Relationships between kinesiotherapy methods used in rehabilitation and the course of lost function recovery following surgical treatment of cranio-cerebral trauma.

Introduction And Aim: This paper aims to outline the relationships between kinesiotherapy methods used in rehabilitation and the recovery of the patient's ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), improvement of functional condition, regression of pareses and improvement of conscious state following surgical treatment of traumatic subdural haematomas.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted on 84 patients treated surgically for traumatic subdural haematomas, divided into two groups. The key differentiating factor was the kinesiotherapy method used in rehabilitation.

Influence of the structural deformity of the spine on the gait pathology in scoliotic patients.

Scoliosis is not only a spinal deformity, but also leads to the development of a pathological gait pattern. Nearly all studies examining walking in scoliotic patients report some degree of gait abnormality, however the results are somewhat contradictory. Therefore the aim of this study is to explore the relationship between gait pathology and degree of scoliotic deformity in a group of patients with idiopathic scoliosis.

Does the gait pathology in scoliotic patients depend on the severity of spine deformity? Preliminary results.

The gait pattern in scoliotic patients differed from the gait pattern of the healthy subjects. The aim of the present paper was to describe the dependence of the gait pathology on the severity of the spinal deformity. Thirty five patients with confirmed scoliosis participated in the study.
