Bakalauro darbe analizuojamos 14 – 18 metų moksleivių nugaros skausmų priežastys. Iškelta hipotezė: tikėtina, kad nugaros skausmų priežastys gali būti: 1) mažai judrus gyvenimo būdas (pamokos mokykloje, darbas kompiuteriu, ilgas televizoriaus žiūrėjimas, ilgalaikis buvimas vienoje padėtyje), 2) ilgalaikės netaisyklingos padėtys (netaisyklingas sėdėjimas, stovėjimas, svorių kėlimas, perkėlimas, nešimas), 3) dažnai atliekami nesaugūs pratimai. Tyrime buvo panaudota pusiau uždaro tipo anketa. Ją sudarė: demografinis blokas (duomenys apie tyriamuosius) – lytis, amžius, mokykla, klasė; 2) klausimų blokas, skirtas išsiaiškinti ar tiriamieji skundžiasi nugaros skausmais, 3) klausimų blokas, atskleisti nugaros skausmų pasireiškimo priežastis. Tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti 14 – 18 metų moksleivių nugaros skausmų priežastis. Tyrime dalyvavo 114 IX – XII klasių moksleiviai (nuo 14 iki 18 metų amžiaus), iš dviejų Radviliškio miesto gimnazijų. Atlikus tyrimą paaiškėjo, kad 54% 14 – 18 metų moksleivių skundžiasi nugaros skausmais. Tyrimo hipotezė pasitvirtino, kad nugaros skausmus šiame amžiuje gali sukelti: 1) Nepakankamas mokinių fizinis aktyvumas (69% mokinių renkasi pasyvias laisvalaikio praleidimo formas ir prie kompiuterio praleidžia daugiau nei 2 h per dieną). 2) Netaisyklingos padėtys sėdint bei keliant, perkeliant ir nešant daiktus (tik trečdalis moksleivių pasirinko taisyklingas padėtis). 3) Populiarūs diskutuotini (nesaugūs) pratimai (tik trečdalis moksleivių jų visiškai neatlieka)...

The hypotheses: it is likely that the causes of the back pain might be: 1) sedentary lifestyle (lessons at school, working on the computer, TV viewing, permanent staying in one position), 2) permanent wrong posture (wrong sitting, standing, weight lifting, movement, bearing), 3) frequent unsafe exercises. The semi-open questionaires were used during the research. The questionaires consisted of: demographic block (exploratory data) – sex, age, school, class; 2) questions block designed in order to explore whether persons under investigation have any complains about the back pain, 3) questions block designed in order to explore the causes of the back pain. The aim of the research is to determine the causes of the back pain of the students of age 14 to 18. 114 students (aged 14 to 18) from the 9-12 classes of the two Radviliškis city gymnasiums participated in the research. The study has shown that 54 per cent of all students aged 14 to 18 has ailments about the back pain. The hypothesis of the research was approved that the back pain of this age may be influenced by: 1) Low levels of physical activity (69 per cent of students prefer passive leisure activites and spends more than two hours using the computer). 2) Wrong positions while sitting, lifting, moving and bearing things (only one-third of the students selected appropriate position). 3) Popular negotiable...

To study the differences in levels of alexithymia, depresion, anxiety and socioeconomic status between a sample of adolescents diagnosed with ICD-10 Persistent Somatoform Pain Disorder N=120 and healthy adolescents controls N=240, and further to survey the method of family conflicts resolution in the somatizing adolescents.Using the Toronto alexithymia scale and Hospital anxiety and Depresion scale and questionary to the subjects and their parents to assess each family's SES and method of conflict resolution. The rate of alexithymia in somatizing adolescents was 69,2percent, which was significantly higher than inhealthy controls(22,9percent, p<o.001). Similarly the rate of anxiety was significantly higher in the somatizers(61,6percent) versus controls(23,3percent, p<0.0010.The method of conflict resolution in the families of somatizing adolescents was more often by quarreling or fighting(6,7percent), silence or not solving the problem at all(44,1percent), and rarely by discussion(17,6percent).

Su juosmeninės stuburo dalies skausmu, populiariai dar vadinamu juosmens skausmu, bent kartą per gyvenimą susiduria apie 80 proc. žmonių. Ši patologija rimtai komplikuoja gyvenimo kokybę – ją dažnai lydi neigiamos tiek ekonominės, socialinės (pvz., nedarbingumas), tiek psichologinės (pvz., depresija) pasekmės. Medicininiu požiūriu didžiausia problema, susijusi su šia patologija, yra ta, kad itin komplikuotas juosmeninės stuburo dalies skausmo atsiradimo priežasties nustatymas (net 90 proc. atvejų ji yra nespecifinė, nenustatoma tiksli mechaninė disfunkcija, lemianti sutrikimą). Tai žymiai apsunkina gydymo bei reabilitacijos procesą. Vienas novatoriškiausių būdų nugaros skausmo diagnostikai mokslo pasaulyje – šlaunies sukamųjų (rotaciniai) judesių amplitudės klubo sąnaryje rodikliai. Mokslininkų požiūriai šiuo klausimu iki šiol gan kontraversiški. Tad atsižvelgiant į problemos aktualumą bei svarbą kineziterapiauto praktikai, buvo bandoma detaliau patikslinti hipotezę, kad egzistuoja ryšys tarp lėtinio juosmenin��s stuburo dalies nugaros skausmo ir šlaunies sukamųjų judesių amplitudės klubo sąnaryje. Atliktas tyrimas, kurio pagrindiniai uždaviniai buvo šie: 1. Nustatyti ir įvertinti klubo sąnario sukamųjų judesių amplitudę, žmonių jaučiančių lėtinį juosmeninės stuburo dalies skausmą ir palyginti juos pagal lytį bei amžių. 2. Nustatyti ir įvertinti klubo sąnario sukamųjų judesių amplitudę, žmonių nejaučiančių lėtinio juosmeninės stuburo dalies skausmo ir palyginti juos pagal...

This pathology seriously complicates the quality of life: it is oftentimes accompanied by negative economic and social consequences (e.g. incapacity for work) as well as psychological consequences (e.g. depression). From medical point of view, the biggest problem associated with this pathology is that the diagnostics of the reason for emergence of low back pain is extremely complicated (in even 90% of the cases, this reason is non-specific, no accurate mechanical dysfunction is detected that would result in the disorder). This significantly aggravates the treatment and rehabilitation process. One of the most novel ways of diagnostics for the back pain worldwide is the establishment of indicators for hip rotation range of motion in the hip joint. So far, the views of scientists on this issue are rather controversial. Therefore, taking into account the relevance of the problem and its importance for the practice of a physicaltherapist, the objective was to adjust the hypothesis that a particular relation exists between the pain in the low back part of the spine and the hip rotation range of motion in the hip joint. A research has been made to fulfill the following tasks: 1. Definition and evaluation of the hip rotation range of motion of the people suffering from chronic low back pain and their comparison by sex and age. 2... [to full text]

Purpose – to determine students back pain correlation with physical development. In order to reach purpose of the reserach following tasks were set: 1. To determine indicators of students’ physical development and correlations among them; 2. To find out and assess static endurance of subjects’ trunk (back, abdominal, left and right sides) muscles; 3. To find out incidence of back pain in students and physical activity through questionnaire survey. Object of research – students back pain. 132 physical therapy students (109 females and 32 males) participated in the study. First year students − 39 females, 5 males; second year − 28 females, 5 males; third year − 27 females, 4 males; fourth year − 15 females, 9 males. When planning a research the following problematic question was formulated: does the fact that subjects are studying at Lithuanian Academy of Physical education and study in faculty of sports biomedicine where they get medical knowledge allows for ensuring them good health condition? In case of our research anthropometric data, physical activity and fitness of trunk muscles were treated as indicators of health condition. It was hypothesized that because of the specificity of studies students should be physically active what may have a positive effect on data of their physical development and trunk muscles’ fitness and at the same time on the condition of their back. The following conclusions were reached after analysis of research findings: 1. Indicators of... [to full text]

The topic of this work – „The physical therapy management of a patient with low back pain in sanatorium „Lietuva“.
