Vagenknechtová, Anna ; Stupka, Martin (advisor) ; Nováková, Tereza (referee)
Title: Effect of passive stretching on current patient's mental state Objectives: This thesis presents a pilot theoretical - empirical experiment, where the main subject of the experiment is to evaluate the effect of passive stretching hypertonic or shortened muscles, i.e. decreased muscle tone on current patient's mental state. The theoretical part summarizes the neurophysiologic basis of emotions by search form. Through the implementation and follow-up experiment, we aim to demonstrate the positive impact of stretching exercise on current psychological state. Methods: Two groups of patients participated in this research, thirty without pain and thirty with pain. We chose questionnaire PANAS-X (Watson, Clark, 1994) to diagnose their current mental state. The first group, patients without pain, completed the questionnaire before and immediately after the experimental intervention, i.e. passive stretching hypertonic muscles. The second group, patients with pain, went through stretching exercise unit twice a week for three weeks. As for this group, we compare the situation before the first therapy with the state after six sessions. We evaluated the change in the individual sublevels of positive and negative emotions by the methodology of the questionnaire. Results: During the experiment three out of...

Changes in deep and superficial sensations in depression
Janoušková, Marie ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Satrapová, Lenka (referee)
Title: Changes in deep and superficial sensations in depression Objectives: The theoretical part of this study aims to summarize the issues related to depression and sensory modalities in general. The goal of the practical aspect is to conduct an experiment that evaluates changes in superficial and deep sensations in depression at different stages of the mental illness in five patients. We evaluated sensations of thermal stimuli, tactile stimuli, vibrations and pain. Methods: The practical part describes the sensation analysis for each patient individually. The changes in deep and superficial sensations are compared in states of worse and lighter depression. There is also a suggested possibility for statistical evaluation of the interdependence between the severity of depression and selected modalities of sensation using the Wilcoxon test for two dependent samples. Results: The vibrating sensation in the upper left limb and algid sensation in the upper right extremity proved (on the chosen level of significance) the null hypothesis which stated that changes in sensation depend on changes in the state of depression. A sense of vibration in the upper right extremity, a sense of pain in the upper left limb and other sensory modalities present in both upper extremities were accepted (on the chosen...

Kofránková, Vlasta ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Hrdý, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Case Study of Physiotherapy Treatment of a Patient After Stroke Objective: To evaluate the effects of physiotherapy care on the patient. Methods: The first general part provides the description of the desease itself, its pre- valence in the Czech Republic, etiopathogenesis, clinical features, prognosis and current therapeutic approaches in acute, sub-chronic and chronic stages. Recommendations for primary prevention of cerebrovascular accident are described. Post-stroke patients with permanent disabilities run high risk of falling. Some selected methods (tests) are presented to evaluate the patient's balance ability (e.g. Berg Balance Scale, BESTest). The special part of this work presents a case study of a post-stroke patient, the course of the therapy and an evaluation of its effects. Results: The physiotherapy care has led to improvements of gross and fine motor skills and increased the patient's independence in everyday living. Balance ability of the patient is evaluated using the BESTest. Conclusion: It is important to maintain optimal health, independence and self- suffi- ciency of patients in the chronic stage. Specially developed functional tests can be used to evaluate the patient's condition and to choose an effective therapy. Keywords: cerebrovascular accident, brainstem stroke, falls...

Formánková, Dita ; Vomáčková, Helena (advisor) ; Nováková, Tereza (referee)
Title Influence of dynamic and static warm-up on muscle strength in climbers. Objective The aim of the thesis is to assess the influence of dynamic warm-up with Thera-Band and static stretching on maximal muscle strength and its time parameters of finger flexors in dominant upper extremity in climbers. Methods Eight active climbers participated in this testing (age 32.4 ± 5.5, body weight 69.4 ± 6.5, height 176 ± 6.4). Actual performance RP was according to the French scale ranging 6b to 8a. Probands' measurements proceeded in three different days. After a specific warm-up on "boulder wall" and static stretching and dynamic warm-up with Thera-Band without stretching, there was maximal muscle strength of fingers flexors on dominant (preferred) upper limb measured by using a specific climbing test on hangboard. The second measurement assessed maximal strength of finger flexors muscle and its time parameters while proceeding of the maximum hand-grip using a hand dynamometer. Results In the experiment, none of the hypotheses came to be confirmed. There was no significant influence of static stretching and dynamic warm-up with Thera-Band on maximal muscle strength of finger flexors and the time parameters in climbers. Conclusion Despite the failure to prove the influence of the static stretching and...
