Abstract
Background and Study Aim: Often the boundary between prophylaxis and therapy is difficult to define. People with diseases of the eye are at increased risk of a collision with both vertical obstacles or objects which are in motion, and unintentional fall. The aim of this study is knowledge about methods, means, effort indicators during a practice session, as well as the quality of body control during a simulated fall in laboratory conditions before and after a specific course.
Material and Methods: Clinical group (CG) 5 male with eye diseases: age 18.2 ±0.45 years; height 171 ±12.4 cm, weight 66.2 ±14 kg. Prophylactic group (PG) 36 male physiotherapy students (mean, SD): age 21.5 ±2.25 years; height 181.28 ±5.26 cm; weight 79.47 ±8.65 kg. We used the susceptibility test to the body injuries during the fall” (STBIDF). Total points is a general indicator of the susceptibility to body injuries during the fall (SBIDF): low (0), average (1-3), high (4-8), very high (9-14). Relatively for particular body parts (SBPIDF): low (0), average (1), high (2-6).
Results: CG average session time 33 minutes, 40 specific exercises were used, 63% falls (150-160), 37% others. The intensity of all sessions of kinesiotherapy in the moderate zone, while 2 minutes of specific training sequences in the high zone. PG respectively: 38 minutes, 50 exercises including 60% (180-190) of various falls and 40% fun forms of martial arts, fall simulations, avoiding collisions. The average intensity of training 130 HR (moderate zone). SBIDF before the specific course was in CG: 9 ±1.87 points (6 to 11); in PG 8.56 ±2.87 points (0 to 14) and). After, respectively: CG: 3.2 ±1.17 points (2 to 5) and in PG 0.75 ±1.01 points (0 to 3) p<0.001.
Conclusions: We recommend the cumulating of 10 empirically verified sessions within 2-3 weeks of health stay as an optimal incentive for injury prevention due to falls and/or collision. Combining these exercises with occupational therapy and creeping orientation training can be an effective and attractive way to improve the quality of life of people with eye disease.
