There are various causes of deafness which can appear at any stage of our lives. Therefore, different complications and consequences may be observed. Damaged hearing influences the way of communication and has a significant impact on every area of a child's life. The aim of this study was to evaluate general fitness of children who are hard of hearing at a moderate level as well as to demonstrate that hearing impairment can influence a child's physical development. In order to achieve these goals, the research was conducted in a group of 105 children at the age of 10-12, the average age 11. The experimental group consisted of 42 hearing-impaired children (14 girls and 28 boys). The control group was comprised of 63 hearing children (36 girls and 27 boys). General fitness was measured with the use of The Eurofit Physical Fitness Test Battery. The results showed that children with a hearing defect achieved worse results in almost all components of general fitness. The only test in which the group of hearing-impaired children proved to be slightly better than the group of hearing children was the static strength test. The research on hearing-impaired children who were using hearing aids as well as those who were not revealed that the use of a hearing aid can have a positive influence on test results.

Damage to the rotator cuffs within the shoulder girdle is one of the many causes of the painful shoulder syndrome. The main symptom is the accompanying pain limiting partial or complete mobility in the shoulder joint. Weakness and atrophy of the deltoid and supraspinous muscles of the shoulder are secondary symptoms caused by immobilization of the upper limb. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of the use of physical therapy in women with damaged rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder girdle. The study involved 30 women aged 45–70, who were divided into two groups: professionally active (n = 15) and professionally inactive (n = 15). The muscle strength of the shoulder joint rim, strength of the hand grip and pain assessment according to the VAS scale were analyzed. The assessment of upper limb fitness was assessed before and after 20 physiotherapy procedures. Professionally active women returned to physical fitness faster, gaining greater strength of the shoulder girdle, strength of the hand grip and reduction of perceptible pain.

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) in the lumbosacral spine is one of the most common causes of pain and the significant associated limitations in physical activity and daily functioning, with the vast majority of patients requiring long-term physiotherapy. Hence, the significance of proper diagnostics, locating the cause of the ailment, implementation of appropriate therapy and prevention. The aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy of outpatient physiotherapy on reducing pain and improving the function of the lumbosacral spine. The research group comprised 95 people (50 women and 45 men) with an average age of 53 years, all patients with DDD in the lumbosacral spine. They underwent 3 physical treatments: magnetotherapy, laser therapy, and systemic cryotherapy, as well as gymnastic exercises, aimed at improving physical fitness, and strengthening the muscular corset. The research methods included the Schober test, the Thomayer test (finger-ground test), the Visual Analogue Scale scale, Laitinen's pain questionnaire, and calculation of BMI. Physiotherapeutic treatments significantly reduced the patients' pain symptoms, significantly increased the range of motion in the lumbosacral spine and improved physical fitness. Better results of the therapy were observed in patients with lower BMI.
