Degenerative disc disease (DDD) in the lumbosacral spine is one of the most common causes of pain and the significant associated limitations in physical activity and daily functioning, with the vast majority of patients requiring long-term physiotherapy. Hence, the significance of proper diagnostics, locating the cause of the ailment, implementation of appropriate therapy and prevention. The aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy of outpatient physiotherapy on reducing pain and improving the function of the lumbosacral spine. The research group comprised 95 people (50 women and 45 men) with an average age of 53 years, all patients with DDD in the lumbosacral spine. They underwent 3 physical treatments: magnetotherapy, laser therapy, and systemic cryotherapy, as well as gymnastic exercises, aimed at improving physical fitness, and strengthening the muscular corset. The research methods included the Schober test, the Thomayer test (finger-ground test), the Visual Analogue Scale scale, Laitinen's pain questionnaire, and calculation of BMI. Physiotherapeutic treatments significantly reduced the patients' pain symptoms, significantly increased the range of motion in the lumbosacral spine and improved physical fitness. Better results of the therapy were observed in patients with lower BMI.

Excessive physical activity is one of the main risk factors in the formation of degenerative changes of the intervertebral discs. Recreational and elite sport also represents a repeated increased physical load, and based on the type of sport, a more intense and sometimes less intense action of direct forces on the intervertebral discs. On the other hand, sport and training is in general regarded as beneficial for our health. Many doctors also regards sport as a form of prevention against back injuries. The authors analyze numerous sporting activities with different types of direct forces acting on the spine, with the goal to inform on realistic scientific facts regarding the impact of these activities on the degeneration of the intervertebral disc. They inform about the available facts, which confirm the positive effects of a certain type of sport load on the degeneration of the intervertebral disc, and its correlation with the clinically manifested back pain.

Obiektem badań jest trójwymiarowy geometryczny oraz mechaniczny model MES krążka międzykręgowego pomiędzy kręgami L2-L3 odcinka kręgosłupa lędźwiowego oraz C5-C6 szyjnego kręgosłupa ludzkiego. Model MP2S poddany został działaniom ściskającej siły osiowej, momentu zginającego oraz skręcającemu. Badania numeryczne odcinka lędźwiowego kręgosłupa są poparte badaniami doświadczalnymi przeprowadzonymi na kręgach kręgosłupa świńskiego. Na odcinku kręgosłupa szyjnego przeprowadzono porównanie dwóch technik operacyjnych Clowarda oraz Robinson-Smitha. Wszystkie badania tmmerjczne zostały przeprowadzone przy użyciu programu ANSYS 5.4.

The main objective of this study is to design three-dimensional geometrical and mechanical FEM model of the intervertebral disc between L2-L3 vertebras in the lumbar and C5-C6 cervical spinal segment. The three-dimensional finite element motion segment was developed and its response to different loads was performed. Numerical studies of the lumbar segment have been consequently compared with the experimental investigation performed on the porcine model by authors. In cervical spinal segment numerically two surgical techniques (Cloward and Robinson-Smith) have been tested. All numerical analysis have been undertaken using ANSYS 5.4 commercial application.

W celu uzyskania elastycznego materiału z przeznaczeniem na implant krążka międzykręgowego, wytworzono dwa rodzaje nanokompozytów na osnowie z poliwęglanouretanu (PUR). Do syntezy użyto oligowęglanodioli (OWD) o różnych masach molowych: 1534 g/mol i 1750 g/mol. Każdy z kompozytów zawierał 0,5 % mas. nanokrzemionki o średnim rozmiarze nanocząstek 57 nm. Zbadano właściwości wytrzymałościowe wytworzonych materiałów, przeprowadzono analizę termiczną (TGA), różnicową kalorymetrię skaningową (DSC) oraz dynamiczną analizę mechaniczną (DMA). Budowę chemiczną wytworzonych nanokompozytów potwierdzono na podstawie analizy widm FT-IR a kąt zwilżania wytworzonych materiałów posłużył do oceny właściwości adhezyjnych.

Two types of nanocomposites with polycarbonate urethane (PUR) matrix were made in order to obtain an elastic material intended for the implant of intervertebral disc. Oligocarbonate diols of different molar masses (1534 g/mol and 1750 g/mol) were used for the synthesis. Each of the composites contained 0.5 wt. % silica with an average nanoparticle size of 57 nm. The produced materials were characterized for strength properties and investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The chemical structure of the produced nanocomposites was confirmed on the basis of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), while the adhesive properties were evaluated by contact angle measurements.

modem design process should comprise issues covering not only geometrical design, but also anatomical aspects of the bone tissue. It can be realized in the integrated computer techniques, such as: CT (Computer Tomography), CAD (Computer Aided Design), CAE (Computer Aided Engineering). Computer Tomography allows digital description and contour detection of spinal vertebra geometry. Parametrical design of vertebral body was presented. In engineering analysis, the numerical results of strain-stress state simulations are also taken into account.
