Získalová, Karolína ; Sládková, Petra (advisor) ; Malá, Michaela (referee)
6 ABSTRACT Title: Effect of biofeedback on stability, coordination and activation of patients after spi- nal stabilization using Hunova Movendo posturographic device Aims: The aim of this thesis was to introduce the Hunova Movendo posturographic de- vice and to validate its benefits in increasing stability by comparing outcome measures. The secondary aim was to evaluate the therapy from the probands' perspective. Methods. First, all selected probands underwent an initial interview and an initial postural stability examination using the Hunova Movendo device, which measured changes in body position values. The training intervention with visual feedback was conducted for a total of six weeks, specifically every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. In the third week of training, a follow-up examination was conducted to assess the improvement or deteri- oration of the results, and also to motivate all probands. At the end of the six-week inter- vention, an exit examination was conducted and probands were given a five-question subjective questionnaire to complete. The effectiveness of the treatment was compared through the entry and exit examination data from the first and last week of the interven- tion. Results: At the end of the six-week program using proprioceptive training with visual feedback on the Hunova...

Novotný, Petr ; Malá, Michaela (advisor) ; Prokešová, Eva (referee)
Title: First Aid during Mass Casualty Incident on the Railway Objectives: The main aim of this work was to assess the first aid knowledge of railway carrier employees working as passenger train crew in relation to mass casualty incidents on the railway. Another aim was to find out how many mass casualty incidents occurred on the regional and the national railway between 2010 and 2020 in the Czech Republic. Methods: In order to assess the first aid knowledge, a quantitative method of anonymous questionnaire with 90 respondents was used. The number of mass casualty incidents was found by a statistical analysis of raw data of railway accidents provided by The Rail Safety Inspection Office. These data were processed by MS Excel 2010 software. In order to test the stated hypotheses, the Student's t-test for Two Independent Samples was used. Results: It was found out that four respondents (4.4 %) of the study had encountered a mass casualty incident at work and provided first aid during that event. The questionnaire and the subsequent hypotheses testing using Student's t-test revealed that the respondent's length of service, participation in health training, and the experience of authentic first aid provided during their work did not have a statistically significant impact on their level of first aid...

Získalová, Karolína ; Sládková, Petra (advisor) ; Malá, Michaela (referee)
The topic of this thesis is stability, coordination and activation of patients after stabilization of the lumbar and cervical spine. The chapter Overview of the current state of the art describes posturography as such, the basic concepts involved, the neurophysiological management of postural control and balance, the management of upright standing and postural balance, the measurement and also assessment of balance and postural stability, clinical evaluation and the evaluation of therapies. The Methodology section outlines the methodological approach that was chosen for the probands tested. In addition, the methods of measuring therapies include case-specific assessments of adaptation and reactive balance in standing, limits of stability, assessment of balance on a passive and flexible base, also assessment of balance with visual perturbation on a stable base, and assessment of squatting. The most important component of the Special Section is the case study and individual exercises within the therapy sessions. The paper concludes with a summary of the results of the input and output data to show the overall effect of the therapy. The results confirm the benefit of posturography on the course of treatment. In the Discussion chapter, the disease, the pros and also cons of the device and the questions...
