Background: This study aimed to evaluate the functional status of the biceps and triceps brachii muscles using tensiomyography in individuals diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Methods: The study involved 19 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) aged 19–46 years and 24 healthy individuals aged 20–25 years. Each person underwent a tensiomyographic e...

Background: The aim of the study was to assess the difference in hip adduction in extended joint position in girls with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods: The study group consisted of 69 girls aged 9 to 14 years. The observational cross-sectional study involved interview, the clinical examination (body weight measurement, measuring the...

Background: The pelvic girdle is an important component of the human stabilization system, both during the maintenance of an upright standing position and during motor activities. Frequent functional and structural asymmetries within it can affect the structure and function of many organs and systems of the human body. The mechanism of their occurr...

Background: The study aimed to assess the dynamics of changes in the torques of derotating and redressing forces acting on the apexes of deformation curvature arches during active, kyphosis-inducing exercises using the D4S device. Methods: The study group included 12 girls aged 9 to 10 years (age X = 9.36, SD = 1.52; weight X = 31.34 kg, SD = 3.28;...

Purpose The objective of the study was to initially validate the hypothesis about the relationship between the pelvic tilt angle in the saggital plane and the functional state of muscles stabilising the lumbo-pelvic-hip (LPH) complex expressed as a change in their stiffness in a tensiomyography examination. Materials and methods Forty five women a...

Objective The lateral abdominal wall muscles and their recruitment are the subjects of common interest for researchers due to their clinical importance and practical application in athletes and non-athletes. So far, no repeatable method aimed at activating specific muscles by passive tilting has been discovered. In this paper, changes in the morpho...

Rhythm perception and synchronisation is musical ability with neural basis defined as the ability to perceive rhythm in music and synchronise body movements with it. The study aimed to check the errors of synchronisation and physiological response as a reaction of the subjects to metrorhythmic stimuli of synchronous and pseudosynchronous stimulatio...

Purpose The study aimed to test the feasibility of using tensiomyography to assess the functional status of the latissimus dorsi and erector spinae muscles in girls with C-shaped low back scoliosis. Materials and methods Twenty-five girls aged 13–15 took part in an observational (cross-sectional) study. The examination involved measurements using...

Futsal is a discipline with high training and nutritional requirements. Despite growing research interest in athletes' diet and nutritional status, no studies have examined Polish male futsal players. Therefore, the aim of this descriptive study was an assessment of the dietary intake and nutritional status in a selected group of futsal players. Th...

Introduction Symmetry is one of the criteria of correct body posture in upright position. The spatial positioning of the pelvic girdle is crucial to it. Functional and structural asymmetries within the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex can have a significant influence on the structure and functions of many human body organs and systems. The aim of the study...

Posture disorder affects more and more people in every age and social group, causing a huge drop in energy (tiredness, depression) or even nerve compression. The early assessment allows introducing therapy that minimizes the influence on everyday life. In the presented approach authors focused on the analysis of thermal images. The research group c...

Abstract. The article presents the results of a preliminary study analysing the physiological parameters obtained during exercises that teach the patient’s correct body posture while sitting. Electrodermal activity (EDA), blood volume pulse (BVP), and electromyographic (EMG) signals were recorded and analysed during the training process for positio...

Background: Disturbances in pelvic girdle tilt can cause compensatory changes affecting postural dysfunctions, and can lead to hip and groin strain changes and back pain. However, we still have no clear information on the normative values of pelvic girdle tilt and mobility. Objective: The study aimed to (1) evaluate the position and mobility of...

The paper describes an innovative Polish method “Pressio” developed by Janusz Łęczyński (1934–2004) and Andrzej Zaleszczuk (1937–2021). The scientific grounds of the method are presented, which use the the most relevant knowledge based mainly on Robert Roaf’s theory and Yves Cotrel’s principle. Also, the self-corrector is presented – a device desig...

Postural disorders, their prevention, and therapies are still growing modern problems. The currently used diagnostic methods are questionable due to the exposure to side effects (radiological methods) as well as being time-consuming and subjective (manual methods). Although the computer-aided diagnosis of posture disorders is well developed, there...

Evidence is being found for the diversity of factors which can cause scoliosis. These factors range from a lifestyle to genes and intracellular phenomena taking place in human body. To treat idiopathic scoliosis, different equipment and kinesiotherapy exercises are used. If preventive methods prove ineffective, or sometimes parallel to them, orthop...

For years, body posture, its defects and methods of therapy have been the point of interest of specialists in many fields. The observed civilizational progress, sedentary lifestyle, and excessive use of electronic gadgets electronic gadgets are unfortunately associated with the growth of postural problems. This is associated with the increasing inc...

In terms of pelvic torsion muscle tissue seem to be underestimated. However, it is not clear what is the actual place of muscles in cause and effect chain of posture abnormality pathogenesis. Aim of the study was to characterize morpho-functionally specific group of superficial muscles, that are crucial in human bipedal stability, especially in ter...

Background: Children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities (IDs) are an identified group with postural disturbances resulting from a lack of integration among the visual, vestibular and proprioceptive systems. The insufficient level of maturity of the sensory systems is at least partly responsible for disturbances in maintaining body bala...

The aim of the study was to evaluate selected aspects of the ability to maintain body balance in young adults and to analyze the potential impact of selected variables on the stabilometric indicators. 44 students of physiotherapy were included. The group was characterized by an questionnaire performed twice, a few days apart. Intraclass correlation...

The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare selected parameters related to maintaining the body balance among Polish and Slovak children in aspect of factors influencing the formation of indirect body posture. The research covered a group of 59 children in Poland and a group of 71 children in Slovakia, aged 10 years. The research program inclu...

Purpose: The quality of body posture and its balance depends on the efficiency of the receptors, the good work of the central nervous system integrating and coordinating the postural system and the effective musculoskeletal system. Physical activity of people with intellectual disability can stimulate the processes of improving the posture and its...

Background: Assessment of the foot arch is an important element of posture examination. In clinical practice, different methods are used. Reliability and repeatability of the techniques raises many doubts. Objective: Development and verification of our own, automated diagnostic algorithm for evaluation of the longitudinal arch of the foot with t...
