Background: Stroke in young people can leave them with a disability before their most productive years due to a lack of awareness in the young adult population. Rehabilitation of young stroke patients is often associated with a variety of social problems. Aims: To present a case report of the rehabilitation of a 31-year-old patient with uncommon symptoms hospitalised due to haemorrhagic stroke in the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory. Case report: This article presents the case of a 31-year-old woman with uncommon neurological symptoms. A head CT scan revealed a haemorrhagic area in the left MCA territory. The physical examination showed a deterioration in general functioning and upper quadrant hemianopia but no signs of focal central nervous system (CNS) damage and gait problems. The patient followed the doctors’ recommendations to exercise under the supervision of a physiotherapist, rest and try not to strain too much. Functional ability was assessed three times: 8 days after hospital admission (23 days from the stroke), 6 months and 1 year after the hospital stay. The Barthel Index (BI), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Tandem Pivot Test (TPT) were performed. The patient case report was given BI scores of 70, 100 and 100 points, BBS scores of 31, 47 and 55 points and TPT scores of 3, 5 and 5 points at eight days, six months and one year after the hospital stay, respectively. Summary: In the case report, the patient’s head CT scan revealed a haemorrhage in an area in the left MCA territory. This phenomenon is prognostically bad if it occurs up to six hours after the stroke incident. In this case, almost two weeks passed from the first uncommon stroke symptoms to the proper medical treatment. Physiotherapy exercise programmes provide a chance for proper medical and rehabilitation treatment and faster recovery for patients.

Aims: Previous studies confirm the existence of a beneficial component of mechanical vibration and oscillation during trampoline exercises. Researchers have been interested in the possibility of using these exercises in the process of streng thening pelvic floor muscles and in cases of stress urinary incontinence. This study aimed to evaluate changes in pelvic floor muscle tone after 8 weeks of systematic ‘jumping fitness’ training and performing a follow-up observation of the main tenance of this effect after 9 months. Case report: This study involved a young woman without symptoms of stress urinary incontinence who began practi cing ‘jumping fitness’ 3 times a week for 2 months. After the end of the training cycle, there was an increase in the bioelec trical activity of the pelvic floor muscles in all muscle groups tested, both during the contraction and relaxation phases. Ho -wever, 9 months after the end of training, pelvic floor muscle activity decreased in some measurements. Summary: In the case of the patient studied, the proposed form of recreation may constitute a type of prophylactic tra ining to prevent pelvic floor muscle weakness. However, the long-term effect of such training on the condition of the pelvic floor should be assessed.

The aim of this study was to review our recent papers on the use of selected physiotherapeutic methods in the management of chronic low back pain (LBP). Some of the procedures under discussion have a significant analgesic effect and are helpful in supporting kinesiotherapy in improving the functional state of patients with LBP. The most effective procedures for LBP include radial shock wave therapy, electrotherapy with the use of interferential currents (IFC), and the use of a high-intensity magnetic field (10 mT). To some extent, electrotherapy in the form of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and high-voltage pulsed current electrical stimulation (HVPC ES) may also be useful, although the effectiveness of these methods is significantly lower than IFC stimulation. Our research clearly shows that laser therapy, treatment using a magnetic field with lower induction (5 mT), magnetostimulation, and electrotherapy with diadynamic currents are ineffective in the management of chronic LBP.

Aims: The primary aim of this study was to assess the effect of manual therapy techniques according to the Mulligan concept on treating headache. The secondary aim was a theoretical pre-sentation of headache types, diagnostic methods and alterna-tive forms of treatment. We also present the principles of the concept and the underlying techniques used in this study. Material and methods: The study participants were 27 indivi-duals of different ages, both male and female, who experienced headache. The subjects were diagnosed using the author’s examination card to evaluate therapeutic effects and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument, Short Form (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire to assess patients’ quality of life before and after therapy. Results: Of the 27 patients included in the study, 10 experienced immediate improvement, with complete relief of their headaches. Seven patients showed improvement, but their headaches did not disappear completely. The patients’ quality of life increased after the treatment, and the analgesic effect of the manual therapy was maintained for up to four weeks. Conclusions: Manual techniques from the Mulligan concept are effective in the treatment of cervicogenic headaches. The intensity of pain in patients decreased after therapy and remained at a lower level for at least four weeks. The exercises performed by the patients as part of self-therapy reduced their headaches, and the patients’ quality of life was higher after therapy.

Background: Cervical mobility is influenced by a number of factors, including headaches. Aims: To assess the impact of headache and its clinical features on the range of movements of the cervical spine. Material and methods: The study involved 25 women aged 30–54 who had headaches in the last 6 months. The respondents completed an original questionnaire, which included, inter alia, pain characteristics. The ranges of mobility of the cervical segment were measured using a smartphone held by a head-mounted setup. Rotation in the Occ-C2 segment was also assessed, and muscle tenderness was examined. Results: The ranges of neck mobility in the study group did not differ from the ranges reported in the literature. There was no correlation between the pain characteristics and the ranges obtained, although correlations between age and a decrease in the mean ranges of mobility and between overweight and reduced mobility of the cervical segment were identified. Conclusions: The occurrence, duration, frequency, and intensity of headaches do not significantly affect the range of motion of the cervical spine.

Aims: To evaluate the effect of a 4-week training program in an outdoor gym on the physical fitness of individuals aged 60–74 years measured by the Fullerton test. Material and methods: A total of 31 subjects were eligible, of whom 26 subjects (18 women and 8 men) completed the study (mean age of 66.8 ± 4 years). Before and after the 4-week training period in an outdoor gym, the participants subjectively rated their physical fitness, muscular strength, flexibility, endurance, and mood using a self-designed rating scale. A Fullerton test was also administered before and after the training program. Training in the outdoor gym was performed 3 times per week in 45-minute sessions for 4 weeks. Results: It was observed that the 4-week training program in an outdoor gym significantly improved the participants’ subjective ratings of their own physical fitness, muscular strength, flexibility, endurance, and mood. There was a statistically significant improvement in all parameters assessed by the Fullerton test. There was also a significant decrease in body mass index (BMI) after the 4-week training program. Conclusions: Training in an outdoor gym has a remarkable effect on fitness components, as shown by the Fullerton test, BMI reduction, and self-assessment of health and well-being.

Background: A limited number of sources provided in Polish focused on people playing musical instruments and various ailments resulting from the play, giving the impression that this group of people should enjoy good health. Unfortunately, the analyzes of the conducted research indicate something else. Musicians are part of a society whose work is often invisible. In addition to concerts, weddings and special events, they spend much time locked in a recording studio, and the occurrence of an injury that excludes them from regular work may have social and psychological effects. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate and analyze the frequency of musculoskeletal disorders among musicians. Material and methods: The granting was carried out by the method of a diagnostic survey using a proprietary online questionnaire made available to the study group, broken down by sex, age and experience. Results: The presented study shows the state of knowledge and awareness in a given professional group and, at the same time, shows how widespread and frequent the given problem is. In the study group, musicians report pain problems in as many as 95% of cases. Conclusion: The musicians belong to the group of people particularly exposed to pain from the musculoskeletal system

Background: In recent years, the concept of "body awareness" has emerged as a subject of scientific study in a wide range of health issues. Bodywork can include both sports participation and the practice of yoga. Therefore, the role of somatognosis is worth using to expand physiotherapists’ awareness and knowledge of the use of mental practices and psychotherapy in injury prevention and in the development of body awareness, which may be helpful during recovery. Aims: The purpose of this study was to verify the development of body awareness when practising yoga or a professional sport, to determine whether athletes should undertake mental practices outside of their sport, and how they compare to body-conscious individuals. The effects of mental practices and sports on sensitivity in experiencing emotions, needs, and non-emotional bodily processes are explored. Material and methods: The study included 64 female yoga practitioners and 64 female volleyball players. The Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ), the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and open-ended questions developed by the researcher were used to compare the body awareness of the study groups. Results: Women practising yoga showed greater body awareness in the BAQ and MAAS questionnaire when compared to female volleyball players. Yoga contributes more to developing mindful awareness and sensations unrelated to emotions. In contrast, professional sports are more likely to lead athletes to ignore physical discomfort and tension; they are more likely to associate self-awareness with self-knowledge rather than the concept of mindfulness. Conclusion: There was a noticeable consistency in the theoretical assumptions, expected outcomes, and the results reported by the subjects. 38 A comparative analysis of body awareness in women practising yoga and volleyball players Aleksandra Muda1, Alicja Długołęcka2 1Faculty of Rehabilitation; Józef Pilsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw, Poland 2Department of Ergotherapy, Faculty of Rehabilitation; Józef Pilsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw, Poland Correspondence to: Aleksandra Muda, email: aleksandra.muda@op.pl DOI: https://doi.org/10.5114/phr.2021.111809 Received: 16.02.2021 Reviewed: 19.03.2021 Accepted: 19.03.2021

Background: The multifidus muscle is a deep muscle and the main stabiliser of the spine. Ab normal activity and morphology of this muscle can provoke cervical spinal pain. One way to as sess the morphology of deep stabilising muscles is ultrasonography. There is limited evidence on the reliability of measuring the multifidus muscle in the cervical region of the spine using rehabili tative ultrasound imaging (RUSI). Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the reliabili ty of measuring the cross-sectional area, surface area, and circumference of the multifidus muscle in the cervical region of the spine Material and methods: The study involved 10 heal thy subjects, including 7 women and 3 men, aged 23–62 years. The cross-sectional area, circumfe rence, and surface area of the multifidus musc le in the cervical section of the spine were me asured in the subjects using RUSI. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used for each measurement (3.1–3.3) as recommended index for the intra-rater reliability assessment. Results: Taking measurements twice, with a 15-minute interval between them, increased the reliability of measurements of the cross-sectio nal area, surface area, and circumference of the multifidus muscle in the cervical section of the spine to ICC > 0.9, which indicates excellent relia bility. The mean of the three measurements de creased the ICC value to 0.8–0.9, showing good reliability of the measurements. The ICC 3.3 va lues for measurements of the area and circum ference of the multifidus muscle in the cervical region of the spine performed after seven days were lower, in the range of 0.48–0.55, which sug gests questionable reliability of measurements. The value of ICC 3.3 of the cross-sectional area also decreased, although it remained in the upper limit (0.85), demonstrating good reliability of the measurement. Conclusions: The RUSI is a reliable tool for asses sing the morphology of the multifidus muscle in the cervical spine region.

Conclusions: The RUSI is a reliable tool for asses sing the morphology of the multifidus muscle in the cervical spine region.","PeriodicalId":88183,"journal":{"name":"The Physiotherapy review","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80471428","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}
