Introduction: The game of rugby is becoming more and more popular, despite the fact that it is a collision sport in which skill plays a large role. In the training process, great importance is placed on the development of general physical fitness, in particular, on strength, power and muscular endurance.Aim: The aim of this study is to analyse the co-organisation between range of motion, body balance, power and speed of the kick and throw in men practicing rugby.Material and methods: The study involved 19 players training rugby on the Extraleague team of MKS Ogniwo Sopot, with an average age of 27.325.49. The Inbody 270 body composition analyser, the EPSR1 mat measuring the distribution of foot pressure on the ground, the WiVA sensor for measuring the range of motion and the Tendo Unit for measuring the explosive force were used to carry out testing.Results: The results indicate that people with a higher level of balance perform a throw with more power and speed. It was also shown that the range of motion in the upper limb is directly proportional to the range of motion in the hip joint.Conclusions: In the sport of rugby, flexion and extension movements of both the shoulder and hip joints are performed alternately. Based on the results, it can be concluded that in rugby athletes, balance training deserves special attention, which may translate into greater speed and power of the throw during a game. At the same time, an increase in the range of motion when flexing the arm and an increase in the pressure on the forefoot were noted, and the inversely proportional relationship between the COP area of the whole body and the heel area of the left foot may indicate the transfer of body mass by the tested players to the metatarsal and forefoot.

Introduction: According to the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology, the frailty syndrome is: "a multidimensional dynamic condition, independent of age, that renders a patient with heart failure vulnerable to stressors”. The Association recommends that all patients with heart failure should be routinely assessed for the risk of developing or suffering from frailty. This is due to the fact that frailty syndrome has an adverse effect on the prognosis, treatment options and quality of life of patients with heart failure. Factors that may determine the presence of frailty include: clinical factors (e.g. the presence of additional comorbidities), physical-functional, cognitive-psychological and social limitations. A number of scales are available to assess the frailty syndrome. To date, none have been validated in patients with heart failure. The Edmonton Frailty Scale (EFS) is a multidimensional scale that takes into account four factors identified as having a significant impact on the occurrence of frailty in heart failure. The physical factors included in the scale are functional capacity, assessed by the Timed Up and Go test (TUG), and functional independence, defined by a question about the degree of independence in performing selected activities of daily living.Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to assess the physical limitations included in the Edmonton Scale in a group of heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction.Materials and methods: The study included 106 patients diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF < 40%). The mean age of the patients was 62.6 9.7 years. Men comprised 84% of the study population. Frailty was measured using the EFS on the day before discharge or on the day of hospital discharge. Patients were assigned to one of the following groups on the basis of their Edmonton Score: non-frail, pre-frail and frail.Results: A predisposition to frailty was diagnosed in 44.3% of patients, while frailty was diagnosed in 12.3% of patients. Physical factors assessed by the EFS scale may significantly influence the diagnosis of pre-frail and frail (p < 0.0001). Among the components of functional independence, the activities that require special support for pre-frail and frail patients are: meal preparation, transportation and housekeeping. The results of the may significantly influence the diagnosis of frailty and susceptibility to frailty in patients with heart failure (p < 0.0001).Conclusions: Physical limitations assessed by the Edmonton Scale play an important role in the identification of pre-frailty and frailty in patients with heart failure. Pre-frail and frail patients report difficulties with activities of daily living, with housekeeping, transportation and meal preparation as being the most difficult in both groups. The result of the Timed Up and Go test may have a considerable impact on the diagnosis of frailty and susceptibility to frailty in patients with
导言:根据欧洲心脏病学会心力衰竭协会的定义，衰弱综合征是“一种多维动态状态，与年龄无关，使心力衰竭患者容易受到压力源的影响”。该协会建议，所有心力衰竭患者都应进行常规评估，以确定其发展或遭受虚弱的风险。这是由于衰弱综合征对心力衰竭患者的预后、治疗选择和生活质量有不利影响。可能决定虚弱存在的因素包括:临床因素(例如其他合并症的存在)、身体功能、认知心理和社会限制。有许多量表可用于评估虚弱综合症。到目前为止，还没有在心力衰竭患者中得到证实。埃德蒙顿虚弱量表(EFS)是一个多维度量表，它考虑了四个因素，这些因素被确定为对心力衰竭中虚弱的发生有重大影响。量表中包含的身体因素包括功能能力，通过定时向上和向前测试(TUG)来评估，以及功能独立性，通过一个关于在日常生活中执行选定活动的独立程度的问题来定义。研究目的:本研究的目的是评估埃德蒙顿量表中包括的一组射血分数降低的心力衰竭患者的身体限制。材料和方法:研究纳入106例诊断为心力衰竭伴射血分数降低(HFrEF <40%)。患者平均年龄为62.6 - 9.7岁。男性占研究人群的84%。在出院前一天或出院当天使用EFS测量虚弱程度。根据埃德蒙顿评分，患者被分为以下三组:非虚弱、体弱前期和体弱。结果:44.3%的患者易患虚弱，12.3%的患者易患虚弱。EFS量表评估的物理因素可能显著影响虚弱前期和虚弱的诊断(p <0.0001)。在功能独立的组成部分中，对体弱前期和体弱患者需要特殊支持的活动包括:准备膳食、交通和家务。结果可能显著影响心力衰竭患者的虚弱诊断和对虚弱的易感性(p <0.0001)。结论:埃德蒙顿量表评估的身体限制在识别心力衰竭患者的虚弱前期和虚弱方面具有重要作用。体弱前期和体弱患者报告日常生活活动困难，家务、交通和膳食准备是这两组患者中最困难的。Timed Up and Go测试的结果可能对心力衰竭患者的虚弱和易感性的诊断有相当大的影响。

Introduction: Anthropometric measures (AM) are valuable and cost-effective means that could be beneficial in multiple aspects. Normative value for Egyptians AM could be used in many disciplines.Objectives: The study aim was to establish normative values for the anthropometric profile of the Adult Egyptian populations and to compare values obtained for males and females.Material and methods: This study includes 1,916 adult ( ≥ 18 years of age) Egyptians of both male (n = 1,003) and female (n = 913) gender. The sample was recruited in a way to represent different geographical areas of Egypt. Thirty-four anthropometric measures were assessed in a standardised manner using easily accessible measuring tools (rubber tape, plastic-made skinfold caliper).Results: Males represented 52.3%, while females comprised 47.7% of the sample. The mean SD, range, maximum and minimum values of all outcome measures were provided. All anthropometric measures demonstrated statistically significant differences between both genders (p < 0.05) except for proximal thigh (p = 0.896) and ankle circumference (p = 0.441), biceps (p = 0.692) and subscapular (p = 0.951) skinfold thickness (SFT).Conclusion: A new reference for normative anthropometric data is presented. Males and females differ in their anthropometric characteristics, thus, these variations should be considered in any future ergonomic-based designs.

Introduction: COVID-19 results in numerous complications, mainly cardiac and pulmonary ones. Post-treatment physiotherapy is crucial in patients with its moderate and critical infection course.Study aim: Assessment of the results regarding complex rehabilitation in post-COVD patients.Material and methods: The study group constituted 15 participants (9 males and 6 females) who recovered from COVID-19. Their mean age was 52.75 years 8.13 years. All participants attended complex rehabilitation programmes, including: cycle ergometer training, respiratory and coughing exercises 3 times per week. The 6-Minute Walk Test was used to assess the pre- and post-treatment status of participants. The Modified Medical Research Council dyspnoea scale was applied to determine the dyspnoea-mediated disability before and after the treatment.Results: The 6-minute walking distance did not rise significantly in males or females. No significant changes were noted for blood pressure, heart rate or saturation between measurements. Dyspnoea-mediated disability level decreased in males (1.66 1.12 points vs. 0.11 0.33 points; p = 0.001).Conclusions: Complex physiotherapy in post-COVID-19 males improves dyspnoea-mediated disability. In males and females who recovered from COVID-19, complex physiotherapy leads to an increase in physical capacity as well normalisation of blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation.

Introduction: The scapula is recognised as a key element of the proper functioning in the shoulder complex. Scapular movement abnormalities have been defined as scapular dyskinesis. It is treated as a dysfunction that increases the risk of shoulder pain. Various diagnostic and therapeutic methods have been introduced into clinical practice, the purpose of which are to assess the function of the scapula and restore normal movement patterns. The current state of knowledge does not allow to clearly answer the question as to whether the available tools applied for assessing the mobility and functions of the scapula are reliable and useful in clinical practice during diagnosis within the shoulder complex.

Introduction: Overweightness and obesity are a very worrying and growing health problem. Medical science is increasingly looking for effective ways to combat the effects of the disease, not only at the level of physical health, but also in other dimensions of human health, such as mental health and social function. A promising form of therapy in this area is vibration therapy.Research objectives: The aim of the work was to evaluate the influence of whole-body vibrotherapy on selected parameters of body composition and subjectively perceived quality of life in young women.Materials and methods: The research was a pilot study. The study involved 22 women. Before and after 30 minutes of daily vibrotherapeutic treatment for a period of 4 weeks, body composition was measured with the Tanita analyser, which uses innovative electric bioimpedance technology (BIA). In addition, the participants completed the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire on quality of life assessment before and after a series of vibrotherapy sessions.Results: After a series of systemic vibrotherapies, lower average body mass index, fat %, fat mass, BMI, VFR, FFM and BMR values of the women studied were achieved than before the series. The decrease in indicators was shown to be associated with vibrotherapy, as the study group included healthy, untrained and non-dietary women. Of particular significance is the decrease in BMI and VFR, which was important in view of the short investigation period. The TBW and TBW rates increased slightly, which can also be classified as positive effects of the therapy. The subjective assessment of quality of life was not significantly changed in the study group, apart from the area of well-being, which showed a slight improvement in 54% (12 women in the 22-person group).Conclusion: Oscillatory-cycloidal vibrotherapy can be an effective tool to normalise the level of body composition parameters and to combat obesity. The positive effect of vibrotherapy on subjectively perceived quality of life among the subjects is also indicated.

Medical science is increasingly looking for effective ways to combat the effects of the disease, not only at the level of physical health, but also in other dimensions of human health, such as mental health and social function. A promising form of therapy in this area is vibration therapy.Research objectives: The aim of the work was to evaluate the influence of whole-body vibrotherapy on selected parameters of body composition and subjectively perceived quality of life in young women.Materials and methods: The research was a pilot study. The study involved 22 women. Before and after 30 minutes of daily vibrotherapeutic treatment for a period of 4 weeks, body composition was measured with the Tanita analyser, which uses innovative electric bioimpedance technology (BIA). In addition, the participants completed the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire on quality of life assessment before and after a series of vibrotherapy sessions.Results: After a series of systemic vibrotherapies, lower average body mass index, fat %, fat mass, BMI, VFR, FFM and BMR values of the women studied were achieved than before the series. The decrease in indicators was shown to be associated with vibrotherapy, as the study group included healthy, untrained and non-dietary women. Of particular significance is the decrease in BMI and VFR, which was important in view of the short investigation period. The TBW and TBW rates increased slightly, which can also be classified as positive effects of the therapy. The subjective assessment of quality of life was not significantly changed in the study group, apart from the area of well-being, which showed a slight improvement in 54% (12 women in the 22-person group).Conclusion: Oscillatory-cycloidal vibrotherapy can be an effective tool to normalise the level of body composition parameters and to combat obesity. The positive effect of vibrotherapy on subjectively perceived quality of life among the subjects is also indicated.","PeriodicalId":35329,"journal":{"name":"Rehabilitacja Medyczna","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42412468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduction and Objectives: We report a non-invasive and innovative treatment method with blood flow restricted training (BFR) in a 62-year-old man with short-distance claudication of the right calf (Rutherford 3), and post-thrombotic deep vein syndrome of the same limb. This is the first described case of BFR training used in the rehabilitation of a patient with lower limb ischaemia.Material and Methods: The patient, undertaking frequent physical activity, a previous cigarette smoker, with a history of deep vein thrombosis, was diagnosed with occlusion of the popliteal and anterior tibial arteries causing intermittent, short-distance claudication. An invasive approach was not possible, as the patient refused any vascular surgery interventions, open or endovascular. Due to recently diagnosed hip joint degeneration, accompanied by degeneration and dyscopathy of the lumbosacral vertebral column, regular supervised walking training could not be implemented. Experimental blood flow restricted low-intensity training, with the use of a cross-trainer tool accompanied by cooling, was introduced. The 21-minute training, 3 times per week for 3 months, was performed in a seated position with a special low-pressure cuff placed on the arms and legs.Results: The patients limb symptoms were promptly reduced and the vascular parameters significantly improved, allowing surgical treatment of the right hip joint. The patient continued the non-invasive treatment for peripheral arterial disease in the form of walking training.Conclusions: Blood flow restriction training may be individually considered for patients with peripheral arterial disease having limited possibilities of classic walking training and revascularization, but this should be done with great caution and after detailed consultation with a vascular medicine specialist.

Objective: The gait process after lower limb amputation in a prosthesis is far from the original previously learned gait. In this paper, we present a simple method of observing and recording gait parameters. The proposed method was distinguished by the fact that gait measurement systems were permanently integrated into the prosthesis. The prosthesis became the measuring system in the study. Analysis of the parameters recorded in this way allows to unequivocally show the difference between correct gait and incorrectly realised gait in a lower limb prosthesis with high precision.Aim: The main objective of the study was to show the hallmarks of the gait process in amputees using a lower limb prosthesis (after the rehabilitation process and secondary learning of gait in a prosthesis) compared to the hallmarks of the gait process of a pre-amputee.Methods: Two people participated in the pilot study. One of them was scheduled for amputation surgery. The individual was selected using double-blind sampling from a patient base of 200 people, with Buerger's disease diagnosed at baseline. The second person underwent right lower limb amputation of the proximal third of the lower leg with a medium stump. The etiology of this amputation was Buerger's disease with necrosis of the foot with arterial congestion.Results: The results obtained in the pilot study showed that recording the loading pattern in the heel and forefoot is sufficient for unambiguous gait assessment. The obtained data allow the introduction of corrective measures in the positioning of the prosthesis, adapting it to the patient's anatomical gait style.Conclusion: The results of the study demonstrated that the analysis of foot movement can determine degree of gait correctness, and Dega's IV gait index as well as J.B. Saunders index can be the basis for evaluating gait correctness.
