    No full text
    Background. Guillain-Barre syndrome is an immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy characterized by acute neurological symptoms, usually following an infectious disease. The discovery of links between coronavirus infection and GBS has made the analysis even more relevant. The aim. To evaluate the efficacy of rehabilitation for patients with GuillainBarre syndrome (GBS). Methods. A systematic literature review was performed according to PRISMA statement. A literature search had begun on January 10, 2022, and ended on May 1, 2022. The search was performed in Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and ClinicalKey databases. Inclusion criteria were research articles published less than five years ago, written in English, evaluating the efficacy of rehabilitation for patients with GBS. Results. The research strategy identified 606 results. After excluding duplicates (n = 230), and after a thorough assessment, six studies were included. Every study showed positive effects of rehabilitation in patients with GBS. Two studies used GBS – Disability Score to evaluate rehabilitation efficacy, which had positive results (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.01). Another study found that supervised, individualized exercise was more efficient than unsupervised home exercise. There was also a study with groups of children with GBS, who had electromyographic biofeedback therapy, that showed positive dynamics (p < 0.05). Another study assessed neuropathic pain and presented a reduction in pain after rehabilitation (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Patients with GBS have achieved significant positive changes in mobility, cognitive function, and performance of daily tasks after rehabilitation treatment. Keywords: Guillain-Barre syndrome, rehabilitation, electrical stimulation, physical therapy, exercise.Tyrimo pagrindimas. Guillain-Barre sindromas – tai imuninio atsako sąlygota poliradikuloneuropatija, pasireiškianti ūmiai atsiradusiais neurologiniais simptomais, dažniausiai atsirandančiais persirgus infekcine liga. Atradus sąsajas tarp persirgtos koronavirusinės infekcijos ir GBS pasireiškimo, analizė tapo dar aktualesnė. Tikslas – įvertinti reabilitacijos veiksmingumą pacientams, sergantiems Guillain-Barre sindromu (GBS). Metodai. Sisteminė literatūros analizė atlikta remiantis PRISMA rekomendacijomis. Mokslinės literatūros paieška buvo pradėta vykdyti 2022 m. sausio 10 d., baigta – 2022 m. gegužės 1 d. Paieška buvo atlikta elektroninėse bazėse – ,,PubMed“, ,,ScienceDirect“ bei ,,ClinicalKey“. Įtraukimo kriterijai: ne senesnės nei penkerių metų publikacijos, straipsnis parašytas anglų kalba, nagrinėjamas reabilitacijos veiksmingumas sergant Guillain-Barre sindromu. Rezultatai. Atlikus paiešką, rastos 606 publikacijos. Pašalinus dublikatus (n=230) bei įvertinus tinkamumo kriterijus, šešios studijos buvo įtrauktos į sisteminę literatūros analizę. Kiekviena iš jų aprašė teigiamus pacientų, sergančių GBS, būklės pokyčius po taikytos reabilitacijos. Reabilitacijos veiksmingumui įvertinti dviejuose tyrimuose buvo naudojamos GBS – neįgalumo skalės, kurias analizuojant, pastebėtas reikšmingai teigiamas rezultatų pokytis (p<0,0001 ir p<0,01). Taip pat nustatyta, jog taikoma kineziterapija, prižiūrint specialistui, yra veiksmingesnė nei namų aplinkoje savarankiškai atliekama mankšta. Tirtos ir vaikų GBS grupės, kurioms taikyta elektromiografinė biologinio grįžtamojo ryšio terapija ir nustatyta teigiama dinamika (p<0,05). Galiausiai, viename tyrime buvo vertinamos neuropatinio skausmo išeitys ir pastebėta, jog po reabilitacijos jis reikšmingai sumažėja (p<0,05). Išvada. Pacientai, sergantys Guillain-Barre sindromu, po taikytos reabilitacijos pasiekė reikšmingai teigiamų pokyčių mobilumo, kognityvinių funkcijų srityse bei kasdienių užduočių atlikime.

    Background. A game of chess represents a legitimate physical and psychological stress due to its strategic and cognitively demanding nature over a long period of time. This very challenging situation has not been thoroughly explored and, to the best of our knowledge, there is no research report that has concentrated on both heart rate variability and energy expenditure for deeper understanding of chess players’ performance. The main aim of the present study was to examine the HRV and EE of chess players before, during and after a competition, as well as the moderate level of running exercise. Methods. The sample comprised 24 (19 men, 5 women; Mage=24.8) volunteer chess players who have been playing chess regularly for at least 5 years. The average National Chess Rating (NCR) of participants was determined as 1526. In addition, a total of ten participants have International Chess Rating (ELO) rating (mean = 1588). We obtained participants’ body mass indexes before the experiment took place. Participants’ HR and HRV were taken through the chess competition, and running exercises took place in 3 different time periods; before (15 min), during (30 min) and after (15 min). Results. Our results indicated that there was a significant difference on HRV between chess competition and running exercises HRV (RMSSD, SDNN, NN50 and RR) (p=.001). Besides, there was a significant difference on participants’ EE between a chess competition and a moderate level of running (p=.001). Conclusions. HRV values determined in chess competition and running exercise are different from each other. Contradictory to our speculative hypothesis, the current results provide that a moderate level of running exercises requires more energy expenditure than a chess game. Keywords: running exercise, mental activity, autonomic nervous system, parasympathetic activity

    Background: The article raises a topical scientific problem regarding the physical inactivity and low physical capacity of the elderly population, the indicators of which, according to researchers in old age, can help predict institutionalization, disability, or even the risk of premature death. Various organizations around the world are striving to increase the number of physically active people by raising awareness and developing preventive measures. In this study, we looked for optimal activities that can effectively improve the physical capacity and quality of life self assessment of older people. Methods: Eurofit tests were used to assess physical capacity (Jones, & Rikli, 2002). The study assessed the physical capacity of elderly people to determine body composition, motor system capacity, skeletal muscle capacity, and cardiovascular capacity. A shortened version of the WHO questionnaire (World Health Organization Quality of Life 100 - WHOQOL-100), WHO-BREF-26 was used to assess quality of life (World Health Organization, 2012). Results: The indicators of quality of life of the subjects did not improve in a statistically significant way after physically energetic activities – exercise, swimming and Nordic walking. The indicators of physical capacity of the subjects improved in a statistically significant way after physically energetic activities. The three-month exercise increased hand muscle strength and body composition, swimming activity increased hand muscle strength, upper body flexibility and motor system performance indicators, Nordic walking statistically significantly improved upper body flexibility. Conclusions: Different physical activity activities significantly improve different components of physicalcapacity. Keywords: physical activity, elderly people, physical capacity

    Aim. To determine and compare short and long-term effects of mobilization with movement and eccentric overload to hand pain and function in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis. Problem of research & hypothesis. The eccentric overload exercises are one of the best methods in tendinopathy treatment. Mobilization with movement is largely used as an effective treatment method for lateral epicondylitis. Only the short-term effects of these methods in lateral epicondylitis are often evaluated, but no studies were found to use these methods in combination and to evaluate their long-term effects. Methods. The study included individuals (n=30) aged 30–54 years who had been diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis. Subjects were tested by assessing their perceived pain using the visual analogue scale (VAS); handgrip strength was assessed by a dynamometer. The QuickDASH questionnaire was used to assess hand function and perceived disability. Subjects were randomly divided into three groups: mobilization with movement group (n=10), eccentric overload group (n=10), and combined group (combined mobilization with movement and eccentric overload exercises) (n=10). All subjects got 10 physiotherapy procedures, short-term effect evaluated after 10 procedures of physiotherapy, long-term effect evaluated after 2, 6 and 12 weeks post treatment course. Results. Study results revealed that all treatment methods had a significant (p<0.05) effect on pain reduction, increase in handgrip strength as well as improvement in hand function and disability. In follow-up assessments at 2, 6 and 12 weeks after the treatment, the most altered indicators of pain intensity, pain-free handgrip strength and hand function were seen in the mobilization with movement group. Conclusions. An application of mobilization with movement in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis had the greatest positive effect on pain intensity, maximum handgrip strength and hand function and disability compared to mobilization with movement combined with eccentric overload and eccentric overload exercises alone. Keywords: lateral epicondylitis, mobilization with movement, eccentric overload, pain intensity, hand pain-free grip strength.Tyrimo pagrindimas. Ekscentrinio virškrūvio taikymas yra vienas geriausių metodų, gydant tendinopatiją. Mobilizacija su judesiu įvardijama kaip veiksminga trumpalaikio poveikio priemonė, gydant lateralinį epikondilitą, tačiau neaišku, ar šie metodai taikomi kombinuotai turi išliekamąjį poveikį. Tikslas – nustatyti ir palyginti mobilizacijos su judesiu ir ekscentrinio virškrūvio trumpalaikį ir išliekamąjį poveikį plaštakos skausmui ir funkcijai, gydant lateralinį epikondilitą. Metodai. Tyrime dalyvavo 30–54 metų asmenys (n=30), kuriems nustatytas lateralinis epikondilitas. Skausmas vertintas vizualine analogine skausmo skale (VAS), plaštakos sugriebimo jėga dinamometrijos metodu. QuickDASH klausimyno pagalba vertinta plaštakos funkcija ir  jaučiama negalia. Tyrimo dalyviai atsitiktinai suskirstyti į tris grupes: mobilizacijos su judesiu grupei taikyta mobilizacija su judesiu, ekscentrinio virškrūvio grupei taikytas ekscentrinis virškrūvis, kombinuotos terapijos grupei kombinuotai taikyta mobilizacija su judesiu ir ekscentrinis virškrūvis. Visų grupių tiriamiesiems buvo atlikta 10 kineziterapijos procedūrų, jų poveikis plaštakos skausmui ir funkcijai, vertintas po 10 kineziterapijos procedūrų ir išliekamajam poveikiui įvertinti – praėjus 2, 6 ir 12 savaičių po kineziterapijos procedūrų. Rezultatai. Visose tiriamosiose grupėse reikšmingai sumažėjo skausmas (p<0,05), padidėjo plaštakos sugriebimo jėga (p<0,05), reikšmingai pagerėjo plaštakos funkcija (p<0,05). Vertinant šiuos parametrus praėjus 2, 6 ir 12 savaičių po užsiėmimų, reikšmingai sumažėjo (p<0,05) skausmo intensyvumas, padidėjo plaštakos sugriebimo jėgos iki skausmo ir plaštakos funkcijos rodikliai mobilizacijos su judesiu grupėje. Išvada. Mobilizacijos su judesiu taikymas turėjo didžiausią teigiamą trumpalaikį ir išliekamąjį poveikį skausmo intensyvumui, maksimaliai plaštakos sugriebimo jėgai su ir iki skausmo bei plaštakos funkcijai ir jaučiamai negaliai, lyginant su pavienio ekscentrinio virškrūvio ir mobilizacijos su judesiu taikomos kartu su ekscentriniu virškrūviu rezultatais. Raktiniai žodžiai: lateralinis epikondilitas, mobilizacija su judesiu, ekscentrinis virškrūvis, skausmo intensyvumas, plaštakos sugriebimo jėga

    Background. As basketball constantly evolves, physical performance becomes more and more important. Physical fitness assessments are the most reliable way to find out at what level a basketball player is prepared to perform. Therefore, the main aim of this research was to determine if the speed, agility and power of under-16-year-old (U16) basketball players is related to their playing positions. Methods. The study included (n = 40) young basketball (aged 14.99 ± 0.84 years) players. The variables included height, body mass, body mass index (BMI), fat-free mass (FFM), the percentage of body fat (BF%), the counter movement jump (CMJ), counter movement jump with free arms (CMJ free arms), squat jump (SJ), 5m, 10m, 15m and 20m sprints, T-test, Illinois test and 505 test. Results. The results showed that centers are taller and heavier than other positions, while the speed, agility and power of forwards are greater than other positions. Conclusions. At the youth basketball level there are differences in anthropometric and physical fitness testing results between positions. This supports the fact that athletes may be more likely to be selected for a given position based on how their anthropometric and athletic abilities pair with the demands of a given position. Keywords: body composition; physical testing; playing position; performance

    Relevance of the research topic. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that the impact of digitalization on the formation of value orientations in the conditions of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is becoming increasingly important, because we live in a digital era, which is determined by algorithms, bits, big data, reformatting the physical world. The purpose of the study is to conceptualize the formation of value orientations in the conditions of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, associated with the formation of the concept of a digital society, a digital person, digital culture and their influence on a person, his consciousness, worldview, culture, identity. The digital society is changing not only what we do, but also who we are and should become. The new technological revolution affects what values ​​a person has, how hierarchical structures are built, how human capabilities expand. Research objectives: 1) to reveal the model of thinking for the formation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution; 2) identify the conditions for the formation of the concept of a digital society, digital person, digital culture in the context of theoretical and methodological foundations; 3) justify the application of the methodology - a set of axiological, synergistic, cultural-creative methods necessary for deep penetration into the essence of digital values; 4) identify revolutionary innovations (from biotechnology to artificial intelligence) that redefine what it means to “be human” in the digital era and what are its value orientations. Digital technologies are pushing the modern boundaries of lifespan, health, cognition and potentiality in ways that were previously considered fantastic. Today we have to think about how to respond to new phenomena like the extension of life, "engineered children", the removal of information from human memory, and much more. Research result. A model of thinking is revealed, which is based on certain digital orientations for the formation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The conditions for the formation of a digital society, a digital person, a digital culture that affect the change in the values ​​of a digital society are identified. The application of the methodology is substantiated - a set of methods of axiological, synergistic, cultural-creative analysis necessary for deep penetration into the essence of the values ​​of the digital society. Revolutionary innovations (from biotechnology to artificial intelligence) have been identified that redefine what it means to “be human” in the digital age. Key words: digital society, digital society values, Fourth Industrial RevolutionАктуальность данного исследования заключается в том, что влияние цифровизации на формирование ценностных ориентаций в условиях Четвертой промышленной революции приобретает все большее значение, потому что мы живем в цифровую эру, которая детерминируется алгоритмами, битами, большими данными, переформатированием физического мира. Раскрыта модель мышления, в основе которой определенные цифровые ориентации для формирования Четвертой промышленной революции. Выявлены условия формирования цифрового общества, цифрового человека, цифровой культуры, которые влияют на изменение ценностей цифрового общества. Выявлены революционные нововведения (от биотехнологий к искусственному интеллекту), которые по-новому определяют, что значит «быть человеком» в цифровую эру. Ключевые слова: цифровое общество, ценности, Четвертая промышленная революци

    Background. Lumbar pain is one of the most common disorders of the musculoskeletal system in workers who sit for prolonged periods of time. Prolonged sitting hours change muscle activity and create tension, which negatively affects the structure of the fascia. Myofascial exercises for the posterior superficial chain have been shown to reduce lumbar pain, but the effect of self-massage and foot exercises on the functional condition of the lumbar in office workers is unclear. The aim. To assess the effect of self-massage and foot exercises on lumbar pain and functional condition in male office workers. Methods. The study included 20 men (25.8 ± 2,6 year) (10 in the experimental group, 10 in the control group) engaged in sedentary work and experiencing chronic non-specific lumbar pain. Before and after the study, a pain intensity assessment was performed using the numerical rating scale (NRS), a functional status assessment using the Oswestry questionnaire, and an assessment of the superficial length of the back superficial chain (lower part) using the toe reach test. For the experimental group, 5 times a week for 10 weeks for 10 minutes, self-massage was applied to each foot; and 3 times a week for 30 minutes, exercises for the feet. Results. After self-massage and foot exercises, the intensity of pain and functional disability decreased significantly (p <0.001), and the length of the back superficial chain (lower part) increased (p <0.001). Functional disability increased in the control group (p <0.001). After the study, functional disability differed significantly between groups (p = 0.02). Conclusion. Self-massage and foot exercises improved functional condition and reduced lumbar pain in male office workers. Keywords: low back pain, fascia, myofascial chain, massage, physiotherapy.Tyrimo pagrindimas. Juosmeninės stuburo dalies skausmas – tai vienas dažniausių griaučių raumenų sistemos sutrikimų, kuriuo skundžiasi sėdimą darbą dirbantys asmenys. Dėl ilgo sėdėjimo valandų pakinta raumenų aktyvumas, atsiranda įtampos, kas neigiamai veikia ir fascijos struktūrą. Yra duomenų, kad taikant miofascijinius pratimus užpakalinei paviršinei grandžiai, veikiant pado fasciją, sumažėja juosmeninės stuburo dalies skausmas, tačiau nėra aišku koks savimasažo ir pratimų pėdoms poveikis sėdimą darbą dirbančių asmenų juosmeninės stuburo dalies funkcinei būklei. Tikslas – nustatyti savimasažo ir pratimų pėdoms poveikį sėdimą darbą dirbančių vyrų juosmeninės stuburo dalies skausmui ir funkcinei būklei. Metodai. Tyrime dalyvavo 20 (25,8 ± 2,6 metų) vyrų (10 tiriamojoje grupėje, 10 – kontrolinėje), dirbančių sėdimą darbą ir jaučiančių juosmeninės stuburo dalies lėtinį nespecifinį skausmą. Prieš ir po tyrimo buvo atliktas skausmo intensyvumo vertinimas skaitmenine analogijos skale (SAS), funkcinės būklės vertinimas Oswestry klausimynu ir užpakalinės paviršinės liemens ir kojų raumenų grandies ilgio vertinimas – kojų piršto siekimo testu. Tiriamajai grupei šešias savaites penkis kartus per savaitę po 10 min. kiekvienai pėdai buvo taikomas savimasažas ir tris kartus per savaitę po 30 min. – pratimai pėdoms. Rezultatai. Po savimasažo ir pratimų pėdoms skausmo intensyvumas ir funkcinė negalia reikšmingai sumažėjo (p<0,001), o užpakalinė paviršinė liemens ir kojų raumenų grandis pailgėjo (p<0,001). Kontrolinėje grupėje funkcinė negalia padidėjo (p<0,001). Po tyrimo funkcinė negalia reikšmingai skyrėsi tarp grupių (p=0,02). Išvada. Savimasažas ir pratimai pėdoms pagerino sėdimą darbą dirbančių vyrų juosmeninės stuburo dalies funkcinę būklę ir sumažino skausmą.  Raktažodžiai: juosmens skausmas, fascija, miofascijinė grandis, masažas, pratimai

    Background. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a multifactorial, progressive chronic lung disease. COPD was rated as the third largest cause of death by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2016. Cough and sputum are present in about 60% of COPD patients. For persons with COPD who are unable to attend the standard centre-based program, home-based pulmonary rehabilitation offers a cost-effective option. The aim. To compare the effects of supervised and self-directed pulmonary rehabilitation on cough and sputum expectoration in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods. Forty COPD-diagnosed subjects with ages between 40 to 60 years were recruited for this randomized clinical trial. The participants were randomly distributed into self-managed (n=18) and supervised (n=19) groups. Data was collected using a 6-minute walk test, the Leicester Cough Questionnaire and a cough and sputum assessment questionnaire at baseline after 6 weeks post treatment. Results. There was a significant difference found between self-managed and supervised groups for six-minute walk test with P value to be P > 0.005. While analysing LCQ, overall no significant difference was observed demonstrating between two groups with P > 0.05; besides, physical factors showed a significant difference during the pre-session which showed P = 0.004. No significant difference was found while analysing values from Cough and sputum assessment questionnaire with P > 0.05 Conclusion. Supervised exercise program and self-managed group show equal improvement in COPD patients. Self-management exercise should be encouraged for active involvement of patient during the treatment and to promote self-preventive behavior. Keywords: sputum, cough, self-management, pulmonary rehabilitation.Tyrimo pagrindimas. Lėtinė obstrukcinė plaučių liga (LOPL) yra daugiaveiksnė, progresuojanti lėtinė plaučių liga. Pasaulio sveikatos organizacija (PSO) 2016 m. trečiąja mirties priežastimi įvardijo LOPL. Kosulys ir skrepliavimas būdingas 60 proc. sergančiųjų. Asmenims, sergantiems LOPL, kurie negali dalyvauti standartinėje priežiūros centre vykdomoje programoje, namuose atliekama plaučių reabilitacija. Tikslas – palyginti prižiūrimos ir savarankiškos plaučių reabilitacijos poveikį kosuliui ir skreplių išsiskyrimui pacientams, sergantiems lėtine obstrukcine plaučių liga. Metodai. Į šį atsitiktinių imčių klinikinį tyrimą buvo įtraukta 40 tiriamųjų su diagnozuota LOPL, kurių amžius nuo 40 iki 60 metų. Dalyviai buvo atsitiktinai suskirstyti į savarankiškai valdomos (n=18) ir prižiūrimos (n=19) reabilitacijos grupes. Duomenys buvo renkami naudojant 6 min. ėjimo testą, Lesterio kosulio klausimyną ir kosulio bei skreplių įvertinimo klausimyną tyrimo pradžioje bei praėjus šešioms savaitėms po gydymo. Rezultatai. Buvo nustatytas reikšmingas skirtumas tarp savarankiškai valdomų ir prižiūrimų grupių 6 min. ėjimo testo metu, kai skirtumas buvo p>0,05. Analizuojant Lesterio kosulio klausimyną reikšmingas skirtumas tarp dviejų grupių, kai p>0,05, nepastebėtas, be to, fiziniai veiksniai reikšmingai pagerėjo (p=0,004). Analizuojant kosulio ir skreplių vertinimo klausimyno vertes, reikšmingo skirtumo nerasta (p>0,05). Išvada. Abi taikytos programos teigiamai veikė tiriamųjų būklę, tačiau nenustatyti reikšmingi skirtumai tarp prižiūrimos ir savarankiškai valdomos mankštos programų. Reikėtų skatinti savikontrolės pratimus, kad pacientas aktyviai dalyvautų gydymo procese ir būtų skatinamas saviprevencinis elgesys.
