Abstract. The aim of the research is to observe whether specific developmental disorder of motor function (SDDMF) in infancy affects 6-7 years old children's balance and to find out does physiotherapy (PT) is beneficial for enhancing and maintaining this feature. The study involved 97 right-hand 6-7 years old children. Participants were divided into two groups: study and control group. In the study group, there were children who had SDDMF in infancy being 4-11 months old and participated in a PT program in infancy. Control group participants didn't have SDDMF and PT in infancy. The balance was assessed using a computerized balance platform. The study group had 16 physiotherapy procedures. A data analysis showed significant differences of participants' balance characteristics in frontal and sagittal planes: comparing study and control group results before PT in open eyes with feedback performance. There was a significant difference of balance between the study group before and after a PT with the control group when participants performed tasks with open eyes without a feedback. SDDMF in infancy affects 6-7 years old children's balance and PT is beneficial for enhancing and maintaining these features for 6-7 years old children.
Liemens raumenų fizinio pajėgumo ir funkcinių judesių sąsajos rankos judesių greičio ir liemens raumenų ištvermės) ir funkcinių judesių stereotipo vertinimas (naudojant FMS sistemą -septyni funkciniai judesiai). Pusiausvyra vertinta flamingo testu, kuris atliekamas kaire ir dešine kojomis. Kairės ir dešinės rankos judesių greitis nustatytas tepingo testu. Lankstumas vertintas testu "Sėstis ir siekti" bei inklinometru, kai vertintas Th12-L1 ir L4-L5 segmentų mobilumas. Liemens raumenų ištvermė vertinta šiais testais: Kraus-Weber testu -pilvo viršutinės dalies raumenų ištvermė, ITO testu -nugaros tiesiamųjų raumenų ištvermė, šoninio tiltelio testu -šoninių liemens raumenų (kairės ir dešinės pusės) ištvermė. Funkciniai judesiai vertinti šiais testais
More and more people suffer from trauma and it depends on the functional movement, balance characteristics. Balance management is based on the interaction of the systems of skeletal muscles and nerves and it is important to know what the reason of traumas is for people who are more or less likely to suffer from trauma. The aim of our research was to determine the balance characteristics asymmetry properties for people who are more and less likely to suffer from trauma. The study involved 382 people aged 18-24 years. The study consisted of functional movement and balance evaluation. Seven functional movements were assessed as per the G. Cook's criteria and according to this the subjects were divided into groups. The balance was tested on the Libra balance platform. Results obtained during the study demonstrate the feasibility of presented testing methodology to access individual peculiarities and to evaluate of effects of exercise training program. Participants who are less likely to suffer from trauma have a better balance in the frontal and sagittal planes, while they are standing with both legs with open or closed eyes on an unstable balance platform.
Asymmetry of body parts refers to absence of symmetry and unevenly developed body parts in terms of the axis and plane. It has been long ago noticed that no perfectly correct human body exists, and bodies are to a greater or lesser extent asymmetric. A passive way of life, insufficient movement and inappropriate ergonomics of the workplace have a negative impact on the skeletal muscle system, usually resulting in reduced muscle power, static and dynamic muscle endurance, and altered muscle tone. The aim is to determine whether muscle myotonometry parameters are informative in early risk diagnostics to predict the likelihood of skeletal muscle system trauma. The study involved 382 people aged 18-24. Participants were devided into two groups: according to the accumulated composite score. Testing was made one time. The study consisted of functional movement and myotonometry evaluation. The study analyses and presents comparisons of the results depending on the trauma likelihood and sex. In addition, asymmetry of the left and the right body side is investigated. The analysis of the asymmetries (delta) in the frequency of damped oscillations of trapezius, biceps femoris, gastrocnemius (inner and outer part) on the left and right sides of the body demonstrated greater asymmetries between the left and the right sides of the body in the groups of both men and women with a lower chance of trauma. The assessment of asymmetries in femoris rectus and tibialis anterior between the left and the right sides of the body showed differences in the frequency of damped oscillations in all groups. Muscle myotonometry parameters are informative and may be used in early risk diagnostics to predict skeletal muscle system trauma. The asymmetry in tibialis muscle tone between the left and the right leg causes poorer parameters of functional movement performance in women. No associations were found to exist with the ability to perform functional movements in men. The asymmetry in femoris muscle tone between the left and right leg demonstrates the ability of young subjects to perform functional movements. It is characteristic of men and, to a lower extent, of women.
Research background and hypothesis. The aim of physical therapy after sports trauma is to help patients to restore physical activity as it was before injury. The participants who applied for intensive physical therapy after anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery will achieve better leg muscle strength results.Research aim was to compare the effectiveness of intensive and traditional rehabilitation of the knee extensor and flexor muscle strength after the surgery for patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.Research methods. The method that we used was “Biodex Medical System 3 PRO” for the knee muscle strength. A total of 30 patients were enrolled in this study. The subjects were divided into two groups. The muscle strength was measured while leg was flexed and extended at the knee joint.Research results. The research results showed that participants who received intensive physical therapy program developed better muscle strength than in standard physical therapy group. Participant’s leg muscles recovered faster in intensive physical therapy group than in standard physical therapy group.Discussion and conclusions. The participants who received physical therapy before surgery, electrostimulation and intensive physical therapy program after surgery, achieved higher levels of knee extensor and flexor muscle strength after anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery than those patients undergoing a traditional physical therapy program only after surgery.
