Background. Overweight and obesity are becoming an increasing problem in the world. As body weight increases, so does the risk of obesity-related diseases and the economic burden. More research is needed to help improve the physical and emotional well-being of overweight people. The aim. To evaluate the effects of aerobic and strength exercises on body weight and the anthropometric indicators of overweight and obese women. Methods. The study included 11 women who were overweight. Their height, weight and body mass index were measured. Subjects underwent an aerobic and strength exercise program that was administered 3 times per week for 9 weeks. The duration of each session was 1 hour. Results. Subjects lost 2.2 ± 1.4 kg after the aerobic and strength exercise program. Chest, torso, hip and thigh circumferences decreased (p <0.05). Conclusion. An aerobic and strength exercise program lasting nine weeks can reduce body weight and body circumferences in overweight women. Keywords: overweight, obesity, aerobic exercise, strength exercise, anthropometric indicators.

Background. Ankle sprain is the most common sports injury. Conducting physiotherapy with unstable platforms efficiently decreases risk of ankle injuries and increases static and dynamic balance parameters. Aim. To estimate the effect of physiotherapy on balance of volleyball players and the prevention of ankle injuries. Methods. The study involved 10 male volleyball players, who were randomly divided into two groups: intervention (physiotherapy with unstable platforms) and control (no physiotherapy applied). Flamingo test and modified star excursion balance test were used before and after intervention. Duration of intervention – 4 weeks. Results. After 4 weeks of physiotherapy with unstable platforms static balance increased in intervention group subjects by 66.7% (p < 0,05); however, there were no changes in the control group. Post intervention examination showed statistically significant increase in Y balance test results in different directions, while the control group did not show any change. Conclusion. After a physiotherapy program with unstable platforms, static balance as well as dynamic balance increased. A 4-week physiotherapy program with unstable platforms significantly decreased the risk of ankle injuries in male volleyball players. Keywords: balance, ankle injury prevention, volleyball.

Background. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown, most people with headache and neck pain were unable to access health care services, so it is unclear which remote physiotherapy methods would be effective in treating neck and head pain. Aim. To investigate the effects of virtual facial exercise and self-massage on women’s neck and head pain and functional condition. Methods. The study included 33 women 45–59 years old, who had experienced neck and head pain in the past month and were not taking pain medications. All subjects were in the experimental group. Facial exercise and self-massage for 20 minutes daily for 20 days were performed by the subjects following virtual instructions. Before and after the intervention, the intensity of neck and head pain was assessed using numeric pain intensity scale, the quality of life was assessed using neck disability index and headache disability index. Results. Neck pain decreased by 3.82 ± 2.63 points (p < 0.05), headache decreased by 2.82 ± 1.93 points (p < 0.05), neck functional disability decreased by 7.33 ± 4.57 points (p < 0.05), headache disability index values decreased by 15.57 ± 8.47 points (p < 0.05). Conclusion. After the application of virtual facial exercise and self-massage, women’s neck and head pain was reduced and the quality of life improved. Keywords: neck pain, headache, physiotherapy, massage, quality of life.

Background. Gonarthrosis is one of the most common diseases of the musculoskeletal system. As the disease progresses, the patient’s social and physical activities change. Reliable and effective therapies that slow the progression of gonarthrosis have not yet been found. There is a lack of evidence that a short course of physiotherapy and exercise-based treatment is effective or of how mobilization with movement and kinesio taping affects knee function and pain. We believe that in patients with knee gonarthrosis, the positive effects of physiotherapy combined with mobilization with movement and kinesio taping on knee functions and pain will be better than in those subjects who received only traditional physiotherapy. Aim. To determine the effect of mobilization with movement and kinesio taping on knee function parameters and pain in gonarthrosis. Methods. The study included 22 people diagnosed with gonarthrosis. For the experimental group (n=11), physiotherapy exercise, mobilization with movement and kinesiotape were applied, whereas the control group (n=11) used only physiotherapy exercise procedures. Subjects were evaluated for pain intensity, active knee range of motion, dynamic knee joint stability and evaluation of thigh muscle strength. Results. In the experimental group, there was a significant decrease in pain after 7 days and a significant difference with control group. Significant knee flexion results were recorded in the experimental group and significant knee extension results were recorded in the control group. In the experimental group, the dynamic knee joint stabilization significantly increased after 14 days. The strength of the thigh muscles was significantly increased in the experimental group after 14 days. Conclusion. The effect of mobilization with movement and kinesio taping of knee function, dynamic stability pain improving functional performance of dynamic stability was more significant than an exercise program lasting two weeks in subjects with knee gonarthrosis. Keywords: gonarthrosis, mobilization with movement, kinesio taping.

Background. Snowboarding is a quite popular winter sport, though associated with the risk of injury. Aim: to determine the relationship between sport injuries and static and dynamic balance in snowboard instructors. Methods. The study included snowboard instructors from Ontario, Canada. Questionnaires were given before and after the winter season to obtain injury history. Static balance was evaluated with a Wii Balance Board. Dynamic balance was evaluated using the Y balance test. The results were compared between different genders, age and days on-snow per season. Results. Male snowboard instructors had, on average, higher static balance scores than the females. Both male and female scores for testing with eyes closed were significantly lower than with eyes open. The female snowboard instructors had, on average, higher dynamic balance scores than the males. However, for eyes closed testing, female snowboarders’ scores were noticeably better than the males’ scores. Nine of out twenty snowboard instructors had sustained one or more injuries in the past snowboarding season. One female and one male sustained two injuries each, and in total there were ten injuries amongst twenty snowboarders. Conclusions. There was no significant difference between prevalence of injury and balance amongst different genders. Keyword: snowboarding, sports injuries, static balance, dynamic balance.

Background. Scoliosis affects spinal mobility and the respiratory system. The Schroth method is an effective tool for the treatment of scoliosis. However, there is insufficient evidence for the efficiency of kinesio taping with the Schroth method to help manage the condition of spinal mobility and respiratory system changes for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. The aim. To evaluate the efficacy of the Schroth method and the Schroth method in combination with kinesio taping for spinal mobility and functional changes in the respiratory system in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. The methods. The study included 8 adolescent volunteers diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis. The adolescents were divided into two groups. The Schroth method was used for the first group and the Schroth method with kinesiology taping for the second group. The study lasted 2 months, and both groups underwent 2 interventions per week. Both before and after the interventions, participants were assessed for trunk functional stability (Mathias test), lumbar and thoracic spine mobility (Schober and Otto tests), vital lung capacity (VC), and forced expiratory capacity in 1 s (FEV1). The results. In the analysed results of the interventions, it was found that the Mathias test, the Schober and Otto test, the VC and the FEV1 were improved in both groups. Comparing the results between the groups, it was established that the spinal mobility was better (p < 0,05) in the second group. However, lumbar and thoracic spinal mobility, VC, FEV1 were better (p<0,05) in the first group. The conclusion. The Schroth method with and without kinesiological taping increased trunk stability, spinal cord mobility, and VC and FEV1. The Schroth method with kinesio taping is more effective for trunk functional stability, however only the Schroth method is more effective with mobility of the lumbar and thoracic spine part as well as for VC and FEV1. Keywords: spinal cord mobility, trunk functional mobility, vital capacity.

Background. Swallowing disorders are becoming more common in an aging society, so it is important to understand and know the phases of swallowing, including the voluntary and involuntary aspects of the swallowing process, in order to be able to apply strategies to overcome swallowing disorders. Aim. To reveal the strategies in adult dysphagia treatment. Methods. Theoretical scientific research. This method enables to reveal and analyse the concept of swallowing disorders in the context of Lithuania and foreign countries, analyzes the variety of rehabilitation strategies applied to overcome swallowing disorders, and emphasizes the importance of complex dysphagia assessment and treatment. Adult dysphagia treatment strategies are compared and summarized. Results. The analysis of Lithuanian and foreign science research showed that complex strategies are most often applied for adult dysphagia treatment. Rehabilitative dysphagia treatment strategies are used to accelerate the recovery of swallowing function, and compensatory strategies are applied to ensure patient safety during eating. Conclusion. In each case, speech therapy differs depending on individual personal and external factors that affect swallowing disorder. Adult dysphagia treatment is usually complex in Lithuania: both rehabilitative and compensatory models are applied in dysphagia treatment. Keywords: swallowing disorders, dysphagia treatment strategies, rehabilitative dysphagia treatment strategies, compensatory dysphagia treatment strategies.

Background. More and more alternative treatments and therapies are emerging, so it is very important for professionals not only not to get lost in their abundance, but also to choose the right methods. Aim. To find out the attitude of occupational therapists and physiotherapists towards the evidence-based therapeutic methods in rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy. Methods. 73 rehabilitation specialists participated in this study, 30 of them were occupational therapists and 43 were physiotherapists and filled in the questionnaire. Respondents answered about the attitude and knowledge towards the evidence-based therapeutic methods in rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy. Results. 97.3% respondents answered that they use evidence-based practice methods in their work. The number of scientific articles read per month in the range from 0 to 5 articles was chosen by 71.2% respondents, from 6 and more articles – 28,8% respondents. The interface between the number of articles read per month by occupational therapists was directly and moderately strongly related to work experience (r=0.555; p=0.001). The education of occupational therapists and physiotherapists was weakly related to the frequency with which they used evidence-based methods in their work (r=0.374; p=0.042; r=0.476; p=0.001). Conclusions. The study revealed that rehabilitation specialists apply evidence-based practice methods in their work. It can be argued that the higher the level of education a rehabilitation specialist has, the more they value evidence-based practices and apply them in their work. Keywords: cerebral palsy, methods of children rehabilitation, evidence-based practise.

Background. Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) originating in Wuhan, China in December 2019 spread worldwide rapidly. To avoid direct contact, quarantine was implemented globally, which changed employees’ work habits, leading to longer sedentary times and increased complaints of neck, back and shoulder arch pain. Aim. To analyse the association of increased sitting time during quarantine with neck, back and shoulder arch pain. Methods. The survey involved 180 respondents, 136 women (76.0%) and 43 men (24.0%), who participated in a questionnaire survey conducted in social networks. The questionnaire consisted of closed-ended questions. Statistical analysis was performed using the Spearman correlation coefficient to determine the relationship between sitting time and neck, back, and shoulder arch pain. Results. It was found that the time spent at the computer or TV screen during the quarantine and before quarantine differed statistically significantly (p <0.005). Respondents (40.8%) indicated that they spent 1–2 hours in front of the TV or computer screen, before the quarantine, and during the quarantine most respondents (57.0%) stated that they spent more than 5 hours. More than half of the respondents (56.4%) said that their well-being had recently deteriorated. Prolonged sitting time was mentioned by the majority of respondents (63.2%) as the main cause of deteriorating health. Respondents rated their pain before quarantine at 3.25 ± 1.92 points and during quarantine at 5.84 ± 2.12 points. Conclusions. Respondents’ time spent at the computer or TV screens more than doubled during the pandemic, with the vast majority complaining of back, neck and shoulder pain. There was a direct relationship between back, shoulder arch and neck pain and sitting time. Keywords: pain, sitting time, quarantine, lack of physical activity.

Background. Due to the high physical and psychological demands of their work, musicians face a variety of musculoskeletal disorders that negatively affect both quality of life and musical performance. The main risk factor for these disorders is poor posture of the violinist. Targeted physiotherapy reduces muscle imbalance and pain, thus improving posture and quality of life. Studies have shown that remote physiotherapy may be effective in musculoskeletal disorders but is not commonly used. Thus, the effects of remote physiotherapy on neck pain, functional status, fatigue, and sleep quality in violinist are still unclear. Aim. To determine the effect of remote physiotherapy on neck pain, functional status, fatigue, and sleep quality in violinist. Methods. The study included 9 women professional violinists. Physiotherapy was applied for 6 weeks, 4 days a week. Pre and post intervention, the subjects were assessed for pain using the visual analogue scale, and the neck disability index, for sleep quality with the Pittsburgh sleep quality index, and for fatigue with the fatigue index. Results. There was a reduction in pain (p <0.001), physical fatigue (p = 0.004) and functional impairment (p = 0.013) after applying physiotherapy. Activity increased (p = 0.016) and sleep quality improved (p = 0.002) after intervention. Conclusion. Remotely-used physiotherapy reduced the pain and fatigue felt by professional violinists and improved functional status and sleep quality. Keywords: posture, telerehabilitation, quality of life, musicians
