Kuncová, Eliška ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Opatrná Novotná, Irena (referee)
Title: A Change in Blood Flow to the Muscle during Compression Therapy Objectives: The main objective of this work is to determine the change in muscle blood flow during compression therapy, specifically during flossing. Another objective is to get acquainted with compression techniques. Methods: In our work, we used an anamnesty questionnaire to get basic information about probabilities. Flossing was applied to the right shoulder for two minutes. The flow measurement was carried out on Précisé 8008 and the data were evaluated using descriptive statistics, testing using a linear model, an ANOVA and T-test. Results: We found that the development of blood flow to the biceps brachii muscle during and after application is variable. After application of flossing, there are statistically significant changes in blood flow to the upper limb (where flossing was applied) and subsequently, after application, there is an improvement in muscle blood flow (TcpO2). There is also a change in blood flow to the opposite limb (where flossing has not been applied), but this change is statistically significant at the time of the lowest blood flow to the limb where flossing was applied and 15 minutes after the lowest perfusion was measured. Furthermore, flossing was found not to return rapidly to baseline in the upper...

Mařík, Antonín ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Author: Bc. Antonín Mařík Title: Capture of the abduction contracture of the hip joint as a biomechanical cause of idiopathic scoliosis The theme of the thesis is based on lectures and numerous publications by Professor Tomasz Karski, MD, PhD from Lublin, published in international journals (from the 1990s to the present). The work is based on the biomechanical cause of the "so-called idiopathic" scoliosis, the cause of which is considered primarily the restriction of adduction in the right hip joint - an abduction contracture. This contracture is one of the symptoms of "contractures and deformity syndrome" according to Prof. Hans Mau (Tübingen, Germany). The years-long prevailing "standing easy" attitude on the right lower limb is a manifestation of the restriction of abduction - the abduction contracture in the right hip joint and the cause of scoliosis in two groups and three types of classification of "biomechanical" scoliosis according to Karski. The main object of the thesis is an objective assessment of the relationship between the abduction contracture of the right hip joint and the idiopathic scoliosis of the spine in the examined set of probands. The thesis focuses, among other things, on the recent overview of the knowledge about idiopathic scoliosis, especially on diagnostics and...

Sageshima, Hirofumi ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Author: Hirofumi Sageshima Title: Electromyographic analysis of the cervical flexion during different body positions Aim and Purpose: The aim of this study is to find out the muscle activity and the muscle coordination during cervical flexion in 3 different positions - standing, sitting and supine - with electromyographic analysis in young healthy adults. Methods: This study compared superficial cervical flexor muscles activity during conventional cervical flexion to 20 volunteered healthy subjects with surface electromyography (EMG). The activity of 5 paired muscles - sternocleidomastoid, scalenus, suprahyoid, infrahyoid and superior part of trapezius - were measured when they performed 15-time cyclic cervical flexion-extension from neutral to maximum cervical flexion on 3 different positions - sitting, standing and supine - in random order. Results: Significantly higher EMG amplitude was detected from all measured muscles on supine position than sitting and standing (p < 0.05). It was also confirmed that muscle activation pattern was different according to positions; its amplitude on supine reach the peak in the earlier phase of movement, while it was delayed on 2 other positions (p < 0.05). In terms of onset, all cervical flexors activated together in the very beginning. However, on sitting and...

Constraint induced movement therapy for upper extremity in patients after stroke in occupational therapy
Horsáková, Petra ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Constraint induced movement therapy is one of many neurorehabilitation methods, based on principle of overcoming the learned non-use phenomenon by a specific therapeutic protocol including some behavioral techniques. A classification of currently available studies on the topic have been made on the model of literature review, with an in-depth focus on using Constraint induced movement therapy in occupational therapy for adult patients after stroke who have upper limb motor disorders. The present study is structured into two sections: a theoretical part and an analytic-descriptive one. In theoretical part history of the method is presented together at Basic method principles and detail contents of a therapeutic protocol. The analytical and descriptive section is aimed to analyse international studies important and relevant with respect to an occupational therapy practice. In this second section are also proposed many possible activities of shaping and task practice techniques which can be used by occupational therapists. Translation of the most widely used test (Motor Activity Log and Wolf Motor Function Test) into Czech language is included. Keywords: constraint induced movement therapy, stroke, upper extremity, occupational therapy
