Relevance After the cochlear implantation 70 per cent of children looses their balance. Number of various kinezitherapheutic exercises are used for developing the balance: exercises on soft, moving surfaces reducing body support area; the ones with „Gymnic�� balls. Music therapy has a modern history, applying it for children with hearing and balance or complex disorder in healing. But classical researches were not made on the issue of what benefit music therapy has on children after cochlear implantation surgery. Dances, games are important for social, emotional, intellectual process of children; it is a natural process optimization mean for preschool children, activity, in context of which, corrective tasks are solved. The object of our research was balance of children, for which cochlear implantation was made. The aim of the research – to deduce an effect of kinezitherapy means to children, to which cochlear implantation was made. Goals: 1. To assess and compare a balance of experimental and control children groups after the cochlear implantation. 2. To assess and compare a balance of experimental and control children groups nine months after the cochlear implantation was made. 3. To evaluate the effect of used kinezetherapy means to children balance. The organization of the research. 32 children whom the cochlear implantation was made took place in the research. They were divided into 2 groups: experimental (n=17) and control (n=15). The research lasted for 9 months. The... [to full text]

Raktiniai žodžiai: laikysena, skoliozė, raumenų tonusas, kineziterapija. Tyrimo objektas: 10-16 metų (5,6,7,8 klasių) vaikų, sergančių cerebriniu paralyžiumi laikysenos sutrikimai ir korekcija. Tyrimo problema: Netaisyklinga laikysena, ydinga laikysena, skoliozė – vis dažniau skambančios frazės ugdymo įstaigose šiomis dienomis. Šiame kompiuterių ir technikos amžiuje laikysenos sutrikimai yra labai dažnas reiškinys mokinių tarpe. Vaikams, sergantiems cerebriniu paralyžiumi, ši problema yra ypač aktuali, nes jų kūno laikyseną labai įtakoja jų specifinis raumenų tonusas, sąnarių kontraktūros, jau nekalbant apie nepritaikytus mokyklinius suolus ir laiką, praleistą prie kompiuterio. Jų kūno laikyseną reikia nuolat prižiūrėti, intensyvinti mankštas, taikyti įvairius metodus, naujoves, kad pasiekti pačią optimaliausia formą. Darbo tikslas: Išsiaiškinti, ar pakito tiriamųjų laikysena bei raumenų jėga ir tonusas, pritaikius judesių korekcijos užsiėmimų programą. Tyrimo uždaviniai: 1. Apibendrinti literatūrą apie vaikų laikysenos sutrikimus, vaikų, sergančių cerebriniu paralyžiumi raumenų tonuso ypatumus. 2. Įvertinti cerebriniu paralyžiumi sergančių vaikų laikyseną, sąnarių amplitudes, raumenų tonusą bei jėgą prieš judesių korekcijos užsiėmimų programos sudarymą. 3. Ištyrus sudaryti judesių korekcijos užsiėmimų bendrą programą (bendrą ir jei reikia individualią); 4. Įvertinti cerebriniu paralyžiumi sergančių vaikų laikyseną, raumenų tonusą bei jėgą judesių korekcijos užsiėmimų...

The object of research: posture disorder and correction of 10-16 year (5th, 6th, 7th and 8th forms) children having cerebral paralysis. The problem of research: Incorrect posture, perverse posture and scoliosis are phrases heard and pronounced more and more often at educational institutions nowadays. In the computer and machine age posture disorder is a very common phenomenon among schoolchildren. The problem is especially relevant for children having cerebral paralysis as their body posture is extremely influenced by specific muscular tonicity and articular contractor not to mention unfitted school desks and time spent in front of the computer. In order to achieve the most optimum physical form these children’s body posture must always be under observation, exercises should be intensified and various methods and innovations applied. The purpose of research: To ascertain if children’s in the study posture and muscular power and tonicity have changed since the application of the programme of activities of movement correction. The objectives of research: 1. To summarize literature on the disorder of children’s posture and peculiarities of muscular tonicity of children having cerebral paralysis. 2. To evaluate posture, articular amplitude, muscular tonicity and power of children having cerebral paralysis before formation of the programme of activities of movement correction. 3.

Nėštumas tai fiziologinė sveikos moters būsena. Fizinio aktyvumo stoka nėštumo metu įtakoja nėščiosios savijautą. Nėščiųjų, kurios neatlieka fizinių pratimų kūno masė būna didesnė, negu reguliariai dariusios mankštą nėštumo metu. Fiziškai neaktyvių nėščiųjų širdies susitraukimų dažnis (ŠSD) būna didesnis, nei sportuojančių moterų. Pagal PSO 25 % nėščiųjų skundžiasi nugaros skausmais, susijusius su atramos judamojo aparato pokyčiais nėštumo metu. Daug dėmesio skiriama nėščiųjų sveikatingumui, tačiau nepakankamai pabrėžiama kineziterapijos nauda nėščiosios savijautai, gimdymo eigai. Literatūroje yra nemažai duomenų apie fizinių pratimų teigiamą poveikį moters organizmui, tame tarpe ir nėščiųjų, tačiau kaip taikant fizinius pratimus vandenyje keičiasi nėščiosios riebalinės raukšlės, arterinis kraujo spaudimas ir širdies susitraukimų dažnis nėra žinoma Šio tyrimo tikslas – įvertinti fizinių pratimų vandenyje poveikį nėščiosios savijautai ir kai kuriems fiziologiniams rodikliams. Tyrimo tikslui pasiekti buvo naudojami šie tyrimo metodai: 1. Anketinė apklausa; 2.Riebalinių raukšlių matavimas (kaliperiu); 3.Arterinio kraujospūdžio (mmHg) ir pulso matavimas; 4.Rufjė testas; 5. Matematinė statistika. Tyrimas buvo atliekamas Vilniaus Lietuvos vaikų jaunimo centre (LVJC). Ištirta 20 nėščiųjų, kurios lankė reguliariai užsiėmimus baseine du kartus savaitėje. Antroji grupė, kontrolinė, sudarė taip pat 20 nenėščių moterų, atsitiktinių, panašaus amžiaus, kaip ir nėščiosios. Abiems grupėms...

There is a lot of information in the literature about the positive effect of physical exercise to women’s´ body, including pregnant once. But, when using kinezitherapy in the water the relative body fat – body muscle mass is changing and the heart systole rate (HSR) are unknown. The importance of this research is to evaluate the effect of physical exercises in the water to a pregnant woman and some physiological indexes. The methods of this research are: 1. Questionnaires; 2. Measurement of oil wrinkles; 3. Measurement of Arterial blood pressure (mmHg) and measurement of pulse; 4.Rufje test; 5. Mathematical statistics.

Miracle of human life becomes evident at the moment of his birth. However at this moment only the next stage is reached by the process that starts from conjugation between father��s gamete and mother’s egg cell and which ends after the youngster is pubescent. This process is called the development. In the appropriate period of child’s growth his body is characterized by specific morphological features. Parents are the best observers of their children. However in order to observe deviations of infant’s development it is necessary to know what normal development looks like. Early years may become a basis for long and healthy life therefore the early prophylaxis is of great value (Prasauskienė, 2003). Purpose of this paper was to investigate effect of kinezitherapy and other factors on motor development of normally developing children in the first years of life. Investigation methods used in this paper were as follows: 1. Assessment of gross motor skills’ development; 2. Analysis of subjects’ medical histories; 3. Mathematical statistics. The investigation was carried out at the Child’s Development Clinic “Lopšelis” of Kaunas (Kauno Vaiko Raidos Klinika “Lopšelis”) in the department of infants’ home beginning on October of 2004 and until February of 2006 (period – 14 months). During this period time and development of early gross motor skills in 19 infants were examined that had no neurological disorders (in accordance with Munich diagnostic scale of functional development)...
