Remodelling the protocol of lower limb constraint-induced movement therapy: a pilot randomized controlled trial
During constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), the tasks practiced have been traditionally measured using hours. Recent studies have indicated that it is equally effective and easier when the number of repetitions is used for this purpose. Aim: The aim of this…

Motor control of functional tasks: a review
The determinant of successful rehabilitation for patients with neurological conditions is the ability to locate the source of a particular problem and to understand the interactions of many components to ensure efficient task-oriented movement. The sensory systems gather information about…

Impact of physiotherapy in auditory processing disorders in children with autism spectrum
Background: Auditory processing disorders (APDs) are characterised by impaired recognition and interpretation of sounds from the external environment. Methods: The study involved 34 boys aged 4-9 years diagnosed with autism attending physiotherapy at the National Autism Society of Kielce. The…
Number of repetitions versus duration in hours as dose measures of task practice during constraint-induced movement therapy: A pilot randomized controlled trial
Background: Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is used in rehabilitation of the upper limbs after stroke. However, its protocol, especially the issue of doses, seems not clear as duration of task practice in hours is used as a measure of dose.…

Effect of different body positioning on lung function variables among patients with bronchial asthma
Background: Bronchial asthma is often characterized by a significant reduction in lung function variables. Different postures correlate with patients’ lung functions. The assessment of the lung function in different positions among asthmatic individuals might prove useful. Aim of the Study:…
Physical rehabilitation of males-individuals with low back pain in the remission stage, using the healthy fitness tools
Background: In the article were based and developed the physical rehabilitation program with using a fitness tools aimed at restoring functional condition of individuals with low back pain in the remission. Also, there was developed a method of assessing the…
Caring at the risk of dying? A knowledge, attitude and practice study of Nigerian physiotherapists on Ebola Virus Disease prevention and care
Background: The fatality of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) epidemics has serious implications on willingness to provide care for the infected persons, persons under investigation (PUI) or survivors. This study assessed knowledge, attitude and practice of Nigerian physiotherapists on EVD…
Influence of the pelvis position and ischial support in the seated position on the column curvatures
Background: An adequate seated position may relieve and prevent many of cervical or lumbar pains. The long lasting seated positions are likely to result in non-physiological ranges of motion, which can be considered a risk factor for lumbar and cervical…
