It is the main cause of chronic musculoskeletal pain and disability, it decreases the flexibility of the joint, and causes pain, joint effusion and loss of function among the elderly population. Objective. To examine how HILL therapy (High intensity laser therapy NDYAG 1064 nm) affects knee osteoarthritis.Design. A prospective randomized controlled trial. Setting. Outpatient Swiss physical therapy center. Methods. Thirty patients of both gender having bilateral knees osteoarthritis were recruited and randomized into two equal groups: the control group received a program of selected quadriceps muscle sets exercise and hamstring, calf muscles stretching for 4 weeks, and the study group received the same control group interventions in addition to HILL application. Ultrasonography degree was the primary outcome, While Western Ontario and McMaster universities (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index measures were the secondary outcomes. All variables were measured at the baseline and after 4 weeks of the intervention. Results. Statistical analysis was done by using paired’ test which showed significant improvement in both groups. Therefore, there was a significant difference between Group(A) and Group(B), showing that HILL group(A) is more effective than group(B) on pain, Stiffness, Function and ultrasonographic findings (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Using HILT with a standard program of quadriceps muscle strengthen exercise sets and hamstring, calf muscles stretching has more beneficial effects on bilateral knee osteoarthritis than practicing the exercise program alone.","PeriodicalId":39576,"journal":{"name":"Fizjoterapia Polska","volume":"119 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139135258","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}

With the entry into force of the Act on the Physiotherapist Profession, the profession of physiotherapist became an independent medical profession. The amendment to the Act in 2019 significantly expanded the scope of competences of contractors of the mentioned profession and strengthened its position in the health care system The aim of the study was to analyze the use of the physiotherapy services system within public and private health care. Material and methods. A total of 606 people (100%) were included in the study. The vast majority were women (506; 83.5%). The average age of the respondents was 28 years. The research tool was an original survey questionnaire created and made available via a Google form. Results. The most frequently used physiotherapy treatments within public health care included physical therapy (129; 34%) and kinesiotherapy (109; 28.8%), and the most frequently indicated reason for using the mentioned form was an injury or accident (83; 38.4%) and lifestyle-related pain (60; 27.8%). Most respondents considered the advantage of physiotherapy services provided as part of public health care to be the lack of fees for the visit (153; 63%) and the possibility of using the services of qualified specialists (42; 17.3%), while the greatest disadvantage was the long waiting time for the visit (138; 35.9%) and insufficient equipment of facilities (67; 17.4%). The most frequently used physiotherapy services in the private sector included: massage (179; 27.8%) and manual therapy (136; 21.1%), and the most common reasons for using these services were lifestyle-related pain (133; 36, 3%) and injury or accident (112; 30.6%). Most people considered short waiting times for services (218; 22.2%) and the involvement of a physiotherapist (211; 21.5%) as the greatest advantages of commercial services, and high prices of services (196; 61.1%) – a disadvantage.

The study’s goal was to determine the relationship between fat percentage and muscle and cardiovascular fitness, as well as the effect of the circuit body weight training method on muscle and cardiovascular fitness. Methods. Fitness requires effective and efficient methods, one of which is the circuit body weight training method. Some women’s perspectives on weight training have not been prioritized; there is still a lack of understanding on the regulation of exercise doses; and inconsistent studies of the relationship between fat percentage and physical fitness need seeking out the most recent data. A sample of 20 adult women aged 30-50 years was employed in this correlational and experimental study. The instruments used are a hand grip dynamometer, a leg and hand dynamometer, a rockpot, and an Omron body fat monitor. Techniques for collecting data from tests and measurements. The Spearman Rho test was used to analyze the data, along with Wilcoxon which assisted by SPSS 23. Results. The correlation results revealed a significant relationship between body fat percentage and hand, leg, back, and cardiovascular fitness, with a sig value of 0.05. The comparison revealed significant differences in pretest and posttest percentage of fat, back muscle fitness, limbs, and cardiovascular with a sig 0.05, but not in hand squeeze. It was determined that as the percentage of fat in the body decreased, fitness increased and vice versa. Circuit body weight training boosts cardiovascular fitness, lowers body fat percentage, and improves muscle fitness. Conclusions. Even though the power of hand squeezing is insignificant, it produces positive results. It is hoped that this study will provide information and a better understanding of weight training. The research is limited to adult women, the sample size is small, and there is no control group. This study can be improved through additional research.","PeriodicalId":39576,"journal":{"name":"Fizjoterapia Polska","volume":"114 51","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139133380","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}
