Резюме. Мета: визначення впливу розробленої програми фізичної терапії на динаміку якості життя жінок після абдомінального родорозрішення (кесарів розтин – КР) у післяпологовому періоді Методи. Обстежено 112 жінок після пологів. Групу порівняння склали 47 жінок, у яких пологи відбулись природним шляхом. Основну групу 1 склали 32 жінки після КР, які відновлювались самостійно. Основну групу 2 склали 33 жінки після КР, які проходили післяпологову реабілітацію впродовж 12 місяців. Розроблена програма включала: кінезітерапію, бандаж черевної порожнини, кінезіологічне тейпування, масаж живота та загальний; оздоровче харчування, психологічну релаксацію, освіту жінок. Визначення якості життя проводили за опитувальником SF-36 4 рази: у ранньому та пізньому післяпологовому періодах; через 6 та 12 місяців після пологів. Результати дослідження. Визначено, що у жінок після пологів знизились показники фізичних та психічних компонентів якості життя. У ранньому післяпологовому періоді жінки після КР мали гірші показники фізичного та рольового функціонування, загального здоров’я, життєздатності за SF-36 порівняно із жінками після родорозрішення природним шляхом (р<0,05). Застосування засобів фізичної терапії дозволило до кінця пізнього пологового періоду жінкам після КР за всіма досліджуваними параметрами досягнути якості життя жінок групи порівняння (р>0,05). Жінки, які перенесли КР, але відновлювались самостійно, за більшістю критеріїв якості життя (крім соціального функціонування), змогли досягнути рівнів жінок, що народжували природним шляхом, тільки через рік. Висновки. Засоби фізичної терапії доцільно призначати з першого дня післяпологового періоду з метою покращення якості життя і, відповідно, післяпологового відновлення жінок та швидкого повернення їх до повноцінного функціонування.

INTRODUCTION: Health promotion policies for encouraging elderly to remain active, independent and, effectively have a positive effect on their quality of life. OBJECTIVE: To verify the effects of a low-intensity group-based physical therapy program on quality of life among community-dwelling elderly women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It was carried out a randomized controlled trial. Seventeen women (67.8 ± 4.9 years old) that completed 12-week training program and 10 women (68.9 ± 5.7 years old) that were included in control group answered the abbreviated version for World Health Organization Quality of life Questionnaire - WHOQOL-bref at baseline and after 12 weeks. Exercise group performed stretching, resistance and balance training. Intragroup and intergroup analysis was made using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U tests, respectively. The level of significance used for all comparisons was 5%. Furthermore, it was determined the Reliable Change Index (RCI) as part of JT Method. RESULTS: Exercise group presented a significant improvement for Psychological domain (p = 0.047) after 12-week physical therapy program. Otherwise, control group presented a significant worsening for overall (p = 0.01), physical (p = 0.01) and psychological (p = 0.008) domains. Exercise group presented two participants with positive reliable change (PRC) for social domain, two participants with PRC for Environment domain. Overall and Physical domain presented three participants with PRC. Psychological domain presented four participants with PRC and one with negative reliable change. CONCLUSION: A low-intensity group-based physical therapy program may contribute in order to maintain quality of life and improve some psychological aspects among community-dwelling elderly women.

Abstract Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) comprise a group of diseases that affect not only the temporomandibular joint, but also different areas extrinsic to the joints. Quality of life has been the subject of numerous studies in the Health area, especially aimed at people with chronic diseases, such as TMD. Objective: To evaluate effects of a physical therapy protocol on the quality of life of patients with temporomandibular disorder. Methods: Blinded, prospective, clinical trial, with 60 patients of both genders, aged between 18 and 70 years with TMD diagnosis attended in the clinic of Ribeirão Preto School of Dentistry. The patients were divided into two groups, with one group, in addition to dental treatment, receiving a physical therapy protocol and the other group dental treatment only, for 5 weeks. The measurement of quality of life was obtained through the generic SF-36 questionnaire, at the beginning and end of the proposed protocol. Results: The patients to whom the physical therapy protocol was applied associated with dental care presented increased scores in all the domains of the questionnaire. In the group that received only dental treatment, improvements were only found in the domain related to pain. Conclusion: The application of a physical therapy protocol was able to improve the quality of life of patients with temporomandibular disorder.

Patients With Epilepsy

Introduction: Epilepsy is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system. According to the World Health Organization, it accounts for 1% of the global burden of disease worldwide. Pharmacotherapy remains the primary therapeutic tool in this disease. However, more and more emphasis is placed on approaching this group of patients in an interdisciplinary manner, taking their various needs into account: social, professional, economic or psychological. Attention is also paid to the positive impact of physical activity on the quality of life of patients with epilepsy. The patients with diagnosed epilepsy often complain of a feeling of instability not reflected in standard neurological examination. Early detection of postural control disorders is possible using an objective research tool which is the modified CTSIB test (Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction and Balance). Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to assess the influence of targeted physical therapy on the quality of life among patients with diagnosed epilepsy of unknown etiology using the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire. Materials and methods: The study included 11 professionally active adults with diagnosed generalized epilepsy of unknown etiology, treated at the Department or Outpatient Clinic of Neurology at John Paul II Specialist Hospital in Kraków. Finally, out of the 11 recruited patients (5 women and 6 men), 1 patient was excluded from the study due to a history of craniocerebral trauma. Patients were examined 3 times every month using EEG and the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire. Additionally, between the 2nd and the 3rd month of the pilot study, the study group underwent physical therapy focused on balance disorders using the Biodex SD stabilometric platform. Results: Overall, the quality of life index measured using the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire in the study group improved after the completion of targeted physical therapy. Conclusions: 1. Generalized epilepsy of unknown etiology results in a significant deterioration in the quality of life of patients, which may also be accompanied by disorders of postural control. 2 A targeted program of physiotherapy in the treatment of patients with generalized epilepsy of unknown etiology may has a positive effect on their quality of life. null

It is a chronic progressive degenerative disorder of extra pyramidal system caused by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and characterized by tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and disturbance of gait and posture.The neuropsychiatric symptoms of PD may include depression, psychosis, apathy, impulse control disorders that are linked with the poor quality of life due to the progression of disease. Despite, cognitive impairment in PD is of great significance in terms of therapeutic approaches in order to deal with motor deficits of disorder. Multiple studies have revealed that exercise has been proven to be effective for the maintenance of health and well-being in Parkinson’s. More importantly it is shown to play a significant role in addressing secondary prevention based on strength, flexibility, functional independence as well as gait and balance respectively.To evaluate the effect of physical therapy on posture and quality of life in subject with Parkinson’s diseaseSource of Data: Radha multispecielist Hospital, Shreeji Hospital, Parul Shevashram,Venus.Sampaling Method: Convenience,samplingSample Size: 30 subject were included (15 in) each groupsSelection f Sample: convenientStudy Design: experimentalStudy Duration: 30 min/day/7 week(1)Patient with 50 to 75 years of age (2)Participants patient diagnosed with Parkinson’s diseases (3) Both gender are included (4) The participants were at stage 3 of Parkinson’s disease, according the Hoehn and Yahr scale.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of Proprioceptif Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and Mulligan concepts on the pain, functional level and quality of life in the patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Methods: This study was carried out on 40 patients (26 females, 14 males), mean age 50,3±1,13 years, who had been diagnosed as SIS admitted to the physical therapy and rehabilitation clinic. Before the beginning measurements all the patients were separated to 2 groups according to simple random table. Standard physical therapy and PNF were given to the Group I (n=20); and Standard physical therapy and Mulligan Concept were added to the Group II (n=20). In the evaluation process the demographic data of the patients, pain severity (VAS), functional level (Constant shoulder score) and quality of life (SF-36) measurement were done. The measurements were done before treatment, after treatment and 3 month later. Results: Before treatment, VAS score, Constant shoulder score and quality of life scores were similar and there were no statistically differences between two groups (p>0.05). After treatment and 3 month later, VAS score decreased, Constant Shoulder score increased in both groups(p<0.05). For Group I, SF-36 physical component and mental component scores increased after treatment (p<0.05), but mental component score was not change in Group II (p>0.05). However, there were no statistically significant differences in the VAS score, Constant Shoulder Score, and mental health score between Groups I and II after treatment and 3 month (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The results of our study suggested that PNF and Mulligan concept could influence positively on shoulder pain, functional level of upper extremity and quality of life in patients with SIS and these effects were similar.
