Research justifcation. Physical and mental fatigue and emotional exhaustion experienced by night nurses are key factors affecting their health and quality of life. Sleeplessness not only increases the risk of various diseases, but also leads to an exacerbation of chronic diseases. The goal of research was to analyse the health-related quality of life of nurses working night shifts. The methods of research. Sixty night shift nurses were investigated. The 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) was used in the work. Statistical data was processed by using Microsoft Excel 2007 Spreadsheet and SPSS 17 for Windows. The survey was done in accordance with ethical principles. The results of research. Night nurses who used sleeping pills had low physical activity level; their duties were seriously restricted due to physical and emotional problems or physical pain. Moreover, they performed a lower social function and had worse health assessment in comparison with nurses who never or hardly ever took sedatives. The quality of life of night shift nurses was directly related to physical and psycho-emotional health. Physical activity was much better assessed by younger nurses than older ones, especially when comparing the 50–59-year-old nurses with other age groups; 30–39-year-old nurses were less restricted by pain; general health was evaluated better by 30–39-year-old nurses than the older ones. While evaluating the quality of life related to mental health, the radical difference was noticed in social function assessment based on the age of nurses, i.e. 30–39-year-old nurses assessed the social function better than the older ones. Conclusion. Physical and psycho-emotional health influences the quality of life of night shift nurses.Keywords: the quality of life, psycho-emotional health, physical health, sleep disorders, nursing.
研究公正性。夜班护士的身心疲劳和情绪衰竭是影响其健康和生活质量的关键因素。失眠不仅会增加患各种疾病的风险，还会导致慢性病的恶化。研究的目的是分析夜班护士与健康相关的生活质量。研究方法。调查了60名夜班护士。工作中使用了36项简式问卷（SF-36）。统计数据采用Microsoft Excel 2007电子表格和SPSS 17 for Windows进行处理。这项调查是根据伦理原则进行的。研究结果。使用安眠药的夜班护士体力活动水平较低；由于身体和情绪问题或身体疼痛，他们的职责受到严重限制。此外，与从未或几乎从未服用镇静剂的护士相比，他们的社会功能较低，健康评估也较差。夜班护士的生活质量直接关系到其身心健康。年轻护士比年长护士对体育活动的评估要好得多，尤其是在将50-59岁的护士与其他年龄组进行比较时；30-39岁的护士较少受到疼痛的限制；30-39岁的护士比年长的护士对总体健康状况的评估更好。在评估与心理健康相关的生活质量时，注意到基于护士年龄的社会功能评估存在根本差异，即30-39岁的护士比年长的护士更好地评估社会功能。结论身体和心理情绪健康影响夜班护士的生活质量。关键词：生活质量，心理情绪健康，身体健康，睡眠障碍，护理。

Background. In 1996, meta-analysis of studies was performed and it showed the connections between head posture changes and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunctions (Harrison et al., 1996), but the abnormalities of the mandibular usually were treated as the only pathology leading to poor clinical effect (Lee et al., 2017). Supposedly, occlusion problems are related not only to the position of the jaw and skull, but also to the shoulder and spine, which act as a biomechanical chain (Moreno, Aranza, 2013; Shousha et al., 2018). There is a lack of evidence how head posture correction changes stomatognathic system functions, that is why our study aimed to determine if a short-term head posture correction affects the system. Research aim. Determine the effect of short-term forward head posture correction for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function. Research methods. Evaluation of posture, TMJ range of motion, jaw opening stereotype. Research results. After a short-term head posture correction, head inclination angle alteration was as follows: ScapularR = 5.65°, ScapularL = 3.9°. Jaw opening alteration was ScapularR 15.09 mm, ScapularL 15.58 mm. The difference between mandibular deviations decreased to ScapularR 0.32 mm; ScapularL 1.60 mm. Deviation during jaw opening reduced ScapularR 2.06 mm; ScapularL 2.38 mm. Conclusion. Short-term head posture correction signifcantly reduced head inclination angle, mandibular opening movement amplitude and deviation from the centre line in individuals with upper cross syndrome and asymmetric scapular position.Keywords: temporomandibular joint, head posture, upper cross syndrome.
背景。1996年，对研究进行了meta分析，发现头部姿势改变与颞下颌关节(TMJ)功能障碍之间存在联系(Harrison et al.， 1996)，但下颌异常通常被视为唯一导致临床效果不佳的病理(Lee et al.， 2017)。据推测，咬合问题不仅与颌骨和颅骨的位置有关，还与肩关节和脊柱有关，肩关节和脊柱作为生物力学链(Moreno, Aranza, 2013;寿沙等人，2018)。目前尚缺乏头部姿势矫正如何改变口颌系统功能的证据，这就是为什么我们的研究旨在确定短期头部姿势矫正是否会影响该系统。研究的目标。确定短期头向前姿势矫正对颞下颌关节功能的影响。研究方法。评估姿势，颞下颌关节活动范围，下颌开口刻板印象。研究的结果。短期头部姿势矫正后，头部倾角改变如下:ScapularR = 5.65°，ScapularL = 3.9°。下颌开度改变为肩胛骨r 15.09 mm，肩胛骨l 15.58 mm。下颌骨偏差差减小至肩胛骨偏差差0.32 mm;肩胛骨1.60毫米。开颚时偏差使肩胛骨复位2.06 mm;肩胛骨2.38毫米。结论。短期头位矫正可显著降低上交叉综合征和肩胛骨位置不对称患者的头倾角、下颌开口运动幅度和偏离中心线。关键词:颞下颌关节，头位，上交叉综合征。

Background. Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity, mortality and long-term disability worldwide. In terms of innovative technologies which help to recover from stroke one of the newest and least researched methods is physiotherapy in the water assisted by dolphins. Such an innovative case study was conducted in Lithuania. A great variety of scientifc literature on animal assisted therapies and interventions can be found worldwide, however, concerning research on human-animal interaction mechanisms a scientifc gap is still existing as presented in various journals of different felds (Beetz et al., 2012). The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of healing exercises in the water assisted by dolphins for motor skills of patients with haemorrhagic stroke. Methods. The study was carried out at the Dolphin Therapy Centre of the Lithuanian Sea Museum. The study lasted two weeks. The sample was a man diagnosed with a haemorrhagic stroke. The research data was collected on motor skills in the water, leg muscle strength, coordination, balance and gait. The patient participated in ten therapeutic activities in the water, assisted by dolphins (length of one activity – 30 minutes). The physiotherapist working with the patient applied balance and coordination exercises in the water. The status of the patient was evaluated four times: before activities with dolphins, after fve activities with dolphins, after ten activities with dolphins, and follow up in three weeks after ending the activities with dolphins. Results. The muscle strength of legs increased signifcantly in the foot group and slightly in the lower limb muscle group. The greatest result in balance was registered after ten therapeutic activities with dolphins in the water. The greatest improvement in coordination and walking occurred later. Assessing motor skills in the water, a signifcant positive change in equilibrium was observed. Conclusions. The results of the study showed that physiotherapy exercises in the water assisted by dolphins might help to achieve improvements in motor skills.Keywords: haemorrhagic stroke, motor skills in the water, balance, gait, therapeutic activities for assisting dolphins, physiotherapy in water.

Research background. During the rapid development of science and technology in the world, number of people suffering from pain in the neck-shoulder complex is increasing. Musculoskeletal disorders are influenced by non-ergonomic adaptation of the workplace, rapid decline in physical activity and other factors. The research aim was to evaluate the effect of stretching and strengthening exercises on work related neck/shoulder pain, muscle strength, range of motion in female blue-collar workers. Methods. The study involved 16 participants with neck-shoulders complex pain. The women were aged between 35–55 years. Participants rated their worst neck-shoulder pain during the previous week on a numerical rating scale from 0 to 10. Participants’ active range of motion of neck and humerus movements were measured with a goniometer, latent trigger point pain thresholds was measured with an algometer and muscle strength of upper trapezius, scalenus and sternocleidomastoideus muscles was evaluated with a dynamometer. The frst group (stretching exercise group) consisted of 9 participants, the second group (strengthening exercise group) – of 7 participants. Results. After 5 weeks stretching and strengthening exercise programs, the changes were statistically signifcant in both groups. Comparing pain intensity and muscle strength between groups, statistically signifcant changes were found in muscle strengthening group. Statistically signifcant latent trigger point pain threshold and range of motion changes were found in both groups (p < 0.05). Before the study, differences were found between the groups that could have had an effect on the results. Conclusion. Muscle strengthening exercises are more effective for blue – collar workers reducing muscular pain, increasing muscle strength and functional ability. Muscle strengthening exercise had a greater influence of pain intensity and muscle strength then stretching exercises.Keywords: neck-shoulder pain, stretching exercise, strengthening exercise.

Research background. Musculoskeletal pain in the shoulder joint is a major cause of non-traumatic upper limb pain (Tejera-Falcón et al., 2017). Miofascial release is a fast-moving form of manual therapy to reduce pain and restore soft tissue functions. Chronic pain relief in the movement apparatus is a major burden on health care systems and state economics due to the deteriorating quality of life of people experiencing these problems (Laimi et al., 2018). Research aim was to determine the effect of different myofascial trigger release techniques on pain, function and quality of life in patients after surgical treatment of rotator cuff. Methods. The study included volunteers (n = 14) who met the selection criteria. Research methods included a VAS pain scale, active range of motion, isometric muscle strength and subjective assessment of functional changes (PSFS) and quality of life (SF-36). Results. After 14 days of physiotherapy exercises involving the release of myofascial trigger points, the intensity of pain decreased signifcantly from 5.6 ± 1.4 points to 1.8 ± 1.5 points (p < 0.05). After treatment of the range of motion, isometric muscle strength signifcantly increased (p < 0.05). The treatment used had a positive effect on subjective functional changes (before 3.1 ± 0.8 points, followed by 7.8 ± 1.4 points, p < 0.05) and quality of life. Conclusion. The use of different myofascial trigger release techniques is effective in reducing myofascial trigger pain, improving function and quality of life in patients after surgical treatment of rotator cuffs. However, there were no statistically signifcant differences between the groups after treatment.Keywords: myofascial pain syndrome, myofascial trigger point, ischemic compression, soft tissue mobilization.

Research background. Chronic nonspecifc low back pain is one of the most widespread health problems in modern society. Massage together with oils is commonly used for low back pain. However, no studies are available on the effect of classical massage with different oils on functional state and pain in patients with chronic low back pain. The aim of this research was to determine the effects of classical massage with different oils on patients with chronic nonspecifc low back pain. Methods. This study included 14 women. They were randomly assigned into two groups. The experimental group received classical massage using oil of natural components and the control group received massage with Vaseline oil. All participants received seven massage sessions, one session lasted 20 min. Pain intensity (VAS scale), functional disability level (Oswestry Low Back Disability Questionnaire) and measurement of spine flexion range of motion (Modifed Shober test) were evaluated before and after intervention. Results. Both groups showed signifcant improvements in pain intensity (p < 0.05). Massage with oil of natural components was more effective then massage with Vaseline oil in reducing pain (p < 0.05). Functional disability decreased in both groups (p < 0.05), but no signifcant difference was found between groups. The range of motion changes were not signifcant after intervention in two groups. Conclusions. Classical massage with oil of natural components and classical massage with Vaseline oil were found to be effective in relieving pain and decreasing functional disability in patients with chronic low back pain. Massage with oil of natural components was more effective than massage with Vaseline oil in reducing pain.Keywords: chronic nonspecifc low back pain, classical massage, oil.

Background. Core stability (or core strengthening) has become a well-known fitness trend that has started transcending into sports medicine. It has become a common practice to incorporate balance tasks into the training program for athletes who want to improve performance and prevent injuries. Hypothesis. We suggest that core stabilization and balance training with closed eyes will be more effective than training with open eyes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of core stabilization training with open eyes versus closed eyes on balance and stability of young football players. Methods. Fourteen healthy young football players aged 10–12 years were assessed for pre and post core stabilization training using two balance tests: Stork Balance Test (SBT) and Modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT), and one test for core stability ‒ McGill Core Stability Test (MCST). The intervention included twelve twenty-minute training sessions each of them involved six core strengthening exercises. One group performed exercises with open eyes, and another with eyes closed. Results. Core stability exercises with eyes closed as well as the same exercise done with eyes open insignificantly improved dynamic balance and core stability, but significantly improved the static balance of the subjects. Conclusion. After applying training with closed eyes as well as eyes open, core stability and balance of young football players increased insignificantly. There were no significant differences in core stability and balance training between training with eyes open and eyes closed.Keywords: core stabilization training, balance, open eyes, closed eyes.

Research background. The existing evidence supports the effectiveness of Tai Chi for persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) in various domains including depression, coordination, balance, and fatigue. However, we are not aware of any previous studies of the effects of Tai Chi on cognition and motor skill learning in persons with MS. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Tai Chi on cognitive functions and motor learning in persons with multiple sclerosis. Methods. The study included 16 participants with MS. They were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 8) and control (n = 8) groups. The intervention consisted of a 60-min Tai Chi exercise program twice a week, for 8 weeks, while the control group was instructed to maintain their routine daily activities. Cognitive functions and learning of accurate movements were evaluated before and after the 8 weeks in each group. Results. Tai Chi exercise program improved (p < 0.05) working memory and attention switching, whereas no changes were observed in short-term memory and attention stability in persons with multiple sclerosis. Furthermore, Tai Chi facilitated (p < 0.05) motor learning when compared with the control group. Conclusions. Tai Chi can be used as an effective intervention to improve cognitive functions, such as working memory and predictable attention switching, and motor skill learning in persons with multiple sclerosis. Keywords: working memory, attention switching, meditation, motor skills.Keywords: working memory, attention switching, meditation, motor skills.

Background. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an incurable disease which affects the human body and day to day activities. Diffcultly completing daily tasks is the main problem associated with rheumatoid arthritis. This chronic disease causes a large number of restrictions when dealing with daily life. Restrictions can be simple as having diffculty with basic activities such as looking after themselves and their homes, and too diffcult in more advanced tasks which require greater effort. These restrictions not only affect the ability of the individual to complete daily tasks but can also have a negative impact on the individual’s emotional and social relationships and their overall quality of life. The aim – describe everyday life experiences of women with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods. A qualitative study was carried out where 3 women who suffered with rheumatoid arthritis were interviewed. The average duration of the disease was 15 years and the average age of women interviewed was 56 years. The interview consisted of 7 questions, including how independent women were in conducting daily activities when they had the disease. The study was carried out in February– April, 2017. Each woman was interviewed individually and the conversation was recorded with a Dictaphone and the conversation was then transcribed. Data were analysed applying the method of content analysis. All the data was then analysed and later sorted in subcategories, which were then grouped into larger categories. The interview period lasted from 30 minutes up to 1 hour. Results. The results revealed that women had problems with the symptoms of illness in their daily lives such as dealing with self-care, clothing, food and work. Conclusions. 1) Women with rheumatoid arthritis had changes in daily activities in the following areas: personal hygiene, dressing and undressing, preparing food, having problems showering, the pain they had in the shoulder did not allow them to complete daily activities as desired. 2) As the conditions of the joints worsen, everyday activities become more painful, performed slower and require greater effort, it becomes diffcult to grab and hold small objects. 3) Activities performed by individuals with rheumatoid arthritis are decreased due to the presence of symptoms, but women took measures to complete these activities easier.Keywords: rheumatoid arthritis, independence, life experiences, daily activities, occupational therapy.
