Equilibrium and posture impairment is a common cause of collapse in individuals experiencing traumatic brain injury, which limits patient autonomy and independence in daily activities. Therefore, the recovery of balance is one of the primary goals of rehabilitation for individuals following the traumatic brain injury (Llorens et al., 2013). The aim was to determine the relationship between sensory integration, postural stability and fall risk assessment parameters using physiotherapy for individuals with traumatic brain injury. Methods. The study involved 16 people with traumatic brain injury. The subjects were divided into two groups – the frst one (n = 8) and the second one (n = 8). The frst group was taking 30 minutes regular physiotherapy and 30 minutes balance training with Biodex Balance System, second group – 30 min. regular physiotherapy and 30 minutes regular exercises for balance. Results. Changes in the postural stability index, anterior /posterior and medial/ lateral fluctuation indexes, fall risk stability index and clinical sensory integration test index in both groups did not change statistically signifcant (p > 0.05). A strong, statistically signifcant direct relationship was found in the frst study group between the postural stability index and the fluctuation of the anterior /posterior index changes (r = 0.922; p = 0.001). Conclusions. Physiotherapy using the Biodex Balance System and the usual physiotherapy is equally effective in developing postural stability, sensory integration, and fall risk. The link between many of the studied indicators shows that postural stability, sensory integration and the risk of falls are related.Keywords: traumatic brain injury, sensory integration, postural stability, fall risk, physiotherapy.","PeriodicalId":34737,"journal":{"name":"Reabilitacijos Mokslai Slauga Kineziterapija Ergoterapija","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48580089","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}

Neck and shoulder pain is one of the most common problems of the musculoskeletal system (De Meulemeester et al., 2017). Work-related neck and shoulder pain is one of the most important and every year increasing problems in ofce workers (Cagnie et al., 2013). Purpose. To determine the relationship between functional state of cervical spine, fear of movement and neck-shoulder muscle pain threshold in ofce workers in the aspect of gender. Methods. Thirty six individuals voluntarily participated in the research (21 females, 15 males), who met inclusions criteria. We assessed subjective functional state of cervical spine, fear of movement and neck-shoulder muscle pain threshold on both sides. Results. Females had greater neck disability than males (females – 12.24 ± 3.75 scores, males – 11.27 ± 3.28 scores, p > 0.05) and felt more pain-induced fear of movement during work (females – 23.05 ± 3.72 scores, males – 21.8 ± 2.37 scores, p > 0.05). Males’ neck-shoulder muscle pain threshold on both sides was higher than that of females (p < 0.05). Conclusions. There was no difference between sedentary females and males’ neck disability and fear of movement. Sedentary males had signifcantly higher neck-shoulder muscle pain threshold compared to females. There were moderate correlations between male neck disability and right supraspinatus muscle pain threshold, but we did not fnd signifcant correlations between female results.

Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) affects 1–3% of children aged 10–16 years (Weinstein et al., 2008). It is important to make comprehensive evaluation and treatment of IS because it provokes health problems and progresses (Negrini et al., 2006). There is a lack of research on muscle impairments, their relations with posture in IS (Parent, Ritchter, 2016). Aim – to assess relations between posture and trunk muscle functions in schoolaged girls with IS. Methods. The study included 20 patients with IS. Anthropometric measurements, measurements of posture (habitual standing posture, posture performing auto-correction and performing Matthias test), functional trunk stability evaluation, trunk muscle static endurance tests were used. Results. After performing auto-correction, thoracic kyphosis signifcantly decreased. Measurements showed decreased static trunk muscle endurance, normal proportions between trunk muscle groups: 75% of subjects have trunk instability. Trunk inclination, left major surface rotation statistically signifcantly changed in functional trunk stability test. Statistical moderate correlations were determined between both side trunk muscle static endurance and: medium surface rotation, major left surface rotation, medium lateral deviation. Also between Cobb angle and static endurance of left side trunk muscles. Changes of major left surface rotation in functional trunk stability test correlated with static endurance ratio of both sides trunk muscles. Statistical strong correlation was determined between major right lateral deviation and both sides muscles static endurance. Conclusions.

Aging constantly manifests itself not only in physiological changes, but also in cognitive ones. Exercise programs for elderly have been created aiming at avoiding risk of falling, but there is little known about changes in cognitive functions under the effect of exercise. The aim was to evaluate the effect of water-based and land-based exercises on balance and cognitive functions in elderly women and men. Methods. The dynamic balance of study participants (n = 32) was evaluated using Timed Up & Go Test, the static balance was evaluated with a 4-position Static Balance Test and the cognitive functions were evaluated with Six-Item Cognitive Impairment Test, the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire and the Trail Making Test. The participants were randomly divided in two groups: water exercise and land-based exercise. Results. After 8 weeks of exercise in water and on land, static and dynamic balance and cognitive functions improved in both groups (p < 0.05), no statistically signifcant difference was found between the groups except for the trail making test, which was performed more quickly by subjects who attended exercise in water.

The causes of fibromyalgia (FM) are unclear and diagnosing FM is complicated, which limits treatment options, and no treatment to date has proven fully effective in alleviating its symptoms. In current studies, where art therapy has been applied in the case of FM, art therapy has been part of a multidisciplinary intervention. The authors were unable to find any published data on the effects of art therapy on FM. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of group art therapy on pain, emotional state, and feeling of health and comfort of FM patients. Research methods. Intervention included ten structured art therapy sessions. The participants were 20 women between the ages of 39–64 years. In order to assess the results of therapy, a self-rate questionnaire was used. Therapy session changes were registered using pain and fatigue NRS and semantic differential scales of feeling of health and comfort. The outcome of group art therapy was assessed with a pain and fatigue NRS, and an Emotional State Questionnaire (EST-Q2). An open question was used to study the expectations of participants at the beginning of therapy and the main result of the therapy upon its conclusion. Research results. During the group art therapy session, pain and fatigue decreased and the feeling of health and comfort improved. This was confirmed by the content analysis of open questions. Following therapy, a significant decrease had taken place in the subscales of the Emotional State Questionnaire in depression, anxiety, and agoraphobia-panic; a substantial decrease in pain and fatigue took place in patients with heightened baseline measures. Conclusion. The changes following the therapy session confirm the results of earlier studies on the positive effects of psychotherapy and art therapy sessions on pain.
