The speech and language disorders for stroke patients are associate with bigger morbidity, mortality, hypofunction, but the literature fndings are controversial. The aim of the study is to analyse the influence of speech and language disorders on the effectiveness of rehabilitation of individuals who suffered stroke. Subjects and methods. The study involved 64 individuals with stroke who were treated at LUHSH KK Neurorehabilitation subdivision during the years 2008 and 2010. In this analysis a retrospective data from hospital medical records forms was used. The effectiveness of rehabilitation was assessed by a change of results of functional independence measurement (FIM) and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) tests during rehabilitation. The factors that may influence the effectiveness of rehabilitation (age, gender, type of speech and language disorder) were analysed. Results. The analysis revealed that rehabilitation was effective and effcient for individuals who suffered stroke both in the right and the left side, and the difference was not statistically signifcant. The FIM results of individuals with speech disorders before rehabilitation were worse, comparing to those who had speech and language disorder. The difference was statistically significant (p = 0.004). But after rehabilitation, although the FIM results of subjects with speech impairments remained lower, the difference was not statistically signifcant (p = 0.367). The difference between FIM results after rehabilitation among separate aphasia groups was not statistically signifcant. But there was a statistically signifcant difference, comparing MMSE results before and after rehabilitation (p = 0.02). Conclusions. The inpatient rehabilitation was effective for stroke patients.

This article analyzes aggressive behaviour of schizophrenic child and its characteristics. It examines what factors provoke aggressive behaviour, what activities are useful to strengthen their social adaptation. There are scientific articles with discussions about schizophrenic patients’ feelings, neurobiological activities, but it is a lack of concrete case analyses, helpful to understand psychological and social causes of schizophrenic patient aggressive behaviour, and to create methodical techniques how to work with these children having goal to reduce aggressive behaviour. The aim of this article is to explore psychosocial environmental impact on aggressiveness of children, suffering from schizophrenia. Methods. Qualitative research was selected, phenomenological observation and a short interview with children’s mothers and nurses were used for data collection, and the examination of the documents (drawings) was used, too. Data were summarized using qualitative content analysis, as well as grounded theory strategy. The study involved four school-age patients with schizophrenia. Recorded materials of observations and interviews were analyzed as the text. Results. Schizophrenic child has learned aggressive behaviour in the family; social rejection or sudden loss of warm emotional contact strengthened aggressiveness; aggressive actions occurred spontaneously and were directed to the imme diate surroundings; these actions were incomprehensible to people; emergence of noise provoked aggressive actions. Aggressive behaviour is associated with insecurity, low self-esteem, failure to understand the cause of aggressive behavior attacks reinforces alienation and hostility to the social world. Unconscious aggressiveness intensifes during its performance, so the behaviour is completely out of control; its consequences are related to the personality’s social devaluation. All these things are experienced as an access to the catastrophe from which the man cannot be saved, so the children focus on the crumbling world and inadequate attempts to escape, provoking conflicts. Quiet environment and drawing strengthens the self-esteem of individuals and calms. Conclusion. Personalized, targeted organization of leisure, responding to the interests of children with schizophrenia, creates the psychosocial environment, where the child’s safety increases, and aggressive behaviour trend reduces.Keywords: children with schizophrenia, aggressive behaviour, psychosocial environment, drawing.","PeriodicalId":34737,"journal":{"name":"Reabilitacijos Mokslai Slauga Kineziterapija Ergoterapija","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69456664","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}

The imbalance between the jaw and neck muscle activity occurs as a compensatory mechanism in order to stabilize the jaw and neck structural parts in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders (Ries et al., 2008). Changes occur in posture control system if any biomechanical unit varies (Ritzel et al., 2007). One system compensates the unusually active other body system in upper cross syndrome (UCS) (Tharcher et al., 2011). This syndrome is characterized by shortened upper trapezius, pectoralis major and romboids and week middle and lower trapezius, serratus anterior and deep neck flexors (Moore, 2004; Tharcher et al., 2011). Thus, it is believed that there may be a direct link between the upper cross syndrome and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Purpose. Explore relationship between temporomandibular joint dysfunction and upper crossed syndrome in women. Methods. Thirty female volunteers participated in the study, and they were divided into groups according to trigger points in the shoulder and neck muscles: group 1 – painful shoulder and neck muscles (32.65 ± 12.34 years), group 2 – painless shoulder and neck muscles (34.5 ± 10.95 years). Survey was carried out assessing TMJ function during observation, palpation, evaluation of the sagittal craniovertebral angle, the neck and shoulder muscle length, strength, pain and deep neck muscle endurance was examined. Results. It was found that TMJ function was strongly associated with the UCS: trapezius pain as well as upper trapezius and scalenus length. TMJ disorders were associated with headache in both groups. Weak connection between deep neck muscle endurance and TMJ dysfunction was identifed. Conclusions. TMJ mobility is partly related to UCS, and TMJ functional disorders related to headache and sagittal craniovertebral angle. UCS specifc changes, such as pectoralis muscle length changes and impaired deep neck muscle endurance are not related to TMJ dysfunction.Keywords: temporomandibular joint, the upper crossed syndrome, muscle length, headache.","PeriodicalId":34737,"journal":{"name":"Reabilitacijos Mokslai Slauga Kineziterapija Ergoterapija","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69456585","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}

Human health is largely determined by the body’s resistance to various damaging factors and, in particular, the functional state of its immune system. The use of unique, new generation immunomodulators in prevention of diseases is promising. Goal of the research was to defne the perspectives in the application of immunocorrector Transfer factorTM in immunoprophylaxis programmes and immunorehabilitation analysing and summarizing scientifc articles. Methods. Systemic literature overview was performed, including 77 scientifc articles and conference proceedings in English, published in the period from 1949 to 2016. The main inclusion criterion was clinical trial or literature review, analysing the effect of immunocorrector on human health in cases of different disorders.  Results. Transfer factors are molecules that communicate antigenic immunological information intracellularly from a donor to a recipient. Mammalian Transfer factors, including those of humans are small molecules between 3,500 and 10,000 Daltons. Transfer factor’s functions of cell-mediated immunity and non-specifc immunological activity differ from the functions of antibodies. Transfer factors are divided into three fractions: the inductors that provide rapid immune response and general readiness of the immune system; suppressors, which regulate the intensity of the immune response, preventing allergic and autoimmune reactions; antigen specifc Transfer factors with a set of certain antigens, allowing quick adjusting of the immune system to recognize many bacterial and viruses.

Wearing high-heeled shoes can cause posture distortions: the head position is tilted forward, increased lordosis of the lumbar spine anterior pelvic tilt, knees flexed with some knee ‘varus’, hyper-supination of the foot (Pannell, 2012). These changes cause muscle imbalance: abdominal core muscles, upper back erectors spinae get elongated and weakened, gluteal muscles are weakened. Hamstrings get slightly elongated but are not necessarily weakened. Hip flexors and lower back muscles get shortened and strengthened. Soleus and gastrocnemius muscles get shortened and strengthened. Aim of the study was to determine the long-term effect of wearing high-heeled shoes on women’s leg muscles and posture. Methods. Twenty nine women took part in the study. They were divided into two groups: those who met the research criteria and wore high heeled shoes and those, who did not. We used a questionnaire to assign participants to one of the research groups, and measured muscle strength using a hand-held dynamometer, we measured pressure distribution in a specifc foot area using a “Matscan” mat and evaluated posture according W. K. Hoeger’s method. Results. Strength of only three muscle groups differed between women wearing and not wearing high heels, muscle strength of thigh flexors, shin erector and feet plantar flexors in women regularly wearing high heels were greater compared to women that did not wear high heels. Measurements of static feet load distribution showed that in women wearing high-heeled shoes, 71.01% of weight went on heels and only 28.98% ‒ on toes and forefoot, while in women not wearing high heels weight was distributed equally ‒ 49.28% goes on heels and 50.72% on toes and forefeet. Study results showed that 41.3% of women regularly wearing high-heeled shoes had excellent posture, while 45.7% of women not wearing high-heeled shoes had excellent posture. Conclusions. Muscle strength of thigh flexors, shin erector and feet plantar flexors in women regularly wearing high heels was greater compared to women that did not wear high heels.

Joints or muscles dysfunctions more often occur not only in elderly but also middle aged people. The problem becomes chronic and causes longtermed pain, lack of functional mobility. One of the most affected areas of human musculoskeletal zones is shoulder area (Pan, 2016). Purpose. Evaluate myofascial release techniques for pain and function in patients with chronic shoulder pain. Methods. There were 12 patients chosen who were randomly divided into ischemic compression and friction groups. We evaluated pain, arm function, muscle strength and range of motion. Results. In ischemia group, pain after the treatment decreased (before 5.33 ± 0.81; after 3 ± 1.41, p = 0.01). Function of arm improved (before 42.83 ± 8.23; after 62.5 ± 6.89, p = 0.01).
