Causal association between physical activity and knee osteoarthritis

The LPA and MVPA within a specific dose range were associated with a reduced risk of KOA, and high-dose PA
was associated with an increased risk of KOA

Slide_The_seasonal

Seasonal variability of maximal power of upper and lower limbs in ju-jitsu athletes

BJJ athletes who regularly train throughout all the year exhibited lack ofsignificant differences in performance of ultra-short, supramaximal efforts. The above refer both to upper and lower limbs.

Demographically adjusted demand for health care hospital treatment services for the years: 2027; 2033; 2039 and 2045 in Poland

The projections presented provide a set of visions for the future of population health needs

Slide_The_Injured

Injury patterns in collegiate demonstration taekwondo athletes using association rules

The conjunction of the results of these pioneering observations with the most general mission of innovative agonology is an evidence-based argument that this science meets social expectations

Slide_Correlation2

Correlations between the intensity of health behaviour and the quality of life of people practicing karate, football and physical recreation

Moderate correlations between the intensity of health behaviours and the respondents' quality of life do not fully explain these relationships

Slide_Correlation2

Gender difference in health benefits from taekwondo participation as a physical activity ‒ meta-analysis

Although taekwondo is an effective physical health promotion exercise for both men and women, gender differences in agility and flexibility improvements were found

The mediating effect of challenge on the relationship between competition preparation, deliberate practice, and goal commitment in combat sport athletes

These findings suggest that fostering a challenge-oriented mindset may enhance athletes’ engagement in purposeful training and strengthen their commitment to goals.

Abstract

Background and Study Aim: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), often leading to paraplegia or tetraplegia, affects many aspects of life and requires complex environmental adjustments, new responsibilities for patients, and their caregivers. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) presents functioning and disability as a complex interaction between an individual's health status and contextual factors, and provides the basis for a methodology for managing the rehabilitation process of people with disabilities. The cognitive objective is to gain knowledge concerning independence in daily life of individuals after SCI in the early post-acute phase who are participating in the Foundation for Active Rehabilitation (FAR) camp, based on their functional profile using the Brief ICF Core Set for SCI. The applied objective is the recommendation of visualization tools designed to support the diagnosis and evaluation of progress in the rehabilitation process, useful for the therapeutic team.

Material and Methods: The study was conducted among 16 participants of a 21-day FAR rehabilitation camp, including 3 women and 13 men (7 with paraplegia and 9 with tetraplegia). Individuals participated in physical activities during the camp and improved their independence in performing activities of daily living (ADL) under the supervision of instructors. During lectures with a psychologist, they shaped and strengthened mental functions, cognitive skills, and social competencies A cross-sectional study consisting of a subjective examination in the form of individual structured interviews and a physical examination using a functional physiotherapy tests and validated assessment tools was carried out in a standardized manner by two physiotherapists. The obtained results of each subject were verified with the assessment of the therapeutic and instructional team of the FAR.

Results: Individuals diagnosed with tetraplegia indicate greater difficulty in capacity and performing activities. Those with tetraplegia and paraplegia necessitate partial assistance with activities of daily living.

Conclusions. The three types of visualization proposed in the article (1-Categorical ICF profile; 2-Individual outcome charts; 3-Patient group specificity charts for each participant group category) can be used by therapy-instructional teams to plan targeted interventions.

Keywords: activities of daily living, ICF, environmental factors, paraplegia, tetraplegia
