The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between the angle of spinal curvature and surface electromyography (SEMG) amplitude of the erector spinae in young school-children. A total of 251 children aged 7–8 participated in the study. The analysis involved 103 (41%) children with scoliosis, 141 (56.17%) with scoliotic posture, and seven (3.0%) with normal posture. Body posture was evaluated using the Diers formetric III 4D optoelectronic method. Analysis of SEMG amplitude of the erector spinae was performed with the Noraxon TeleMyo DTS apparatus. A significant correlation was found between the angle of spinal curvature and the SEMG amplitude of the erector spinae. The most important and statistically significant predictor of the SEMG amplitude and scoliosis angle in the scoliosis group was the standing position, chest segment, right side. The largest generalized SEMG amplitude of the erector spinae occurred in both boys and girls with scoliosis. Impaired balance of muscle tension in the erector spinae can trigger a set of changes that create a clinical and anatomopathological image of spinal curvature.
The aim of the study was to assess differences in the body composition of patients after hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. There were 74 male participants in the study, of which 13 (18%) experienced hemorrhagic stroke, while 61 (82%) were after ischemic stroke. Significantly (p < 0.05) higher values of body composition variables were noted for ischemic compared to hemorrhagic strokes, and concerned: body mass (BM) (kg), basal metabolic rate (BMR) (kJ), fat-free mass (FFM) (kg), total body water (TBW) (kg), muscle mass (MM) (kg), visceral fat level (VFL), bone mass (BoM) (kg), extracellular water(ECW) (kg),intracellular water (ICW) (kg), trunk fat-free mass (TFFM) (kg) and trunk muscle mass (TMM) (kg)in the paretic upper limb; FFM (kg) and MM (kg) in the non-paretic upper limb; FFM (kg) and MM (kg) in the paretic lower limbas well as FFM (kg) and MM (kg) in the non-paretic lower limb without paresis. Only for the variables fat mass (FM) (kg), body mass index (BMI), metabolic age (MA), trunk fat mass (TFM) (kg), and FM (kg) in the paretic upper limb and FM (kg) in the non-paretic upper limb were there no significant differences. Significant differences in body composition of patients after hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke have been demonstrated. Individuals after ischemic stroke had significantly worse body composition. Incorrect body composition is a significant risk factor, especially of ischemic stroke.
Introduction:Proper development of posture is based on the integrative function of the brain and the body's ability to adapt to the changing conditions of the external environment. Disturbances in the processing of sensorimotor integration processes prevent the correct course of development of body posture. The processes of sensorimotor integration lead to the formation of appropriate postural tension, organization of alternating innervation, and the generation of correct postural and movement patterns. Scoliotic posture means the tendency of the spine axis to deviate from a straight line, which is associated with incorrect body posture. The postural system is based on the functioning of 3 senses: the balance system, vision, and proprioception. Aim of the research:To assess the relationship between sensory integration and balance deficits as well as scoliotic posture in boys. Material and methods:The study comprised 65 ten-year-old boys. Body posture was assessed using the Diers Formetric III 4D optoelectronic method. The Clinical Test of Sensory Integration and Balance (CTSIB), carried out on the Biodex Balance System platform, was used to analyse deficits in sensory integration and balance. Results and conclusions: There was a significant correlation between the deficits of sensory integration and balance, as well as the angle of curvature of the spine, pelvic obliquity, and the direction of spine curvature. With increasing angle of curvature of the spine and pelvic obliquity, deficits in sensory integration and balance also worsened. Sensory integration and balance deficits significantly influence the formation of a scoliotic attitude. StreszczenieWprowadzenie: Prawidłowy rozwój postawy opiera się na integracyjnej funkcji mózgu, czyli zdolności przystosowania się organizmu do zmieniających się warunków środowiska zewnętrznego. Zaburzenia przetwarzania procesów integracji sensomotorycznej uniemożliwiają prawidłowy przebieg rozwoju postawy ciała. Przetwarzanie procesów integracji sensomotorycznej prowadzi do kształtowania odpowiedniego napięcia posturalnego, organizacji unerwienia naprzemiennego oraz wytworzenia prawidłowych wzorców posturalnych i ruchowych. Postawa skoliotyczna oznacza tendencję osi kręgosłupa do odchylania się od linii prostej, co wiąże się z występowaniem nieprawidłowej postawy ciała. System posturalny opiera się szczególnie na funkcjonowaniu trzech zmysłów, tj. układu równowagi, wzroku oraz propriocepcji. Cel pracy: Ocena związku między zaburzeniami integracji sensorycznej a deficytami równowagi oraz postawą skoliotyczną u chłopców. Materiał i metody: Badaniami objęto 45 chłopców w wieku 10 lat. Postawę ciała oceniano metodą optoelektroniczną Diers Formetric III 4D. Do analizy deficytów integracji i równowagi sensorycznej wykorzystano Kliniczny test integracji i równowagi sensorycznej (CTSIB), który został przeprowadzony na platformie Biodex Balance System Wyniki i wnioski: W badaniach zaobserwowano istotną zależność pomiędzy występowaniem deficytów integracji sensorycznej i równowagi oraz k...
