Background: Daily physical training is safe and brings many benefits to pregnant woman. When there are no contraindications, regular exercise of gymnastics has a positive effect on the overall physical fitness, well-being of the woman. In addition it reduces the symptoms of typical pregnancy. Material and methods: The study involved pregnant women who were in the second or third trimester during the study. The study group consisted of 45 healthy pregnant women (n=45). During the research, range of motion and the shape of the curvature of the lumbar spine using the CMS10 Zebris device was performed. Additionally, the author’s questionnaire was also used, which allowed to gather important information about the practiced physical activity in the pregnancy of the surveyed women and check the knowledge about physical activity during pregnancy. The questionnaire was also used to gather basic information such as age, weight, height or education. Results: In the examined group of pregnant women the mean flexion of the lumbar spine to the front was 54.5⁰, to the back 16⁰, to the left 23⁰ and to the right 24.5⁰. The average spine turn to the left is 16.5⁰ and to the right 15.5⁰. 100% of the surveyed women, responded that physical activity during pregnancy is recommended, 82.22% of them are active during pregnancy. The most common physical activities are walking, next is swimming and special exercises for pregnant women and yoga. The fewest group were the women exercising Pilates. 31.11% of women exercise three times a week, 37.78% - twice a week, 22.22% - one a week and 6.67% less than one a week. 64.44% of women feel good thanks to practiced physical activity, 31.11% of women say that exercises improve their wellbeing. Conclusions: Regular physical activity has a positive impact on the wellbeing of women which participated in the research. Women’s knowledge about physical activity during pregnancy is quite high although it does not always translate to real world performed exercises. The study did not show the impact of physical activity on the mobility of the lumbar spine, but the study should be continued at a larger study group

Physiotherapeutic treatment after break and reconstruction of ACL

Injuries of the knee joint are amongst the most common diseases that affect the human body. It is estimated that they affect about 15-30% of all body injuries. Beside the lateral ligaments the most the structure exposed for the any kind of damage is ACL. Concerning the cruciate ligaments, as much as 90% of the injuries are related to ACL [52]. Most often the damage to this structure occurs when practicing sports, both contact (for example basketball, football, martial arts) and non-contact like skiing

The role of the rehabilitation in the prevention and treatment of obesity – an editorial article

Obesity according to the WHO is an epidemic of modern times, because it affects a large number of people in all age groups around the world. This disease itself makes it difficult for the patients suffering from it to function, but above all carries a lot of complications. These include diseases of the cardiovascular system, stroke, osteoarthritis, diseases of the digestive system. Obesity significantly increases the risk of death, which is why it is so important to start treatment as soon as possible. The most important goal of therapy is the reduction of body weight, which can only be achieved by combining a properly selected diet and physical activity. It is extremely important to choose the optimal training plan, because the fight against obesity will be effective only if patients increase daily energy expenditure

Physiothreapeutic treatments in infants with congenital hip dysplasia

Congenital dysplasia is the most common congenital orthopaedic defect in children. Its occurrence is estimated at 2-4% of newborns (1:400), where majority of cases concern girls (85%). This disease was observed in greater numbers in people living in Central, Southern, Eastern Europe and the Sami people. This distortion may be caused by genetic and mechanical factors or incorrect prophylaxis during childcare processes. Treatment depends on the degree of damage, the age of the child and the speed of diagnosing the disease. Surgical, conservative and prophylactic treatment is used, and in each one of these physiotherapy plays and important role. Physiotherapy in the treatment of hip joints is used in form of kinesiotherapy, massage and the selection of appropriate orthopedic equipment to correct the defect and maintain the therapeutic effect obtained during surgical treatment. It also allows and helps in maintaining proper function of limbs

The Storage Ability of Broccoli after 1-Methylcyclopropene Treatment

The study evaluated the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment on broccoli quality and storage ability. Broccoli ‘Parthenon’ was treated the day after harvest with 1.0 or 3.0 cm3·m−3 1-MCP. The treatment was performed at 5 °C for 20 h, and then the plant material was stored at 0–1 °C for 30 or 60 d. After 30 d of refrigerated storage, broccoli was transferred to conditions simulating retail (15 °C) for 6 d. During 30 d of storage, the broccoli crowns maintained excellent quality. The fleshy stalks were slightly inferior due to the darkening of the leaf scar areas. After 60 d, there was a marked reduction in broccoli quality. Still, the positive effect of 1-MCP treatment on broccoli was observed as inhibiting the senescence of the remaining petiole fragments. During shelf life after 30 days of cold storage, broccoli treated with 1-MCP retained better quality of the crowns and fleshy stems, evident after six days of shelf life evaluation. The study did not find that 1-MCP treatment inhibited the respiration rate of broccoli, or ethylene production
