Set Up

In 1976, in order to improve medical services for dispensary patients, a rehabilitation department was set up in the children's polyclinic, which serves 53,000 children, on the basis of physical therapy and physiotherapy departments. The department is equipped with light therapy (including a photarium), heat therapy, vitamin-oxygen cocktails, massages, an inhalatorium, a therapeutic gymnastics room, a therapeutic swimming pool and a room for teaching swimming to infants.

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic and progressive inflammatory process resulting in the destruction of articular and periarticular tissues and leading to the development of functional impairment, permanent deformities and disability. RA affects approximately 1% of the global population and is more common in women than men. Aim: To assess the effects of physical therapy in RA patients. Material and Methods: The study assessed 21 patients with stage III/IV RA. They were managed with physical therapy, including thermotherapy, electrotherapy, laser therapy, magnetic field therapy and light therapy. The data collected in the study were statistically analysed. Results: After treatment, all study patients showed pain reduction, improved well-being, reduced duration of morning joint stiffness, improved ranges of motion in the joints and a better quality of life. Conclusions: 1. Rheumatoid arthritis is a difficult clinical and social problem. 2. The physical therapy used in the study reduced the pain experienced by the patients and the duration of morning joint stiffness and improved the ranges of motion and quality of life. 3. Physical therapy and rehabilitation constitute the main method of treatment of this disorder.

Objectives: A new decision-making process was set up by the Austrian Ministry of Health to regulate coverage of new proposed Extra Medical Services (EMS; German: Medizinische Einzel-Leistung [MEL]) in 2008. As part of the annual decision-making process an independent academic institution (LBI-HTA) is evaluating relevant evidence on these new technologies and provides HTAs, including evidence-based recommendations for decision makers.Methods: About ten EMS assessments are performed annually by the LBI-HTA simultaneously between January and March. Each peer-reviewed report consists of a systematic literature review and critical appraisal of evidence using the GRADE methodology. The generation of numerous reports of good quality standards within the short timeframe is achieved by a standardized workflow with predefined assignment of tasks for all participants.Results: In total, the LBI-HTA performed twenty-five EMS assessments on thirty-three different interventions in the last three years. Coverage was recommended with limitation for eleven (33%) interventions, and not recommended for twenty-two (66%) interventions. The federal health commission decided on acceptance or preliminary acceptance of coverage in seven (22%) cases, rejection in eighteen (55%) cases and changed the status to “subject to approval” in seven (24%) cases.Conclusions: Pre-coverage assessment of new hospital interventions was implemented successfully in Austria. It has proved to be a useful tool to support decision makers with objective evidence when deciding whether or not to reimburse medical services.

Stimulate Tumor Growth

The analysis of the effect of various physical therapy methods on tumor growth in the historical aspect and comparison with our own scientific results were carried out. The role of physical therapy methods such as galvanization (electrophoresis), light therapy (ultraviolet irradiation, lasers of different light wave spectra), alternating currents (UHF, microwave, inductothermia), mechanical vibrations (ultrasound, vibration), magnetic field, pulse currents (DDT, SMT), high voltage currents (darsonvalization), and thermal factors (mud and heat treatment) in stimulation of tumor growth was studied. The results of our own studies confirm the statement that the physiotherapeutic factors used do not stimulate tumor growth, and can have a beneficial influence on the improvement of the quality of life of cancer patients. Thus, there is a growing evidence that physiotherapy is a safe and effective adjunct to cancer treatment.

Background: Port wine needs early age intervention, most effectively by pulse dye laser where about 40-45% improves only and by at least 75% after 5 to 25 sessions. Objectives: To try therapy of port wine stain in adult patients using flame of infrared light. Patients and Methods: Twenty adult patients with facial port wine stain were treated during the period from 2014-2017 years, 11 females and 9 males with ages ranged from 16-35 years with a mean of 25 years. After local anesthesia with 2% xylocaine, direct flame of infrared light that generated from heated red head of needle of diathermy was used. This light therapy was delivered with about 1-2cm away from the port wine and the time of exposure was decided by greyish blanching of the lesion, usually 1-2 minutes needed. Only one session of infrared was delivered. The response to therapy and according to the reduction rate was estimated as follow: 0-25%,>26-50%,>51-75%,>76-100%. Results: Immediately after session, there was edema, swelling. Reduction of erythema of port wine started immediately after infrared exposure and was obvious after two weeks and then slowly faded, with more improvement in the next few months. The reduction rate of port wine stain was ranged between 50-70% after only one session in 19 patients while one patient showed 25% reduction. It was noticed that, whenever the color of the port wine stain is dusky red with thickened nodular lesions, it responded quickly and better to this therapy. Conclusion: Infrared light heat therapy from diathermy needle was an effective mode of therapy in all adult patients with port wine stain. This new technique is easy to be used and non -costly procedure especially when compared with pulse dye laser.

Efforts to develop the financing methods is needed to strengthen the Indonesia’s recently implemented universal health coverage system. Hospital cost data is urgently needed to calculate the unit cost of medical services that is important to evaluate the reimbursement rate setting. The most recent approach to calculate unit cost of medical services in hospital is micro-costing approach. This study aimed to perform a unit cost calculation using micro-costing approach in Indonesia’s district hospital in June-Dec 2016 from the provider perspective. The costing study followed the standard costing method and financial data were obtained through the hospital financial reports. Some financial data were directly measured since this study used bottom-up approach. This study showed that the unit cost was not relevant with the reference price set up by the government. It could be caused by different cost items and cost objects that had been employed in the study since the government tariff’s did not have clear and detailed information about the source of cost calculation. Micro-costing approach was useful as a precise method to calculate unit cost, even though rigorous efforts were needed to complete the data.

Background and Purpose: Spastic cerebral palsy is accompanied with an increase in calf muscles’ spasticity and a decrease in the ankle range of motion. The purpose of the study was to compare muscle inhibitory with functional corrective Kinesio taping applications on children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods: Thirty two children with spastic cerebral palsy were selected from the outpatient clinic of the faculty of Physical Therapy Cairo University. Muscle inhibitory and functional corrective Kinesio taping applications in addition to physical therapy program were applied for three successive months. Digital Goniometer was used to assess the ankle range of motion pre and post Kinesio tape applications. Results: The study revealed that that the functional corrective Kinesio taping is more effective in increasing ankle range of motion than the muscle inhibitory. Conclusion: Functional Corrective Kinesio tape application is recommended for increasing ankle range of motion in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
