Introduction Participants in our study were evaluated according to photography in the sagittal plane to determine facial profile. The aim of our study is to evaluate the facial profile and identify the correlation with posture and balance in static and dynamic. Methods This is a pilot study developed from December 2021. It took place in the Physiotherapy laboratory at Aleksandër Moisiu University, Durrës. With participants (N = 7), the tests applied in the study was the Romberg test, the Tandem test. Results In our study dominates orthognathic profile 57.3%, then we have the Retrognatic profile. Regardless of the face profile patients have the lowest scoring on the dynamic test compared to the static test. The orthognathic profile is characterized by a better static and dynamic balance. Conclusions We note conection between the facial profile and the balance of the participants. The orthognathic profile is considered the profile with the best balance in static and dynamic.

Objective: In this thesis I will explain in details the therapeutic plans, evaluation tabs, measurement problems, wich must be definitely applied in all the patients who suffer from hemiplegy. The most important is that this phenomenon in Albania is known just in recent years as compared to other countries, where rehabilitation has almost been applied for 50 years now. The goal of this thesis is to show how important is the patient’s rehabilitation and reintegration in his previous life. We have some statistic results which show than the patients treated improve better the disability, in comparison with 65% of not treated patients. Design: Physiotherapy for the hemiplegic patients. Setting. Neurology,Tirana City, Scientific statistics by “World Health Organization” Subjects: Knowledge increase on the effect of rehabilitation therapy for hemiplegic patients. Outcome: Prevalence of hemiplegy is a great health and social – economic problem. For this reason, the social and hospital stru...

Introduction: Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformative abnormality of the spine, defined by the Cobb's angle of spine curvature in the coronal plane, and is often accompanied by vertebral rotation in the transverse plane and hypokyphosis in the sagittal plane. Based on the age of presentation, scoliosis is further categorized as infantile, juvenile or adolescent idiopathic. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has the highest prevalence of the three categories. This type of scoliosis is present at age ten and lasts till the end of growth. Its prevalence is dependent on the curvature of the spine and gender of the patient. Objective: The purpose of this review is to evaluate the role of physiotherapy in reducing curve progression and pain, postponing or avoiding invasive treatment and improve the quality of life in adolescents with AIS. Methodology: The study is a Systematic Review, meta-analytic type, consisting of 5 studies (RCT) of the last ten years, which focus on the i...

Background: Knee ligament injuries are among the most common sports lesions. However injuries of anterior cruciate ligament are frequent especially in amateur football who does not realize streching muscular before entering in the field. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate physical therapy combined with reinforcing exercises post arthroscopy for anterior cruciate ligament Methods: This is a Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial Study. Patients were divided into two groups .In group A patients (n=5) were underwent a protocol with physical therapy combined with reinforcing exercises, while in group B (n=5), patients underwent only physical therapy. Like outcomes measures included visual analogic scale (VAS) and range of motion was measured with a goniometer. Results: In group A values were significant for visual analogue scale VAS with (p value < 0, 05) was compared with group B. While degrees of motion in group A were positive for a relatively shorter period than in group...

After a mean treatment period of 1 years, their average Cobb angle changed to 13, 38.We applied back school exercise and another specific method known as Mezieries. Ad...

____________________________________________________ Abstract Introduction: Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformative abnormality of the spine, defined by the Cobb's angle of spine curvature in the coronal plane, and is often accompanied by vertebral rotation in the transverse plane and hypokyphosis in the sagittal plane. Based on the age of presentation, scoliosis is further categorized as infantile, juvenile or adolescent idiopathic. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has the highest prevalence of the three categories. This type of scoliosis is present at age ten and lasts till the end of growth. Its prevalence is dependent on the curvature of the spine and gender of the patient. Objective: The purpose of this review is to evaluate the role of physiotherapy in reducing curve progression and pain, postponing or avoiding invasive treatment and improve the quality of life in adolescents with AIS. Methodology: The study is a Systematic Review, meta-analytic type, consisting of 5 studies (RCT) of the last ten years, which focus on the impact of physiotherapy in AIS. Studies include 210 patients evaluated and treated by physiotherapist, divided into 2 groups: experimental and control group. The measurement and rehabilitation includes Cobb angle, pain and quality of life. Data was extracted from medical websites and scientific journals. The evaluation was realized with the PEDro scale, which shows the validity of each study. Results: The literature used in the study claimed that physiotherapist in AIS reduces pain and Cobb angle and improve QoL (p<0.05). The 5 studies had an average PEDro score of 5.6/10. Conclusions: Evidence suggests that physiotherapy is good at reducing the Cobb angle, pain and improving the quality of life in patients with AIS. Scientific research on this topic is limited, so it is suggested to increase research, especially now that AIS incidence is higher.

Background Lumbar disc herniation associated with fissure of annulus fibrosis and exit out of nucleus pulposis. This fissure can be caused by biomechanic forces by movements like rotation, extension and degenerative disc. While spondylolisthesis is characterized by the slipping of a vertebral body. The aim of this study was examination of the effects of three manual methods in patients with low back pain and lumbar disc herniation .Evaluation of the efficacy of the Maitland method positive and fast compared two other methods regardless the same diagnosis Clinical Features: Three patients aged 34,23,24 presented with low back pain combined with lumbar disc herniation with more than one different attacks and different duration of pain. Pain which is present no more than 12 weeks and was accompanied by loss of functionality Intervention: Physiotherapy treatment relied on Manual Therapy Maitland, Postural Reeducation Mezieries, Back school exercise. Patients underwent rehabilitation for a period of 10-15 sessions, where the results of 3 patients were better Results: Each patients has undergone three different methods of physiotherapy. The tests in which we use to each patient, were SLC Straight Leg Raise Test; PBT Prone Bridge Test;ST Slum test; VAS*Numerical rating scale; ODI Oswestry Disability Index. In patient that we used Maitland method the pain was eliminated completely ,the time of rehabilitation was 10 sessions and the time for the release the therapy was 25 min. Conclusion: That the three studies are effective in eliminating pain and restoring functionality of the patient. Maitland method is a favorite regarding the shorter time requesting in return of positive patient condition
