Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Compression therapy  The therapy using a device with variable pressure - individually adapted to the needs of the patient. Duration of the procedure - several minutes. 
Intervention  Electromagnetic field  Electromagnetic field is a kind of therapy using electrical current applied to the skin around the joints or to the whole body. The aim is to improve cellular metabolic processes and enzymatic activity, as well as accelerating lymph outflow from tissue with inflammatation. Details: high energy pulsed electromagnetic field - magnetic induction up to 3T, magnetic field frequency up to 100Hz, duration of treatment - up to 60 minutes. 
Intervention  Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT)   The shock wave is generated under the pressure in a special apparatus and applied to the body in a form of impulses using special head. Thanks to this, the shock wave goes very precisely to a specific place. The aim is to improve cellular metabolic processes and enzymatic activity, as well as accelerating lymph outflow from tissue with inflammatation. Details: radial and focused shock waves: pressure up to 5 Bars, frequency up to 20Hz, number of hits up to 2000, duration of the procedure - a few minutes. 
Intervention  functional therapy combined with biofeedback  It is a set of exercises on a stable or unstable/labile ground and/or treadmill to improve concentration, neuromuscular control, proprioception and lost motor functions.Physical exercise is an method supporting the treatment of injuries in sports and rehabilitation of patients. Especially innovative is a method using anti-gravity treadmill, which allows considerable weight reduction. 
Intervention  High Intense Laser Therapy (HILT)  The method uses laser radiation, which is emitted with power exceeding 500mW. The aim is to improve cellular metabolic processes and enzymatic activity, as well as accelerating lymph outflow from tissue with inflammatation. Details: power up to 10W (continuous working) or 3kW (pulse working), treatment doses of 2-12J/cm2, laser exposure technique - static, point and/or surface, duration of the procedure - a few seconds to several minutes.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Physical examination:
a. physical examination (assessment of muscular strength and tension, joint mobility, assessment of maximum pain points),
b. ultrasonography of diseased tissue,
c. examination of surface muscle tension - electromyography,
d. assessment of limb load and balance using stabilometric or dynamic platform. 
Two study timepoints: before and after the 10-day therapy. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Examination of patients’ peripheral blood:
- erythrocytic activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase, as well as the concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and conjugated dienes (CD)
- plasma concentration of TBARS, CD, malondialdehyde and vitamins A and E.
- serum activity of arylsulfatase, acid phosphatase, cathepsin D, alpha1-antitrypsin, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha and tumor growth factor beta1.

 
Before the 10-day therapy, during the therapy (7 days from start of the study) and 4 days after the therapy completion (14 days from start of the study)

Brief Summary   The proposed research includes an interdisciplinary research project that will allow to draw conclusions about the degree of oxygen free radicals generation, the efficiency of antioxidant mechanisms and the occurrence of inflammatory processes in the body and their variability due to the action of various physical stimuli.
