    Introduction: Gait analysis can be defined as a measurement, description and assessment of human locomotion. The development of quantitative gait analysis methods and their increasing application to pathological gait assessment in children has created an urgent need for establishing normative data. The spatio-temporal gait parameters must be compared with valid reference data for the appropriate interpretation. Objective: The aim of this study was the assessment of the spatio-temporal gait parameters of 9 years old healthy children, considering the subject’s gender and the potential difference between right and left lower limb. Additional purpose of our study was to develop own reference data for the gait analysis in this age group. Material and methods: 42 healthy, nine years old children (19 girls, 23 boys), participated in this study. 3D gait analysis was performed using the computerized optoelectronic system (BTS Smart, Italy). Basic spatio-temporal gait parameters (percentage share of the stance and swing phase, right and left lower limb step lenght, as well as step frequency and average gait speed, were anylysed. Results: Our research showed no statistically significant influence of gender, and no differences between the right and left lower limbs on most of the gait parameters in the study group.

    Extracorporeal shock wave therapy in the treatment of plantar fasciitis
    (Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Wyszyńska, Justyna; Podgórska-Bednarz, Justyna; Świtała, Anna; Skrzypiec, Julian
    Plantar fasciitis is reported as the most common cause of chronic plantar heel pain. An extra-corporeal shock waves have been used in the treatment of plantar fasciitis with promising results. The purpose of this paper was to present results from randomized controlled trials to estimate of the effectiveness of ESWT in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. Method: MEDLINE, EBCO, PubMed, ScienceDirect and SpringerLink databases were searched, using the keywords: ESWT, plantar fasciitis, shock wave, randomized clinical trials. Results: Ten randomized clinical trials was critically appraised. Eight studies report significant decreases in pain symptoms and better function scores associated with an extra-corporeal shock wave therapy. However two studies show no meaningful improvement of clinical outcome in patients treated with extracorporeal shock wave therapy for chronic plantar fasciitis compared with placebo. Summary: In most cases shockwaves therapy was a safe and effective method for treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis and helped the patient to avoid surgery for recalcitrant heel pain but warrants further larger studies.
