Jan Kochanowski University | Poland

Prof. Jacek Wilczyński is a prominent Polish scientist and academic recognized for his extensive research in posturology, physiotherapy, and corrective kinesiology. He serves as a Professor at the Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce, where he heads the Laboratory of Posturology within the Collegium Medicum. His distinguished academic journey includes a Master’s degree in Physical Education (1986), a Doctorate in Physical Culture Sciences (1997), a Habilitation (2010), and a Master’s in Physiotherapy (2012). Prof. Wilczyński’s research primarily explores posture defects, postural stability, balance and gait disorders, and the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in maintaining equilibrium. He investigates the complex interactions between vestibulospinal, vestibulo-optic, and vestibulo-oculomotor reflexes, as well as the autonomic nervous system’s role in children with scoliosis and postural abnormalities. His work also integrates spectral analysis of postural and cardiac responses, providing insights into the relationships between posture, stress resistance, and vagal tone. Author of more than 50 scientific works, including influential publications in Sensors, Journal of Clinical Medicine, and International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Prof. Wilczyński employs advanced diagnostic technologies such as the Diers formetric III 4D system and Framiral Multitest Equilibre to analyze body alignment and stability. His innovative typology of body posture and evidence-based approaches have significantly influenced modern postural therapy, rehabilitation methods, and preventive health strategies, establishing him as a leading expert in the interdisciplinary field of postural and functional body assessment.
