Blektová, Veronika ; Vomáčková, Helena (advisor) ; Stupková, Michaela (referee)
Title: Use of the Pressure Biofeedback Unit to assess m. transversus abdominis activity - a pilot study Aims: The aim of this Master's thesis is to create an extended rating scale to assess the stabilizing ability of the transverse abdominis muscle measured by the Pressure Biofeedback Unit through PRONE test. Another aim of this thesis is to determine whether the extention of the original rating scale designed to evaluate the stabilizing ability of the transverse abdominis muscle measured by the Pressure Biofeedback Unit in the PRONE test will increase sensitivity of this evaluation. Methods: This thesis is a quantitative study, i tis a quasi-experimantal study. A deliberately selected group of young active men n = 40 with a mean age of 25,63 2,61 who suffer from chronic low back pain without a neurological finding for at least 3 months was used for this study. The size of the research sample was determined using statistical power calculation software G*Power. A questionnaire for experts in the field of physiotherapy was used to create a proposal for the extended rating scale. The Fleiss' K and the arithmetic mean were calculated to evaluate the inter-rater agreement and content validity of the individual items in the questionnaire. The measurement itself took place in the premises of Posádkové...

Selected physiotherapeutic aspects in patients with whiplash disability - systematic review
Doušková, Aneta ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Stupková, Michaela (referee)
The work is processed in the form of a systematic research. It is about issues related to whiplash syndrome, such as etiology, diagnosis and therapy. The aim of the systematic literature research was to find out what physiotherapeutic procedures have been used for the last five years in the treatment of whiplash syndrome and which procedure appears to be the most effective in reducing pain and improving range of motion. The studies were searched in the following databases: EBSCOhost, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Springer. The corresponding studies were searched using keywords which were then sorted using the established criteria. In the final count, 10 studies were identified. Five studies out of ten examined the effect of the procedure of therapy on behavioral intervention in combination with the specific exercise and individual needs of the individual. This therapy focuses as much as possible on the needs and goals of the individual. In the last five years, the effect of distance therapy has been studied in the treatment of whiplash syndrome again with an emphasis on the needs of a particular person. More variables need to be taken to assess the effectiveness of approaches and further studies on therapy of whiplash syndrome would be needed to accurately determine the effect. Keywords...

Data were evaluated in Microsoft Office Excel and RStudio. Results: The average score of Mini BESTest of the monitored subject was 24,32. Females got higer score (24,66) compared to males (24,08). Physiological arch of the foot was diagnosed for 67 % of students, flatfoot for 14 %, highfoot for 19 %. The foot arch does not have influence on postural stability of pupils in younger school age. Keywords: Mini BESTest, stability, foot arch, functional flatfoot, primary school age.

Evaluation dynamic postural stability of javelin thrower
Mandová, Aneta ; Vomáčková, Helena (advisor) ; Stupková, Michaela (referee)
Title: Evaluation dynamic postural stability of javelin throwers Objectives: The aim is to evaluate whether the regular active performance of the javelin discipline has an effect on dynamic postural stability in comparison with individuals who do not actively engage in javelin throwing. Furthermore, to find out whether there is a relationship that would clarify the dominance of the lower limbs in the relationship between the front and hind leg of the spearman in the assessment Methods: This quantitative observable cross-sectional study involved 20 probands (n=20, age=20,45 ± 2,49). The experimental group consisted of the 10 male javelin thrower and 10 female javelin thrower. Measurement of dynamic postural stability took place in the Laboratory of Applied Kinesiology, Charles University FTVS on the Neurocom SMART EquiTest device. These batteries were chosen. Sensory Organization Test (SOT), Motor Control Test (MCT), Adaptation Test (ADT), Limits of Stability (LOS), Rhythmic Weight Shift (RWS), Weight Bearing Squat (WBS), Unilateral Stance (US). Then the measured data was processed by program Neurocom Balance Manager Software. The results of the experimental group were compared with the control group. The control group values are available in the NeuroCom SMART EquiTest software and correspond to...

Jandová, Karla ; Stupková, Michaela (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title of the thesis: Horse riders postural stability in relation with riding style. Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to evaluate dynamic postural stability of horse riders and the impact of the riding style, aditional sports and the naturally croockedness using NeuroCom Smart Equitest System Method: This comparative quantitative experimental study used 14 riders aged 18-36 that were divided into two groups, modern competing dressage riderds (n=7) and classical dressage riders (n=7). All probands underwent the same battery of tests at the Laboratory of applied kinesiology of Charles University, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport. Seven test of Neurocom Smart Equitest were performed as follows: Senzory Organization Test, Motor Control Test, Adaptation Test, Unilateral Stance, Limits of Stability, Rythmic Weight Shift, Weight Bearing Squat Test. The data were processed by NeuroCom Balance Manager Software. The statistics were made by Sharpiro-Wilk normality test and the Cohen d tes was used to set the clinical signifikance. Results: The classical dressage riders performed better in most of the tests. The modern dressage riders dominated in the MTC test, here the reaction for the backward shift was clinically significant (ES=1,2). When comparing the riders who regurally ride multiple horses...
