The effect of menstrual cycle phases on muscle tone
Paurová, Aneta ; Šifta, Petr (advisor) ; Nováková, Pavlína (referee)
Title: The effect of menstrual cycle phases on muscle tone Goals and methods: The aim of this thesis is to prove the effect of menstrual cycle phases and participating hormons on the viscoelastic properties of the sceletal calf muscle via the non-invasive myotonometer device. The experimental part of this thesis is a pilot study in which participated seven female probands aged inbetween 24 to 28. Each proband participated in four weekly tests. Only probands who had not used hormonal contraception for at least six months were selected. Results: The results of the tests are represented in graphs picturing parts of curves representing the force caused by the tip of the myotonometer. The muscle soleus tension is changing throughout the menstrual cycle but its impossible to eliminate other endogenous and exogenous factors. The measured relative values of muscle tension are different for each proband. The menstrual phase has the highest average value of muscle tension. It is not possible to make a generally valid conclusion. Key words: Menstrual cycle, menstrual phase, muscle tone, calf muscle, biomechanical properties, myotonometry, contraception

Sciatic nerve traction palsy after surgery
Paurová, Aneta ; Hlavičková, Růžena (referee) ; Holubářová, Jiřina (advisor)
Title of thesis: Sciatic nerve traction palsy after surgery Aim of thesis: The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to look at the origin of pheripheral palsy after a total hip replacement and to compile a detailed examination of a patient with sciatic traction palsy after surgery. Method: In the first theoretical part of this bachelor's thesis I am following the problems associated with peripheral palsy after a total hip replacement , it's etiology, risk factors, diagnosis and prognosis. Eventually, I focus on the rehabilitation treatment for peripheral paresis including physiotherapeutic methods and procedures. The second specialized part is an examination of patient with sciatic traction palsy after a total hip replacement. This includes anamnesis, differential judgement, initial examination, short term physiotherpeutic plan, procedure of therapy, final examination, evaluation of therapy effects and long term physiotherapeutic plan. It also describes the processes used in three week's therapy of the patient at The Department of Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine in Ústřední vojenská nemocnice in Prague. Key words: Sciatic nerve palsy after surgery, peripheral palsy, total hip replacement, rehabilitation treatments, physiotherapeutic methods and procedures. 3
