In this work we defined the implications of the handgrip strength and the alternation of the shoulder joint during the 30-day period of rehabilitation. Thus, with the help of the regression method, as well as the modified exponential function, we aimed to create alternation models during the application period of kynezitherapy implements. This work concentrates on the alternation of the injured hand muscles’ strength and the mobility of the shoulder joint measurements, as well as the models of these measurements during the rehabilitation period. Our aims were: 1) to evaluate the probability of applying the modified exponential function, devising the models of alternation, concerning impetus to different age and sex groups, during the period of physiotherapy rehabilitation; 2) to identify the probability of applying the modified exponential function, devising the models of alternation, concerning joint mobility to different age groups, during the period of physiotherapy rehabilitation. 29 patients, divided into three age groups (21-35, 36-55, 56-70 year-olds), participated in a survey of hand tightening. These patients were also subdivided into groups, according to their sex. In the survey of the shoulder joint mobility, there were 18 participants, divided into the same age groups. According to the results of the survey, we came upon these conclusions: 1. Modified exponential function can be applied modeling the results of alternation, concerning the handgrip strength...

During the first months of age the child is able to better regenerate what has been impaired. Following the phenomenon of integrity of motion and psychics, a method of neurodevelopment therapy (NDT), which helps to treat disordered motion, has been created and successfully applied around the world. In this work a hypothesis was made that if kinesitherapy application is started as early as possible in the infantry, there are better possibilities for the development of disordered motion of infants to reach the level of chronological age development. The aim of the work is to evaluate the effect of kinesitherapy on development of infants’ motion in different periods of infantry. 104 infants, who were brought to Early Rehabilitation Service, were randomly selected. 53 infants constituted the first group (who have started to have kinesitherapy procedures before 4 months of age) and the second group involved 51 infant (who have started to have kinesitherapy procedures being older than 4 months). The following methods were applied in the research: analysis of infants’ anamnesis; evaluation of motion development; mathematical statistics. The research was carried out in Children Clinic of Siauliai Hospital. Each infant was having two kinesitherapy procedures per week for two months. Development of infants was assessed using the method of Munich Functional Development Diagnostics before kinesitherapy procedures and after them (after 2 months). In kinesitherapy procedures the method... [to full text]

The aim of the work was to determine if the use of physical therapy helps improve balance and gait ability of patients ill with multiple sclerosis. Twenty three patients ill with multiple sclerosis, who received a 1-hour physical therapy treatment at their home 3 times a week for one month, took part in the investigation. Balance of patients ill with multiple sclerosis was evaluated by the Berg balance scale and the gait index. The investigation has shown that before the use of physical therapy the balance and gate abilities of most investigated patients were poor . After the course of physical therapy by carrying out the same tests the balance and gait improvement was observed. Before physical therapy the balance total average of points for all tasks was 2,82±0,83 points, while after physical therapy it was 3,25±0,83 points (p<0,05). The sum of points of fulfilling all the tasks after physical therapy was larger by 10 points (p<0.05). In the evaluation of gait before physical therapy the average was 1,54±0,62 points, and after physical therapy it was 2,07±0,62 points (p<0,05). The sum of points of fulfilling all the tasks after physical therapy was larger by 12,2 points (p<0.05). After the course of physical therapy the number of patients who could keep their balance without risk of falling increased by 26,1%, and the number of patients whose gait abilities improved without risk of falling increased by 43,5%. We can draw the conclusion that physical therapy distinctly... [to full text]
