Impact of Cervical Spine Rehabilitation on Temporomandibular Joint Functioning in Patients with Idiopathic Neck Pain.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a 3-week rehabilitation programme focusing only on the cervical region, pain intensity, range of motion in the cervical spine, head posture, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) functioning in subjects with idiopathic neck pain who did not report TMJ pain.

Design: A parallel group trial with follow-up.

Methods: The study included 60 participants divided into 2 groups: experimental: = 25, 27-57 years old, experiencing idiopathic neck pain and who underwent a 3-week rehabilitation programme, and the control, = 35, 27-47 years, who were cervical pain-free.

The influence of cervical spine rehabilitation on bioelectrical activity (sEMG) of cervical and masticatory system muscles.

Background: Coexistence of temporomandibular joint discomfort along with cervical spine disorders is quite common, and is associated with many limitations and adverse symptoms for the patient. Both diagnostics and treatment of these ailments are difficult, and in many cases, the effects of therapy are not satisfactory. This study assessed the impact of a 3-week neck-only rehabilitation programme without direct intervention in the craniofacial area on the bioelectric activity of both the cervical spine and muscles in the craniofacial area among patients with idiopathic neck pain who do not report TMJ pain.

Normative values for Glazer Protocol in the evaluation of pelvic floor muscle bioelectrical activity.

The aim of the study was to evaluate pelvic floor muscle bioelectrical activity in healthy, young, and nulliparous women, and to present normative values for all phases and parameters measured with the Glazer Protocol.In this study, 96 healthy, young, nulliparous women (age 22-27 years; 168.6 ± 5.

The Influence of Plantar Short Foot Muscle Exercises on Foot Posture and Fundamental Movement Patterns in Long-Distance Runners, a Non-Randomized, Non-Blinded Clinical Trial.

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of two kinds of plantar short foot muscles exercise on foot posture and fundamental movement patterns in long-distance runners.

Design: A parallel group non-blinded trial with 6-week follow-up.

Methods: Twenty five long-distance runners aged 22-35 years.

The effect of menopause on bone tissue in former swimmers and in non-athletes.

Background: An increased loss of bone density during the first years after menopause induces osteoporosis.

Objectives: The aim of the research presented in this paper was to ascertain the difference in the rate of involutional changes in bone tissue in former athletes and in non-athletes of the same age.

Material And Methods: The research involved 18 former swimmers and 18 females of similar age who had never practiced sports.

Selected atherosclerosis risk factors in youth aged 13-15 years .

Introduction: The high frequency of cases of circulatory system conditions in Europe and other countries around the world requires scientific research to define risk factors of early atherosclerotic changes. The aim of the present study was to define which students are at danger of developing atherosclerosis by means of measuring cholesterol and triglyceride levels in blood as well as defining the correlation between atherosclerosis risk factors and arterial blood pressure, physical fitness and efficiency of the subjects.

Material/methods: The research covered 167 students of Public Junior High School 1 in Biala Podlaska aged 13-15 years.
