It's About People: 10-11 Physiotherapy

Описание: This session of the "It’s About People" international scientific conference, organized by Alma Mater Europaea University, showcases the growing scientific and clinical relevance of physiotherapy. As the profession continues to evolve through evidence-based practice and interdisciplinary collaboration, this panel brings together doctoral researchers and clinical experts to discuss the latest findings in orthopaedic, neurological, cardiac, and sports rehabilitation.
Moderated by Assistant Professor Tina Kovačič, the discussion highlights how rigorous research methodologies—ranging from narrative reviews and case studies to randomized clinical trials—are directly improving patient outcomes and strengthening the scientific foundations of physical therapy.

📍 Key Research Presentations & Participants:
Scoliosis & Spinal Mobility – Malush Scorta, PhD Candidate, presents a comparative analysis of the Schroth method, core stabilization, and Pilates in treating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, with a focus on 3D corrective movements.
Peripheral Nerve Recovery – Mimosa Zogay, PhD Candidate, details a five-week structured PT and OT rehabilitation protocol following traumatic ulnar nerve injury, emphasizing the role of peripheral nerve electrical stimulation.
Innovations in Cardiac Rehabilitation – Marin Bulan discusses the recovery trajectory of patients following minimally invasive mitral valve surgery for Barlow’s disease, highlighting the benefits of early functional activation over traditional surgical approaches.
Demographics in ACL Reconstruction – Valentina Duchi, PhD Candidate, provides a literature review on how age, gender, and BMI influence functional outcomes and muscle strength after ACL surgery, advocating for criteria-based progression.
Equestrian Biomechanics – Jana Hunjet explores the synergy between physiotherapy and biomechanics in equestrian sports, analyzing rider posture, pelvic alignment, and core stability as determinants of horse performance.
Chronic Low Back Pain Management – Sulleman Nari, PhD Candidate, shares a randomized comparative study between McKenzie-based mechanical interventions and general exercise programs for long-term functional improvement.
Biochemical Indicators of Muscle Damage – Professor Manuela Kušec examines the laboratory detection of muscle injury through markers such as creatinine kinase and myoglobin, and their clinical application in monitoring recovery.
Respiratory Prehabilitation – Arvin Krasniqi, PhD Candidate, presents the effectiveness of pre-operative chest physiotherapy in elective cardiac surgery, demonstrating a significant reduction in post-operative pulmonary complications.
Ankylosing Spondylitis & Quality of Life – Bajram Shiti, PhD Candidate, analyzes the impact of structured physiotherapy combined with pharmacological treatment on the functional status of patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases.
The Abdominal Nexus & Autonomic Regulation – Minodora Tatu introduces an integrative clinical framework for abdominal manual therapy, exploring its potential to modulate the gut-brain axis, fascial dynamics, and parasympathetic dominance.
