Tyrimo aktualumas. Klubo sąnario endoprotezavimo operacija – tai viena iš labiausiai kliniškai sėkmingų ir veiksmingų duodanti ilgalaikius rezultatus siekiant sumažinti skausmą, pagerinti funkciją ir gyvenimo kokybę pacientams sergantiems klubo sąnario ligomis (Ferrata et al., 2011). Tyrimo objektas: kineziterapijos efektyvumas šlaunies sąnarių amplitudei, šlaunies raumenų jėgai, skausmui ir funkciniam mobilumui, pacientams po klubo sąnario endoprotezavimo. Tyrimo tikslas - įvertinti kineziterapijos poveikį klubo sąnario judesių amplitudei, šlaunies raumenų jėgai, skausmui ir savarankiškumui po klubo sąnario endoprotezavimo. Tyrimo uždaviniai: 1) įvertinti endoprotezuotos kojos šlaunies judesių amplitudės kitimą taikant kineziterapiją; 2) įvertinti endoprotezuotos kojos šlaunies raumenų jėgos kitimą taikant kineziterapiją; 3) įvertinti endoprotezuotos kojos skausmo kitimą taikant kineziterapiją; 4) įvertinti funkcinio mobilumo kitimą taikant kineziterapiją. Hipotezė: kinezitrepijos taikymas bus efektyvesnis pacientams, kuriems endoprotezavimo operacija atlikta dėl šlaunikaulio kaklelio lūžio, nei pacientams, kuriems operacija atlikta dėl koksartrozės. Išvados: 1. Po kineziterapijos procedūrų, endoprotezuotos kojos šlaunies lenkimo amplitudė statistiškai reikšmingai daugiau padidėjo pacientams, kuriems operacija buvo atlikta dėl koksartrozės. 2. Po kineziterapijos procedūrų, endoprotezuotos kojos šlaunies lekiamųjų raumenų jėga statsitiškai reikšmingai daugiau...

Object of study: physiotherapy effectiveness on hip range of motion, hip muscle strength, pain and functional mobility in patients after hip replacement. Goal of the study: to assess physiotherapy influence to hip joint range of motion, hip muscle strength, pain and functional mobility after hip joint replacement. Aims of the study: 1) To assess hip range of motion after hip replacement applying physiotherapy; 2) To assess hip muscle strength after hip replacement applying physiotherapy; 3) To assess hip pain changes after hip replacement applying physiotherapy; 4) To assess functional mobility changes after hip replacement applying physiotherapy Hypothesis: physiotherapy will be more affective on patients who have had hip replacement after hip column fracture than for patients who have had hip replacement because of coxarthrosis. Conclusions: 1. After physiotherapy on patients who have had hip replacement, hip range of motion statistically significant improved on patients who have had surgery after coxarthrosis. 2. After physiotherapy on patients who have had hip replacement, hip muscle strength statistically significant improved on patients who have had surgery after hip column fracture. 3. After physiotherapy on... [to full text]

Thesis (M.Tech.: Chiropractic)- Dept. of Chiropractic, Durban Institute of Technology, 2005. xvii, 109 leaves : ill. ; 30 cm / The paucity of clinical research into the cause of canine hip dysplasia, efficacy and effects of the different treatment protocols available for the management of symptoms, as well as the differing presentations, has led to a continued variation in standardized care for this condition. The aim of this study was to contribute further information on the use of instrument manipulation as an alternative or adjunctive means of managing the symptoms of canine hip dysplasia. Both manual and instrument manipulation have effectively been used in the short-term management of human musculoskeletal pconditions, it was hypothesized that the use of instrument manipulation would benefit the canine patient. The use of human based studies was a guideline, as no previous chiropractic studies have been conducted on the canine subject.

The master thesis focuses on dysplasia of the hip joint in relation to the physical activities of an infant under one year. The thesis contains three sections. The theoretical part informs about dysplasia of the hip and physical activities jointed to this infliction. The special part defines suitable and unsuitable physical activities of an infant under one year with dysplasia of the hip. The research deals with hypothesis, problem's questions and goals. The methods used are anamnesis, experiment, interviews and casuistry. On the basis of experiment was difined short-term and a long-term exercise's plan for infant under one year with dysplasia of the hip. The research was conducted at the patient K. V. from birth to one year of age. Were applied the selected physical activities that demonstrate their significant impact on the reporting of disability. Medical reports suggest that the degree of disability investigated patients improved more than one level. It was also found that there are differences of opinion between medical approaches and treatment by specialists. Even parents have a different attitude to medical recommendations and some seek the views of other experts. Conclusion contains a summary of the facts and submitted to the positive impact of alternative approaches to influence child...

Canine cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture is a common veterinary orthopaedic problem, and has been associated with problems at the ipsilateral hip joint. However, the relationship between stifle and hip dysfunction has not been fully investigated. The purpose of this study was to establish whether CCL pathology is associated with a limitation in hip extension range large enough to affect gait. In a prospective, crosssectional study, passive and active hip extension range was determined in normal dogs as well as CCL deficient dogs. There was a significant reduction in ipsilateral passive hip extension range in the CCL deficient dogs (18.63º+/-7.57).There was a significant increase in hip extension range of the unaffected leg during gait compared to the normal group (7.03º+/-8.41). It was therefore concluded that canine CCL pathology directly affects hip extension range to a degree sufficient to affect normal gait.
