Projekt konstrukcji manipulatora rehabilitacyjnego uwzgl臋dniaj膮cego ruch osi obrotu stawu kolanowego
Celem pracy by艂o zaprojektowanie i wykonanie prototypu manipulatora rehabilitacyjnego stawu kolanowego o jednym stopniu swobody, kt贸ry uwzgl臋dnia ruch osi w stawie kolanowym. Manipulator ten ma by膰 wykorzystywany do rehabilitacji dzieci w wieku od 6 do 18 lat, u kt贸rych prowadzone jest wyd艂u偶anie ko艣ci udowej za pomoc膮 aparatu Ilizarowa. W trakcie realizacji projektu opracowano i przetestowano metody opisu trajektorii ruchu w stawie kolanowym. Zaprojektowano i wykonano wst臋pn膮 konstrukcj臋 manipulatora rehabilitacyjnego uwzgl臋dniaj膮cego ruch osi obrotu stawu kolanowego.The aim of the study was to design of the knee rehabilitation manipulator with one degree of freedom, which takes into account the movement of the axis of the knee. The manipulator is to be used for the rehabilitation of children aged 6 to 18 years, who conducted the femoral lengthening using the Ilizarov apparatus. During the project were developed and tested methods of description of the motion trajectory of the knee. Designed and manufactured preliminary rehabilitation manipulator structure that takes into account the movement of the axis of rotation of the knee

Tibial lengthening over humeral and tibial intramedullary nails in patients with sequelae of poliomyelitis: a comparative study
Leg discrepancy is common after poliomyelitis. Tibial lengthening is an effective way to solve this problem. It is believed lengthening over a tibial intramedullary nail can provide a more comfortable lengthening process than by the conventional technique. However, patients with sequelae of poliomyelitis typically have narrow intramedullary canals allowing limited space for inserting a tibial intramedullary nail and Kirschner wires. To overcome this problem, we tried using humeral nails instead of tibial nails in the lengthening procedure. In this study, we used humeral nails in 20 tibial lengthening procedures and compared the results with another group of patients who were treated with tibial lengthening over tibial intramedullary nails. The mean consolidation index, percentage of increase and external fixation index did not show significant differences between the two groups. However, less blood loss and shorter operating time were noted in the humeral nail group. More patients encountered difficulty with the inserted intramedullary nail in the tibial nail group procedure. The complications did not show a statistically significant difference between the two techniques on follow-up. In conclusion, we found the humeral nail lengthening technique was more suitable in leg discrepancy patients with sequelae of poliomyelitis
