In Group 1 (n=30), participants reported chronic low back pain, Group 2 (n=30) was the control group. To assess functional efficiency, the Functional Movement Screen was used. Postural stability was evaluated using the FreeMED Posture Base pedobarographic platform. Pain level was determined using the VAS scale, and pelvic anterior tilt was measured using the BROM II.Results In the group of women with chronic low back pain, significantly lower levels of functional efficiency were observed. The length distance covered by the CoP, the area of an ellipse containing the trajectory of the CoP, and the average velocity of the CoP were greater compared to the group of women without pain. In Group 1, significantly greater asymmetry in foot pressure distribution was noted.Conclusions Individuals reported chronic low back pain demonstrate poorer quality of performance functional patterns and postural stability compared to healthy ones. Detecting movement disorders may contribute to a physiotherapist's planning of a therapeutic program that includes the specific movement deficits of patients. It can directly impact the reduction or delay of pain occurrence.","PeriodicalId":35329,"journal":{"name":"Rehabilitacja Medyczna","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141356230","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}

One of the basic methods in clinical diagnosis is the measurement of body temperature. In biological tissues, there are two main types of reactions caused by optical radiation: photochemical and thermal. The effects of radiation exposure depend on its properties and physical parameters, including the amount of absorbed dose and the duration of exposure. In the case of thermotherapy as a therapeutic method, the appropriate choice of radiation type and the selection of physical parameters is a necessary condition for obtaining desired, beneficial therapeutic effects. The aim of the study is to investigate the thermal effect of non-ionizing radiation: infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV) and electromagnetic field (EMF) induced in short-wave diathermy (MD), measured with classical thermometers and a thermal imaging camera. The thermal effect, as a result of overheating with three different factors: IR, UV, MD; and under the same conditions, is studied. The variation in temperature distribution in different phantoms is evaluated in order to delve into the subject of thermal effect regarding each radiation separately and to consider its suitability for medical diagnosis and therapy.Material and methods: The thermal effect study was carried out on two phantoms. The first phantom F1 - a wooden cuboid (27.0 x 7.0 x 7.5cm) with five holes drilled at 5-cm intervals, into which thermometers were inserted (depth 5 cm). The second phantom - F2 was a biological tissue, the lower part of pork ham cut off along with the bone with fat covering and skin. Phantoms F1 and F2 were treated with an infrared heater (P1), a lamp emitting ultraviolet radiation (P2) and short-wave diathermy (P3); C and irradiation - 20 minutes, temperature measurements at intervals of 5 minutes, i.e. 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes for the examined factors. During the experiment, temperature measurements were periodically made with the IR Thermal Radiometric Camera MobIR M3. For obtaining reliability of the measurements, the whole trial was repeated 10 times. Before the thermograms were made, two-hour intervals were applied between successive measurements, maintaining a constant ambient temperature of 23C.Results: With regard to UV radiation, there was an increase in the average temperature among the thermometers. This was particularly noticeable in the first thermometer with a 1.9% increase (up to 25.110.29C) above the ambient temperature (24.650.34C) after 15 minutes of measurements. After 20 minutes, the average temperature increase in thermometer 1 was 2.2% (up to 25.180.23C). A temperature increase in subsequent thermometers may be related to thermal conductivity and an increase of ambient temperature. In turn, for IR, an average 1.7% (to 25.160.87C) temperature increase of all thermometers was observed at 15 minutes and at 20 minutes, by 2.9% (to 25.481.35C","PeriodicalId":35329,"journal":{"name":"Rehabilitacja Medyczna","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141360423","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 questionnaire contains items assessing parents' literacy of body posture and was conducted among 55 Polish parents of school-age children and adolescents.Results: Initial results (first test-retest) for 37 participants revealed substantial reliability (0.61 to 1.00), however, it was exhibited that modifications were needed for some specific questions. After revisions and retesting (second test-retest of 18 participants), the updated questionnaire demonstrated significantly improved reliability (Cohen's kappa coefficient ranged from 0.85 to 1.00).Conclusions: The developed questionnaire is valid in terms of face and content validity, as well as reliability for assessing parents' literacy of body posture, and can potentially be used in clinical trials and practical settings.","PeriodicalId":35329,"journal":{"name":"Rehabilitacja Medyczna","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141128976","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}
