One-Year Functional Evaluation of Patient After CD34+ Stem Cell Treatment for Hip Osteoarthritis.

: The etiology and causes of osteoarthritis are still being studied at the cellular and molecular level by many scientists around the world. With advances in knowledge, technology, and the need for complexity, new therapeutic approaches-such as restorative medicine-are being developed to protect the patient from endoprosthesis implantation, aiming to simultaneously restore and maintain physical and psychosocial function. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy after the implantation of CD34+ stem cells into the hip joints of patients with osteoarthrosis.

Development of postural-motor, coordination, and reflex functions in children in the first year of life.

Objective: Aim: This paper discusses the development of postural-motor, coordination, and reflex functions in children during their first year of life. It proceeds in an orderly manner in stages in which the child actively acquires new psychomotor skills (developmental milestones). These milestones are permanent and have a lifelong impact on health and fitness.

The impact of rehabilitation on the recovery of executive functions in stroke patients with different location of the ischemic focus.

Objectives: Cognitive dysfunction is part of the clinical picture of stroke. Most of the executive dysfunctions are diagnosed in the early stage of rehabilitation, a few weeks after the vascular incident. Coexistence of executive dysfunctions with other disorders in stroke patients may hinder patient's functions, slow down the rehabilitation process, and disrupt self-awareness, interpersonal communication, and professional activity in everyday life.

[Stochastic resonance method in physiotherapy - a review of the literature].

Non-linearity is an important feature of many human body structures that may result from deterministic properties of the body and noise. Noise is defined as accidental or irregular fluctuations or disturbances that are not part of the signal. Stochastic resonance (SR), the term originally used in a very specific context, is now widely used to describe any phenomenon in which the presence of noise in a nonlinear system is better for the quality of the output signal than its absence.
