Introduction: Traumatic injuries to the ankle and subtalar joints constitute severe damage to the locomotor system, both structural and functional. They most often occur in the form of ankle fractures and sprains of the ankle joint, and the least common are peritalar dislocations. Study aim: The aim of the study was to answer the following research questions: 1. What are the most common causes of traumatic injuries to the ankle and subtalar joints, and what are the most common causes of these injures?; 2. What diagnostic methods of traumatic injuries to the ankle and subtalar joints in the analysed period of clinical observation dominated in their imaging?; 3. What are the recommended treatments for traumatic injures of the ankle and subtalar joints? Materials and methods: The aim of the study was carried out on the basis of analysing publications and conference presentations regarding traumatic injuries by employees of the Department of Trauma Surgery and Orthopaedics, the 5th Military Clinic Hospital with Polyclinic, Independent Public Healthcare Centre in Kraków, covering the years from 1992 to 2017. The research methodology, on the other hand, was based on analysis of the content concerning thematically compatible publications and scientific studies with the adopted objectives of the work and established research questions. In the study, 2 thematic monographs (books) were also included, which were published by Państwowy Zakład Wydawnictw Lekarskich (PZWL) [Eng. National Institute of Medical Publishing] in 2020 and 2021 by a retired clinic employee. They are partly based on its clinical material from 1992 to 2017. Results: In the analysed period, 58 of the identified scientific studies were thematically consistent with the adopted research objectives and established research questions. Those were 20 original creative papers (34.5%), 3 review papers (5.2%), 4 case studies (6.9%), 1 postdoctoral dissertation (1.7%), 4 doctoral dissertations (6.9%) and 1 (1.7%) thematic monograph (book), 11 (18.9%) chapters in thematic monographs (book) and 14 (24.2%) conference and convention presentations. Conclusions: 1. The most common causes of traumatic injuries to the ankle and subtalar joints are so-called sports-related injuries or those caused by traffic accidents as well as falls on a hard surface at the same level, especially in people with bone tissue demineralisation disorders. Most often, they are in the form of ankle fractures, and the least common are peritalar dislocations. 2. Clinical diagnosis of traumatic injuries to the ankle and subtalar joints requires manual tests regarding their stability, and imaging examinations are based primarily on ultrasound, MRA and MRI. With regard to post-traumatic instability of the ankle joint, these diagnostics require radiological examination in forced positions. 3. Fractures of the ankle-shin joint require surgical treatment based on the open reposition of bone fragments and their effective stabilisatio
引言:踝关节和距下关节的创伤对运动系统的结构和功能都造成了严重损害。它们最常见的形式是脚踝骨折和踝关节扭伤,最不常见的是翼周脱位。研究目的:本研究旨在回答以下研究问题:1。踝关节和距下关节创伤最常见的原因是什么?这些损伤最常见的病因是什么?;2.在临床观察的分析期内,踝关节和距下关节创伤的影像学诊断方法占主导地位?;3.对于踝关节和距下关节的创伤性损伤,推荐的治疗方法是什么?材料和方法:本研究的目的是在分析1992年至2017年克拉科夫独立公共医疗中心第五军事诊所医院创伤外科和骨科员工关于创伤的出版物和会议报告的基础上进行的。另一方面,研究方法是基于对主题兼容的出版物和科学研究内容的分析,这些内容与所通过的工作目标和既定的研究问题相一致。在这项研究中,还包括2本专题专著(书籍),由Państwowy Zakład Wydawnictw Lekarskich(PZWL)[英国国家医学出版研究所]于2020年和2021年由一名退休诊所员工出版。它们部分基于1992年至2017年的临床材料。结果:在分析期间,58项已确定的科学研究在主题上与所采用的研究目标和既定的研究问题一致。其中包括20篇原创论文(34.5%)、3篇综述论文(5.2%)、4篇案例研究(6.9%)、1篇博士后论文(1.7%)、4份博士学位论文(6.9%)和1篇专题专著(1.7%),11章专题专著(18.9%)和14篇会议和大会报告(24.2%)。结论:1。脚踝和距下关节创伤性损伤最常见的原因是所谓的运动相关损伤,或由交通事故以及摔倒在同一水平的坚硬表面上引起的损伤,尤其是在患有骨组织矿化障碍的人中。最常见的是踝关节骨折,最不常见的是翼周脱位。2.踝关节和距下关节创伤性损伤的临床诊断需要对其稳定性进行手动测试,影像学检查主要基于超声、MRA和MRI。关于踝关节创伤后不稳定,这些诊断需要在强迫体位下进行放射学检查。3.踝-胫关节骨折需要根据骨碎片的开放复位及其有效稳定以及胫腓联合的固定进行手术治疗。另一方面,翼周脱位可以非手术治疗,而选定类型的损伤可以手术治疗。对所述创伤治疗的必要补充是持续实施和个性化的物理治疗方案。

Introduction: The aim of the study is to assess the impact of physiotherapy containing elements of osteopathy on the change of pain level of the lumbar spine of patients in comparison to traditional management using orthopedic manual therapy combined with biofeedback. Material and methods: The study included 60 people qualified for outpatient rehabilitation. Patients were divided into two groups (research and control) consisting of 30 people. The mean age of patients was 52.75 ± 11.58 years. Patients were examined before and after the implementation of the rehabilitation process, pain scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index were used for the study. Rehabilitation lasted every day for four weeks. The control group used orthopedic manual therapy combined with biofeedback, while the research group used a series of treatments based on osteopathy techniques. In addition, both groups of patients underwent a standard physical therapy program. Results: The study showed the effectiveness of manual therapy combined with biofeedback and osteopathic therapy in patients with lumbar spine pain syndrome. A decrease in pain was noted in patients of both groups, however a greater decrease was noted in the research group. In the assessment using the Oswestry Disability Index, a comparable level of quality of life was noted in both treatment groups. Conclusions: The introduced therapeutic programs show an improvement both in terms of reducing pain and improving functioning in everyday life, however, the rehabilitation process based on osteopathic techniques is more effective in reducing pain.

Introduction: The basic functional assessment, on the basis of which rehabilitation programming is carried out in a patient after a stroke, consists in examining the efficiency of the upper and lower limbs, balance and i.a. muscle tension. Therefore, it is important to identify and understand the relationships between these basic data in order to make conclusions easier and to set good goals in rehabilitation. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the relation between the assessment of the motor efficiency of the lower limb, measured Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale (FMA) and the balance, measured Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and between the FMA and the assessment of muscle tone, measured modified Ashworth scale in chronic-phase patients after an ischemic stroke before and after a 6-week rehabilitation process. Material and methods: The study group consisted of 37 patients after stroke (post-stroke duration > 1 year). All patients were subjected to a double functional assessment. Main measures: motor function in the lower limb, balance and spasticity in the lower limb. Spearman correlation coefficients was used to identify and analyze the relationship between the FMA and BBS as an assessment of the increased muscle tone. Results: There was a highly significant p <0.0001 positive correlation between the FMA and BBS tests: first period r = 0.6120, second period r = 0.6604. There was a highly significant (p <0.0001) negative correlation between the assessment of FMA test and the muscle tone: first period r = -0.6814, second period r = -0.6532. Conclusions: People in chronic phase after an ischemic stroke have a high positive correlation between the motor efficiency of the lower limb and balance. This study shows also a high, negative correlation between the motor efficiency of the lower limb, and the muscle tone of this limb. Both before and after rehabilitation process.

Introduction: Shoulder girdle as highly specialized set of structures is particularly susceptible to overloading and injuries. In current literature USG and MRI results shows poor correlation with the function, which lead to some problems in correct diagnosis. The structure contributing to this issue might be fascia. One of the methods examination and treatment is very poorly known Fascial Distortion Model. The aim of our research was to assess the impact of the Fascial Distortion Model on shoulder girdle dysfunction. Materials and methods: The subject of research were 78 patients with shoulder dysfunction. Experimental group of 50 patients underwent six 30-minutes FDM treatments, performed every second day. The control group of 28 patients were subjected standard physiotherapy. Measurement of mobility and pain was done by: functional tests, DASH questionnaire, modified CONSTANT scale and VAS scale. Results: The experimental group obtained better results than control group. This was due to less pain (M = 0.56, SD = 1.03) vs (M = 6.71, SD = 1.88) and a greater limb function (M = 3.46, SD = 7.80) vs (M = 42.72, SD = 16.52). Participants treated with FDM improved in ROM, DASH score and VAS at the significance level (p = .000). Conclusions: 1. Fascial distortions may contribute to dysfunction of the shoulder complex. 2. Connective tissue problems can limit the range of movement 3. Fascia disorders may contribute pain.

Introduction: Whole-body cryotherapy and winter swimming are applied to induce physiological, organ-related, and systemic defence responses that are beneficial and effective in maintaining or restoring human body homeostasis. Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate blood morphological and biochemical indicators in men and women exposed to whole-body cryotherapy and winter swimming. Material and methods: From all participants (n=70) before starting 20 whole-body cryotherapy sessions and after completing the 20 whole-body cryotherapy sessions (woman n=15, men n=15), at the beginning of the winter swimming season (November) and at the end of the winter swimming season (April) (woman n=15, men n=15), and in the control group (woman n=10, men n=10), fasting blood samples were collected from an ulnar vein into vacuum tubes. Blood morphological and biochemical indicators and brown adipose tissue were determined in the Blood Physiology Department of the Central Research and Development Laboratory at the University of Physical Education in Krakow and in the Department of Analytics and Clinical Biochemistry of the Krakow Branch of Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology. Results: In both sexes included in the study, both whole-body cryotherapy and winter swimming induce changes in selected peripheral blood morphological and biochemical indicators, mainly in the blood count, proteinogram, and chloride concentrations. The increase in the brown adipose tissue-released fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) under the influence of whole-body cryotherapy occurs in females. In contrast, no statistically significant changes were found for Nrg4. Both whole-body cryotherapy and winter swimming result in decreased values of red blood cells, haemoglobin, and iron, with sex-dependent variation. Conclusions: Cold in the form of systemic cryotherapy, similarly to winter baths, affects changes in blood morphological and biochemical parameters, while the release of FGF21 in brown adipose tissue was noted only after systemic cryotherapy.

Introduction: Word-finding impairments (anomia) are the most common specific symptom of aphasia, which in adults are caused most often by stroke. Although anomic difficulties usually manifest themselves in different forms of speech and involve different word classes, in very rare cases they may involve only one category of words. This type of disorder is called category-specific anomia. Objective: The purpose of the article is to describe the changes in verbal communication in a patient with post-stroke aphasia, including in particular the analysis of the category-specific anomia for number, recognized in him in the long period from the onset of the disease. Material and methods: The patient's language skills were assessed at 2nd week, 3rd month (period of spontaneous recovery and early neurorehabilitation), and 12 months post stroke (distant neurorehabilitation period) using the Boston Test for the Diagnosis of Aphasia and clinical trials to assess different cognitive dysfunctions that can affect ability to name numbers. Results: The results of the conducted studies allowed to find in the patient in sequence: profound mixed aphasia (2nd week after the stroke), mild and moderate language deficits (3rd month after the stroke) and an isolated anomy of numbers (12th month after the stroke). Thanks to the functional improvement, one year after the stroke, the patient performed the tasks of naming objects, activities and describing the features of objects almost without error. In addition, he efficiently recognized and differentiated the values of numbers, correctly wrote down the numbers under dictation and made good mathematical calculations. However, these data contrasted with very low results in trials to name numerals (digits and numbers, hours, dates), assessed as anomia for numbers. Conclusions: Anomia for numbers is a very rare post-stroke language deficit that can be diagnosed in people with aphasia after the withdrawal of coexisting language disorders and the exclusion of other, than the nominating ones, possible causes of incorrect verbal responses to the numerical material.

Objective: The purpose of the work was to establish whether systematic balance training of moderate intensity influences postural control measurements in older adults. Methods: Seventy-nine healthy older adults (mean age 65.33 ±3.83 years) were randomly divided into 3 groups: classic balance training (CBT, n=32, mean age 66.03 ±3.19 years), virtual reality balance training (VBT, n=16, mean age 65.31 ±3.46 years), and control (CON, n=31, mean age 64.61 ±4.54 years). Postural control was measured at inclusion, and after completion of the 12 weeks training cycle or—CON—with an interval of 12 weeks. Results: The study revealed that both forms of applied BT caused significant changes in the examined parameters assessing balance. CBT improved reduced trunk deflection in the test with closed eyes condition, while in the VBT group, improvement was noted mainly regarding parameters assessing static balance with open eyes.
