- He is a pediatric physiotherapy researcher: back school programs, neuromuscular ultrasound, neurodynamic techniques, and nerve-related conditions, one continuous program from 2014 to 2026.
- His ORCID record carries 73 work groups matching his PubMed publications plus an employment entry at the Academy, and publishers have tagged his identifier on 17 of his records; his corresponding-author e-mail appears on 12 or more of his records, including Study 14.
Research Work
- Research class: pediatric physiotherapy, back school programs, neuromuscular ultrasound, neurodynamic techniques, and nerve-related conditions, one continuous program 2014-2026, largely with the AWF Katowice team.
- Corresponding author of Study 14 (the PubMed record designates his e-mail linek.fizjoterapia@vp.pl as the correspondence address, a line it shares with 12+ corpus records spanning 2014-2022). Study 14 is a randomized controlled trial in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome in which manual therapy plus neurodynamic mobilization techniques were compared with electrophysical modalities (red and infrared laser plus ultrasound applied by contact method at the transverse ligament area) over 20 therapy sessions at twice-weekly intervals. Two-point discrimination (2PD) improved significantly in the symptomatic limbs of BOTH groups (p < .001), with no statistically significant difference between the two treatment groups; the authors concluded: "Both therapy programs used in this study were beneficial for improving 2PD."
Role in Study 14
Co-author and corresponding author of Study 14. See Study 14: Effect of Manual Therapy and Neurodynamic Techniques vs Ultrasound and Laser on Two-Point Discrimination in CTS (Journal of Hand Therapy, 2016; PMID 27094495).
