Introduction Low-back pain syndromes are a common problem. The authors estimate that this ailment is experienced by more than 80% of populations in developed countries. The treatment of spine pain syndromes is an interdisciplinary issue. Therefore, a proper therapy must be multifactorial and take into consideration all aspects of a patient’s life. The aim of this work was to compare subjective evaluation of the process of rehabilitation of patients suffering from ailments related to lumbar spine pain who received physiotherapy within the health insurance reimbursement in Poland and in France. Material and methods The study included 100 patients who underwent physiotherapy due to lumbosacral spine pain complaints. The study group consisted of 50 participants who received physiotherapy in Poland and 50 subjects who underwent it in France. The authors’ own questionnaire was employed in the study. It was prepared in two language versions, i.e. Polish and French. The questionnaire consisted of 34 questions on demography, pain complaints, the process of physiotherapy and the evaluation of pain on the VAS scale, before and after physiotherapy Results The assessment of the promptness of the employed treatments was statistically higher in the case of the patients in France (p=0.039). The general assessment of the physiotherapy process by the examined patients in Poland and in France was similar. No statistically significant differences were revealed in this respect (p=0.240). The process of the therapy was most often regarded as very good (66%). Conclusions The patients with chronic lumbar spine pain undergoing therapy in France evaluated it higher than the patients in Poland. The effectiveness of physiotherapy in both countries did not vary considerably. France respects the rules of early intervention and extensiveness of physiotherapy to a larger degree than Poland.

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.

One of the main priorities of stroke rehabilitation is regaining patients’ independence in basic everyday activities. This paper is aimed at assessing impact of early stroke rehabilitation on hip joint mobility of the affected leg in patients after cerebrovascular accidents. The study included 30 subjects (13 men and 17 women) aged on average ±66.1, with hemiparesis, who were treated at the stroke unit and participated in a 4-week rehabilitation program. Measurements of passive and active motion ranges were conducted with a goniometer in both limbs: healthy and affected ones by stroke. There were statistically significant differences in motion ranges between healthy and affected limbs. Examination I revealed that affected limbs amounted to only 40% of physiological range, while in Examination II, the result reached 73%. The most significant motion limitations were noted in terms of bending, adduction and internal rotation, while the least significant in terms of external rotation and abduction. Exercises used during early stroke rehabilitation of hemiparesis patients considerably increased active motion ranges and maintained passive motion ranges in the hip joint of the affected limb. Patients with right-sided hemiparesis experienced much better improvement in hip joint motion of the affected limb. The 4-week period was insufficient to mobilize patients and help them regain full active mobility in the hip joint of the affected limb. These patients required further physiotherapy, until they fully regained functionality.

Introduction: It is proven that the influence it has when used locally is anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiedematous, it reduces muscle tension and improves blood circulation. It has overall beneficial effect in systemic use. Cryotherapy causes strong reactions involving their vascular spasm, with the dynamic relaxation after that. Cryotherapy treatment is recommended e.g. in cases of musculoskeletal diseases, the diseases of the nervous system and depressive disorders. There are many medical contraindications to the use of cryotherapy treatment, especially to systemic cryotherapy treatment. One of them is unregulated high blood pressure (hypertension). The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of systemic cryotherapy treatment followed by kinesiotherapy on the behavior of blood pressure on the patients with normal blood pressure, and patients with high blood pressure. Material and methods: For this study it was examined 51 patients, including men and women. 45% of them were also diagnosed with hypertension. All patients were undergoing 10 systemic cryotherapy treatments following normal procedure. Immediately after cryotherapy treatment, each patient was directed to the kinesiotherapy treatment. During the study, blood pressure measurements were made. The results of blood pressure measurements were statistically analyzed for the entire study group, for the group of patients diagnosed without hypertension and for the group with hypertension. Results: Comparison of changes in the behavior of the blood pressure in each group of patients showed that after a series of 10 treatments, there was a decrease of blood pressure (both, systolic and diastolic). Among all patients and in the group of patients with hypertension, there was a clear tendency to increase of systolic blood pressure in each case immediately after cryotherapy. In all groups of patients, after kinesiotherapy there was a tendency to decrease the blood pressure. Conclusions: The results showed that a series of systemic cryotherapy treatments followed by kinesiotherapy causes reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure on patients without hypertension, and patients with diagnosed and well-controlled hypertension. Patients with high blood pressure during systemic cryotherapy treatment should undergo a special medical care.

Introduction: The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of post-isometric relaxation on muscle tone in patients with cervical vertigo. Material and methods: The study was conducted on a group of 100 patients including 65 women aged 20–76 years and 35 men aged 20–73 years, treated at the Department of Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology, Medical University Teaching Hospital in Lodz. The patients were randomized into 2 groups: I – 50 patients with cervical vertigo, II – control group of 50 healthy people without vertigo. Each patient underwent a detailed interview, subjective, otolaryngological, otoneurological and physical interviews, and routine laboratory tests. Neurology, ophthalmologyand internal medicine specialists were consulted for each case. The patients underwent Doppler ultrasound study of cranial vessels, computed tomography of cervical spine and head. Each patient had an individually selected set of exercises taking into account his/her disease and possible contraindications. Exercises included post-isometric relaxation of paravertebral muscles of cervical spine during 2 months. Objective analysis of therapy outcome was performed (before, after 2 weeks, after 1 month and after 2 months) based on linear measurement of active range of motion (ROM) in the cervical spine, muscle strength (Lovett’s scale) and severity of vertigo (Silvoniemi’s criteria). Results: The study showed a significant improvement of range of cervical spine motion and muscle strength as a result of exercises performed. Conclusions: Most patients (82.3%) obtained complete resolution or significant reduction of severity of cervical vertigo both in the objective tests (active ROM of cervical spine and muscle strength) and in subjective reports (Silvoniemi’s criteria).

Wprowadzenie: Celem pracy była ocena wpływu relaksacji poizometrycznej na napięcia mięśniowe u chorych z zawrotami głowy typu szyjnego. Materiał i metody: Badania przeprowadzono na grupie losowo wybranych 100 chorych, w tym 65 kobiet w wieku 20–76 lat i 35 mężczyzn w wieku 20–73 lat, leczonych w Klinice Otolaryngologii i Onkologii Laryngologicznej Uniwersyteckiego Szpitala Klinicznego im. WAM w Łodzi. Pacjentów podzielono na 2 grupy: I – badaną, liczącą 50 chorych z zawrotami głowy pochodzenia szyjnego, II – porównawczą, składającą się z 50 zdrowych osób, bez zawrotów głowy. U wszystkich chorych przeprowadzono szczegółowy wywiad, badanie przedmiotowe otolaryngologiczne, otoneurologiczne, fizykalne oraz rutynowe badania laboratoryjne. Każdy chory był konsultowany neurologicznie, okulistycznie i internistycznie oraz miał wykonywane USG naczyń doczaszkowych, tomografię komputerową odcinka szyjnego kręgosłupa i głowy. U wszystkich pacjentów zastosowano indywidualnie dobrany cykl ćwiczeń, uwzględniający dotychczasowy przebieg choroby oraz ewentualne przeciwwskazania, obejmujący relaksację poizometryczną mięśni okołokręgosłupowych w odcinku szyjnym przez okres 2 miesięcy. Obiektywna ocena skuteczności zastosowanej terapii odbywała się (przed rozpoczęciem terapii oraz po 2 tygodniach, po miesiącu i po 2 miesiącach) za pomocą liniowych pomiarów czynnego zakresu ruchomości szyjnego odcinka kręgosłupa oraz siły mięśniowej według testu Lovetta w skali punktowej i oceny zawrotów głowy według kryteriów Silvoniemiego. Wyniki: Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań stwierdzono, że pod wpływem kompleksowych ćwiczeń w grupie badanej nastąpiła znaczna poprawa ruchomości odcinka szyjnego kręgosłupa oraz siły mięśniowej. Wnioski: Zarówno w badaniach obiektywnych (pomiar ruchomości czynnej szyjnego odcinka kręgosłupa oraz siły mięśniowej), jak i subiektywnych (ocena wg kryteriów Silvoniemiego) wykazano u większości chorych (82,3%) całkowite ustąpienie lub znacznego stopnia zmniejszenie nasilenia zawrotów głowy pochodzenia szyjnego.
