IntroductionKinesiology Taping is a method that assists healing processes and improves the physical efficiency.The aim of the studyThe aim of the study was to assess the influence of Kinesiology Taping on the lymphoedema reduction among women after mastectomy.Material and methodsThe subject of the research included 44 women underwent single mastectomy along with the removal of lymph nodes. The examination was carried out from the 4th of January to the 4th of February, 2013. The traditional taping method was implemented among 22 women, whereas the own taping method was used among the other 22 women. The therapy took 21 days, during which the tapes were applied three times every 7 days. The measurements were made before every application and at the end of the therapy. In the study, a questionnaire was used and it included questions concerning basic demographic, epidemiological data as well as the evaluation of the therapy effectiveness. The linear measurements of the upper limbs, the measurements of the range of joints’ motion in the upper limb were taken as well as grip strength was made.ResultsThe reduction of the volume of lymphoedema of 55% was reported in the study group, whereas the oedema reduced by 27% in the clinical control one.ConclusionsIn the reduction of lymphoedema, the greater effectiveness of the own taping method in comparison to the traditional one was reported. Kinesiology Taping exerted an influence on the improvement of the upper limb's joints movability and the grip strength.
Introduction: The rib broken are most frequent damages of chest. They cause strong pain, and make difficulties in breathing and changing position of body. Uncomplicated breakdowns are cured by analgesics drugs. One of physical methods for pain decreasing in musculoskeletal dysfunctions is kinesiotaping. The aim of this study was assessment of effectiveness Kinesiology Taping method after rib broken and their influence on pain reduction and breathing parameters. Material and methods : In this study take part 14 patients after broken one or few ribs from General and Colorectal Surgery Clinic Bielanski Hospital in Warsaw. Breathing parameters was controlled by forced vital capacity(FVC), forced expiratory voluntary in first second(FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF). Pain was asses by visual analogue scale (VAS) separately for three situations: deep breathing, provoked coughing and changing body position from supine to seating. Next K-Active Tape® apply on skin over the broken rib. After 15 minutes breathing parameters and pain level assessing was repeated. Results: There were difference between pain level before and after K-Active Tape® apply in three different situations. It shown difference in value of average points VAS in changing body position from supine to seating (p= 0,015), provoked coughing (p= 0,022) and deep breathing (p= 0,023). It means that pain was significantly decrees. Analysis of average value breathing parameters indicate upward trend FVC, FEV1 and PEF after Kinesiology Taping application, but it wasn’t statistically significant. Conclusions: Kinesiology Taping is safety, supplementary method for heeling posttraumatic ribs condition. Apply lymphatic and ligament techniques using K-Active Tape® could be effectiveness method of reduction pain after ribs broken. It’s necessary to continue research on effectiveness Kinesiology Taping after ribs broken with extend methodology.

SummaryBackground. non-specific back pain indicating serious distant health and social consequences is an important challenge for both health promotion and prevention programs. Material and methods. the study was conducted 150 patients (20-35 years) of the Rehabilitation centre of the Regional occupational Medicine centre, therapeutic and Preventive centre in lublin diagnosed with non-specific neck pain. the study also used VaS (Visual analogue Scale) for self-assessment of the severity of pain -using proprietary questionnaire. Results. the study also revealed unhealthy behaviour of respondents: lack of regular physical activity, regular -almost daily -consumption of alcohol and fatigue. In 36% of study participants, abnormal body mass index (BMI) was found. there was a significant relationship between the irregularity of this index and the level of severity of pain according to VaS (visual analogue scale). Reported pain was the greater -the more the respondents crossed a normal working time. no significant relationship between the level of pain and the quality of physical recreation, economic status and the level of life satisfaction was shown. Conclusions. Prevention programs should be addressed especially to women with abnormal BMI value who perform long hours' office work. Health education in the field of work ergonomics, compensatory exercises and rational nutrition is necessary.Keywords: pain, young, neck, people, non-specific Streszczenie Wprowadzenie. niespecyficzne bóle kręgosłupa skutkujące w okresie odległym poważnymi konsekwencjami zdrowotnymi i społecznymi są ważnym wyzwaniem dla programów promocji zdrowia i profilaktyki. Materiał i metody. Badanie przeprowadzono w grupie 150 chorych (20-35 lat), pacjentów ośrodka Rehabilitacji leczniczej wojewódzkiego ośrodka Medycyny Pracy centrum Profilaktyczno-leczniczego w lublinie z rozpoznaniem nieswoistych bólów kręgosłupa szyjnego. w badaniach zastosowano skalę VaS (Visual analogue Scale) do samooceny nasilenia bólu -oraz autorski kwestionariusz ankiety. Wyniki. Badanie wykazało istotne anty-zdrowotne zachowania respondentów: brak systematycznej aktywności fizycznej, regularne -prawie codziennie -spożycie alkoholu i pracę w wymiarze ponadwymiarowym, powodującą zmęczenie. w grupie 36% uczestników badania, wskaźnik masy ciała (BMI) miał wartości nieprawidłowe. Stwierdzono istotną zależność pomiędzy nieprawidłowością tego wskaźnika i poziomem nasilenia bólu według VaS (wizualnej skali analogowej). zgłaszany ból był tym większy -im częściej respondenci przekroczyli także normalny czas pracy. nie stwierdzono istotnego związku między poziomem bólu i jakością rekreacji fizycznej, statusem ekonomicznym i poziom jakości życia. Wnioski. Programy profilaktyczne bólów kręgosłupa szyjnego powinny być kierowane przede wszystkim do kobiet z nieprawidłową wartością BMI, osób które wykonują pracę biurową w wymiarze ponadnormatywnym. Konieczna jest edukacja zdrowotna w zakresie ergonomii pracy, ćwiczeń kompensacyjno-wyrównawczych i racjonalnego odżywiania. Rutkowska E, Halas...
