Background: Osteoarthrosis (OA) is the most common disease affecting mankind. There are many physiotherapeutic methods of treating OA symptoms. One of them is whole body cryotherapy (WBCT). The aim of this study was to present the impact of WBCT combined with kinesiotherapy on functional efficiency and changes in plasma concentrations of serotonin and melatonin in patients with lumbar spine OA. Material and methods: 60 patients underwent a series of WBCT combined with kinesiotherapy (group A). 60 patients underwent a series of kinesiotherapy alone (group B). Before and after the therapy patients were examined by Rolland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), and …

Background: The current study aimed to examine the quality of life, dysfunction in the neck area and upper body posture among people with moderate myopia and to analyse the relationship between myopia and upper body posture. Material and methods: Participants were 11 people with moderate myopia (MG) and 11 people without myopia (CG). The general quality of life was evaluated with the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), neck area pain with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and discomfort with the Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire (NBQ). The National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ25) was used to measure vision-targeted health. Upper …

Background: Because of the proximity of anatomical structures involved in auditory and vestibular functions, complications concerning the inner ear may lead to problems involving both systems. This study investigated whether static balance and knee proprioception in deaf basketball players are different from those in individuals with normal hearing. Material and methods: 12 deaf national basketball players and 13 individuals with normal hearing were included. Static balance was evaluated using the Biodex-BioSway Balance System. Knee proprioception was assessed using a Dualer IQ Digital Inclinometer with the active angle repetition test. Results: The dominant-side mediolateral stability index and non-dominant-side overall, anteroposterior, and …
