Kineziterapijos efektyvumo įvertinimas vaikams, sergantiems Leg-Kalve-Perteso liga / Efficiency of Kinesitherapy for the Children with the Legg-Calve-Perthes diseaseKlimienė, Asta 17 May 2005 (has links)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of kinesitherapy applied to children presented with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease during rehabilitation period. The study was performed at V. Tumenienes Children Rehabilitation Center in Kaunas. 22 children (boys) were examined. The efficacy of kinesitherapy was assessed using movement range and leg musculature extent groups’ measurements. The movement function was evaluated using modified Keitel index. The results showed that the movement range of the affected leg has improved in approximately one year during which kinesitherapy procedures were applied (p<0.0001). Statistically significant difference was observed. During treatment, slight changes regarding calf size were observed (p<0.05). The size of the thigh and the calf increased after kinesitherapy course (p<0.0001). Keitel index raised up to 67.9 ± 4.2% (p<0.0001) at the end of the treatment course. Thus, the movement therapy provided at V. Tumenienes Children Rehabilitation Center was effective.
