The impact of different physiotherapy methods on child with spina bifida. Case study.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Relevance of the topic: Spina bifida (SB) is a congenital hernia of the spinal cord when defected vertebrae archs do not protect spinal cord. Depending on the localization of the lesion, this disease causes different disabilities: affected cardiovascular system response, lower limb paralysis, soft tissue plasticity disorders, sphincter control disorders, neuro-muscle control. According to the Human Genetics Center 2003 data provided by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Lithuania - nerve tube pathology accounts for 7.5% of all congenital pathologies. Because of the correct and timely treatment on the present days, 97% of children with the sacrum area defect, 93% in the lumbar region and 75% in the thoracic area, survive with this disease. Physiotherapy, as one of the most important areas of rehabilitation treatment, still requires more specific scientific analysis and practical solutions with the effectiveness of a wide range of methodologies. The object of the study– impact of different physiotherapy methods for a child with spina bifida. Aim of the study – to evaluate the impact of different physiotherapy techniques for a child with Spina bifida. Tasks of the study: 1. To determine the effect of classical physiotherapy on the patient with spina bifida; 2. To determine the effect of physiotherapy with Mollii suit on a patient with spina bifida; 3. Compare the effects of classic physiotherapy and physiotherapy with Mollii suit on the patient with spina bifida. In the first part of the thesis is described the aetiology, classification, symptoms and treatment methods of Spina bifida and the rehabilitation methods to be used. The second part examines the effects of different physiotherapy methods on the child with Spina bifida. Characteristics of the study: In order to investigate the impact of different physiotherapy methods on a child with Spina bifida, an empirical study was made to combine qualitative and quantitative research methods: questionnaire analysis, goniometry, evaluation of muscle strength using Lovett scale, evaluation of upper extremities using Abilhand test, gross motor function measurement with GMFM scale, functional independence test and McGill static muscle strength test. The results of the study provide summarized conclusions: physiotherapy procedures with electrostimulation suit Mollii were more effective than classical physiotherapy procedures. Keywords: spina bifida, electrical stimulation, physical therapy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
