Analysis of Results After Surgical Application of Bone Marrow Aspirate Stem Cell Concentrate in the Treatment of Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head.

: Avascular necrosis or osteonecrosis of the femoral head is defined as a pathological process that results in a critical reduction in the blood supply to the hip head with increased intraosseous pressure. Avascular necrosis is a multifactorial disease. The treatment used so far consists of transosseous decompression of the femoral head and is the most commonly used method in the early stages of osteonecrosis.

Effect of Exercises on Quality of Life in Patients with Postmenopausal Osteoporosis - Randomized Trial.

Background: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterised by a low bone density and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to decrease of its strength and increased risk of fracture. Drug therapy decreases the risk of fracture, thus influencing on the mechanism of bone remodelling. Non-pharmacological interventions include specific exercises for osteoporosis that improve muscle strength and balance, decrease pain and improve quality of life.

Effects of High - Intensity Laser in Treatment of Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain.

Background: Chronic low back pain lasts longer than 12 weeks and is characterised by pain, muscle weakness, reduced functional ability and psychosocial burden.

Aim: To compare the effects of two physical modalities, high-intensity laser against ultrasound therapy in the treatment of patients with chronic low back pain.

Material And Methods: This was a prospective, monocentric, controlled clinical study comprising a group of 54 patients at the age between 25 and 65 years.

The approach of physiatrists to low back pain across Europe.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is the most common type of musculoskeletal pain, thus it is one of the most commonly encountered conditions in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine. The physicians who are primarily responsible for the nonsurgical management of LBP are physiatrists.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the approaches of physiatrists to low back pain across Europe.

The Effectiveness of Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy for Chronic Achilles Tendinopathy: A Case Report with 18 Months Follow-Up.

Background: Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a pathological state resulting from repetitive loading or stress on the tendon. The article aims to evaluate the effects of the low - energy radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy (RESWT) in the treatment of the adult with chronic insertional Achilles tendinopathy (AT) after the unsuccessful conservative treatment, with 18 months follow - up evaluation.

Case Report: We report the case of a 55 years - old male suffering from severe right posterior heel pain for 4 months.

Physiotherapeutic interventions in multiple sclerosis across Europe: Regions and other factors that matter.

Background: A wide variety of interventions exists in physical therapy (PT), but knowledge about their use across different geographical regions is limited. This study investigated the use of PT interventions in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) across Europe. It aimed to determine whether regions differ in applying interventions, and explore whether factors other than regions play a role in their use.

The organisation of physiotherapy for people with multiple sclerosis across Europe: a multicentre questionnaire survey.

Background: Understanding the organisational set-up of physiotherapy services across different countries is increasingly important as clinicians around the world use evidence to improve their practice. This also has to be taken into consideration when multi-centre international clinical trials are conducted. This survey aimed to systematically describe organisational aspects of physiotherapy services for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) across Europe.

The Role of Rehabilitation in the Management of Patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease: Report of Two Cases.

Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a hereditary disease with signs of chronic non-progressive motor-sensory neuropathy which is characterised by symmetric muscle atrophy and weakness of the distal portion of lower extremities.

Aim: The aim is to present two cases with peroneal muscular atrophy, applied rehabilitation procedures and rehabilitation outcome.

Material And Methods: Patient DR, aged 51, and patient KH, aged 78.

Long-Term Outcome after Rehabilitation of Bilateral Total Hip Arthroplasty in Renal Transplant Recipient - A Case Report.

Introduction: Total hip replacement is generally proposed for renal transplant patients with avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to report the long-term outcome after rehabilitation of bilateral total hip arthroplasty in a patient with renal transplantation suffering from avascular osteonecrosis of the both femoral heads.

Material And Method: The patient S.
