss of pro-prioception and the formation of inelastic scar tissue caused by ligamentous adhesions. It takes about weeks to form adhesions, and clinically those patients complain about pain, sometimes also with swelling, after some exertion. One treatment option is deep friction and manipulation of adherent lateral ligaments to break the adhesions. The aim of this paper is to show an alternative treatment option which is safer than manipulation. The authors propose the use of a shockwave therapy in combination with a home exercise stretching programme in positions reproducing the trauma mechanism to remodel the scar tissue. Additionally, there should be proprioception exercises for prophylaxis and regaining normal function. ABSTRAKT Skręcenia stawu skokowego są jednym z najczęstszych urazów sportowych, ale dotyczą także osób, które w ogóle nie uprawiają żadnych sportów. Większość z nich to tzw. urazy inwersyjne mogące powodować uszkodzenie tkanek miękkich, takich jak: więzadła poboczne, torebka stawowa, ścięgna mięśni strzałko-wych. Zdecydowana większość tych urazów to skręcenia I stop-nia bez cech niestabilności klinicznej. Często leczenie w tych przypadkach opiera się na konserwatywnym protokole RICE (odpoczynek, chłodzenie, kompresja, elewacja), unieruchomieniu i odciążeniu kończyny. Powyższe postępowanie w późniejszej fazie uzupełnione jest o izykoterapię, jednakże mało uwagi zwraca się na pracę nad funkcją stawu w momencie ustąpie-nia fazy ostrej. Konserwatywne postępowanie w dłuższej per-spektywie powinno być zarezerwowane wyłącznie dla złamań i skręceń stopnia III, dlatego że długo trwające unieruchomienie prowadzi do utraty propriocepcji i powstania nieelastycznej bli-zny spowodowanej zrostami więzadłowymi. Tworzenie zrostów trwa ok. tygodni. Klinicznie pacjenci zgłaszają ból, a czasem także obrzęki po pewnym wysiłku. Opcją leczenia jest głęboki masaż poprzeczny i manipulacja więzadeł pobocznych do rozer-wania zrostów. Celem pracy było zaproponowanie alternatywnej terapii, bez-pieczniejszej niż manipulacja. Autorzy proponują zastosowanie terapii falą uderzeniową w połączeniu z programem ćwiczeń do wykonywania w domu odtwarzających mechanizm urazu tak, żeby przebudować nieelastyczną tkankę. Powyższe postę-powani...
The importance of physiotherapy in improving quality of life of patients in long-term care is not yet fully understood. The aim of the study was to assess the quality of life and functional status of patients in long-term care with respect to their rehabilitation. Study design: Cross-sectional. The study was conducted among a group of 58 individuals. A questionnaire to collect the data concerning rehabilitation, the Barthel scale, VAS and WHOQOL-Bref were used. The functional condition was assessed as moderately heavy and light in 83.9% of participants. More than 70% of patients rated the quality of life as good and very good. There was no significant relationship between participation in rehabilitation and quality of life of the subjects (p=0.35). There was a monotonic relationship between the social domain of quality of life and satisfaction with rehabilitation (r=0.34, p=0.01). There was a significant correlation between the quality of life and BMI, education, pain and level of functional efficiency assessed using the Barthel scale. The majority of the studied nursing-home residents participated in rehabilitation and were satisfied with it, which positively affected the quality of life in terms of social relations. physiotherapy, quality of life, functional status, long-term care Received: 2nd Mar. 2016; Accepted for publication: 7th Jan. 2017
