Introduction. Muscle strengthening to improve joint stability is widely used in the rehabilitation process, and the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation is a useful tool, but the use of Aussie current still has little documentation about its effectiveness. Aim. To verify if there is a dose-response effect to Aussie current, both in the strength and in the static and dynamic stability of the deep pelvic lumbar muscles. Material and methods. 39 volunteers divided into four groups, one control and three electrostimulation with intensity variation, one with intensity at the contraction threshold (GT), another with intensity maintained at 20% more (G20), and another with intensity maintained at 30% more (G30) than the intensity at the contraction threshold. The intervention lasted four weeks, with three weekly sessions lasting 15 minutes. Initially and after the intervention period, the strength and stability of the deep muscles of the pelvic lumbar region were measured in a static and dynamic manner by a biofeedback pressure unit. Results. There was a significant increase of pressure under the lordoses in the pre- and post-evaluation moments, there were no differences in the evaluation of indirect force (dynamic stability), but there was an increase in the time for GT. The effect sizes presented advantages for the electrostimulated groups in static stability. Conclusion. The doses used did not promote significant statistical differences, but the effects were positive for the electrostimulated groups, especially with respect to static stability.
Spinal ranges of motion in boys with pectus excavatum

Aim. The lack of comparative research into the spinal ranges of motion and somatic features of children with pectus excavatum and healthy children was the reason for taking up this topic. The aim of this work was to compare the spinal ranges of motion and basic somatic features of boys with pectus excavatum with healthy children. Material and methods. The study included 30 boys from Sucha Beskidzka commune. Fefteen subjects had pectus excavatum, whereas the remaining 15 boys were healthy and they constituted the control group. The mean age of the subjects was 13,3 ± 0,4 and 13,5 ± 0,7. The study was carried out in 2008. The spinal range of motion was measured with the use of the SFTR method. Also, body height, body mass as well as chest inspiratory and expiratory volume were measured. Results. Smaller ranges of motion of the spine were observed in boys with pectus excavatum. Significant differences concerned lateral flexions of thoracolumbar spine, the flexion of the lumbar spine, as well as the flexion of the whole spine. Significant differences between the groups were found in the chest circumference. Conclusions. Significant differences in some ranges of motion of the spine between the groups are caused by rachitis. Statistically significant differences in chest circumference indicate that rachitis exerts negative influence on the range of motion of the chest and on the respiratory system.
Wpływ digitalizacji życia na pogorszenie stanu zdrowia młodego człowieka
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Garwol, Katarzyna
Artykuł podejmuje problematykę negatywnego wpływu nowoczesnych technologii teleinformatycznych, w tym komputera i telefonu komórkowego, na zdrowie młodego człowieka. Wpływ ten objawia się chorobami kręgosłupa, pogorszeniem wzroku, obniżeniem poziomu kondycji fizycznej, rozdrażnieniem wywołanym przez smog elektromagnetyczny, narażeniem na choroby nowotworowe poprzez promieniowanie wytwarzane przez telefony komórkowe oraz stacje bazowe, a także uzależnieniem, zwłaszcza od obioru nowych informacji w postaci poczty e-mail lub SMS-ów. Te wszystkie zagrożenia dotyczą zwłaszcza ludzi młodych, dla których technologia teleinformatyczna jest naturalnym składnikiem życia i rozwoju, który odbywa się w czasie wielkiego i szybkiego postępu technologicznego.
