Atliekant bakalauro darbą, buvo susipažįstama su išsėtine skleroze, išsiaiškinama kokie yra pagrindiniai ligos požymiai ir ligos gydymo metodai medikamentiniu ir nemedikamentiniu būdais. Analizuojamas kineziterapijos vandenyje poveikis bendrajai motorikai ir gyvenimo kokybei asmenims, kurie serga išsėtine skleroze. Tyrime dalyvavo penki Šiaulių išsėtinės sklerozės draugijos nariai. Kurių sergamumas siekė nuo metų iki 25 ir ligos progresavimas yra skirtingi. Tiriamųjų amžius skirtingas nuo 40 iki 68. Jų darbingumas nuo 20 – 40 procentų. Tyrime buvo panaudota gyvenimo kokybės vertinimo testas, statinės pusiausvyros vertinimo testas, aktyvumo vertinimo testas ir laikysenos vertinimo testas. Linijinis eksperimentas vykdomas nuo 2010 spalio iki 2011 kovo mėnesiais. Visą linijinį eksperimentą galima suskirstyti į tris etapus. Svarbiausios empirinės dalies išvados: Sergantiesiems išsėtine skleroze kineziterapija vandenyje nežymiai pagerino gyvenimo kokybės įsivertinimą fiziniais ir psichiniais aspektais, tiek visos grupės, tiek kiekvieno individualiai. Eksperimento pabaigoje bendras visos grupės statinės pusiausvyros rezultatas pablogėjo. Pagal individualius rodiklius trims iš tiriamųjų - rezultatai pagerėjo, dviem – pablogėjo (gali būti dėl ligos progresavimo tyrimo eigoje). Kineziterapija vandenyje išsėtine skleroze sergančiųjų asmenų laikysenai įtakos neturėjo, nes rezultatai tyrimo pabaigoje liko nepakitę. Sergantiesiems išsėtine skleroze kineziterapija vandenyje...

Analysed effect of kinesitherapy in water on general motility and life quality for the persons with multiple sclerosis. Five Šiauliai Multiple Sclerosis Society members participated in the research. Their illness history reaches one to 25 years, progress differs. Age of the respondents is 40 to 68. Their workability is 20 to 40 per cent. Life quality assessment test, static balance test, activity test and posture test were used in the research. Linear experiment was carried out from October 2010 till March 2011. The linear experiment can be allocated into three stages. The most important conclusions of the empirical part: kinesitherapy in water slightly improved the life quality self-assessment of those with multiple sclerosis on physical and psychical aspects both individually and of the group in total. In the end of the experiment joint static balance result of the entire group worsened. According to individual indices, results improved in three subjects, became worse in two subjects (possibly due to their illness progress in the course of research). Kinesitherapy in water did not have any effect on posture of those with multiple sclerosis, because results in the end of the research remained unchanged. Kinesitherapy in water slightly improved movement activity of the entire group. Like with the static... [to full text]

Goal of the research is to analyze and evaluate the life quality of paraplegics. Object of research is life quality of paraplegics. Tasks of research: to evaluate the life quality of paraplegics according to age and physical activity; to evaluate the life quality of paraplegics according to level of medulla injury, duration of trauma; to analyze the expression of life quality components of paraplegics in gender aspect. There are numerous researches analyzing the quality of life, but we could not find any research analyzing the life quality of paraplegics. Research of such character would enable to better clarify factors having impact on life quality of paraplegics depending on gender, age, level of medulla injury, duration of medulla injury, physical activity. In order to evaluate life quality according to a standard, extensive scientific research is needed. Research was carried out in summer 2005 at the therapy and rehabilitation centre “Landšaftas” in Monsiškės, and in recreation centre “Balčio Šilas“. Research was conducted among 41 paraplegic: 29 men and 12 women. Quality of Life Questionnaire, 2001 was applied, and supplemented with questions from questionnaire of research on socialization of disabled by Williams (1994). Summarizing the obtained research results one can state that life quality of paraplegics of younger age (21-40 years) is better than that of aged paraplegics (41-60 years). After life quality evaluation according to level and duration of medulla injure... [to full text]
