Abstract
Abstract
Physiotherapeutic procedures after surgical treatment of trochanteric fractures of femurs are a very important element of a postoperative management because they have a significant influence on the final result of physiotherapy. This is due to the nature of the fracture and the frequency of its occurrence. The aim of the work is, in particular, to determine the relationship between functional assessment scales in patients after trochanteric fractures treated surgically using extended statistical analysis including regression equations. Statistical analysis included a group of patients, which participated in a specialized programme of a post-operative procedure, called the ‘Individual’ Group. The matrix of research results, calculations of basic statistical measures, such as position, variability, interdependence, asymmetry and concentration were presented for this group. Regression equations representing the relationships between the considered variables, in particular concerning the applied scales and post-operative tests, were presented. Their purpose, mathematical interpretation, results of calculations and statistical tests were discussed. Attention was paid to the high correlation between the Parker and Mobility tests. The extended statistical analysis makes it possible to create an own system for assessing the treatment results of patients after trochanteric fractures are treated surgically.
