MARKOVÁ, Anežka
This bachelor thesis is focused on the possibilities of the use of an exercise equipment called Daflex in physiotherapy of older school age children who have been diagnosed with a faulty posture. Daflex is a unique rehabilitation exercise tool that was patented in the Czech republic in 2012. The diagnosis of faulty posture of children we can see quite often. There are many development difficulties in this age group. There are not only the hormonal and psychological changes but at the same time it is the period of the growth acceleration. The disorders of coordination of motion and also muscle dysblance are very common. It is caused by passive leisure time activities and by the unequal loading of certain muscle groups. The muscle dysbalance can be also caused by inadequate training and by overloading of the young athletes. The theoretical part is focused on exercises with the help of the Daflex. It will show some training techniques and principles which should be folowed during the exercises. It will describe how to hold and how to use the Daflex. Discussed here are the specifics of the older school age and the changes that are characteristic for these children. Further work deals with the body posture, its rating and with the possibilities of compensatory exercises of the Daflex System program. For the practical part of the work was used the method of qualitative research. The research was made in the form of processing of the three case studies and in the analysis of the interviews. The work contains the input and output kinesiological analysis and also the semi-structured interview with respondents and with their parents. It contains the proposal of the physiotherapeutic exercises and a description of the therapy with the photographs. The purpose of this work was to map the possibilities of using of the Daflex System? program in the physiotherapy of the children of older school age and to make an appropriate physiotherapeutic plan for individual workouts. From the results of the entrance examination i tis possible to see that all of the studied children had a muscle imbalance in the neck and in upper thoracic spine.There was congestion of the torso extenders, of neck and also the intercellular flabbiness of the muscles. It was possible to monitor the displacement of the head, protraction of the shoulder joints and kyphatic posture of the thoracic spine. At the initial examination were children captured in photos that are listed in the annexes of the work. The parents and children were familiar with the Daflex System? method, they got the photo documentation and the description of exercises. It was followed by a special exercise unit. Than the children got more difficult exercises according to their fitness level. All the children have learned the basic ten exercises. Later they got five individual exercises. At the last meeting there was the interview with children and with their parents. The final kinesiological analysis was enriched by the photographs. It can be detected from the final kinesiological analysis that the health status of children has been imroved during the therapy. There has been improved the straightening of the spine, the shortened muscle groups has been stretched and it is possible to see the improvement of the body posture. In the interview children said that they were trying regularly and their parents confirmed the information. The parents appriciated that the exercises were chosen well, the kids were able to remember them and were very motivatied for the movement. The Daflex System rehablitation tool and the method can be a welcome diversification to the usual training units. This bachelor thesis can be used as an information material for students of physiotherapy and for students of physiotherapy and for physiotherapists in a clinical practice.
