Correlation between inspiratory muscle strength and fitness in patients before lung transplantation
Stehnová, Tereza ; Babková, Lenka (advisor) ; Wanke, Ondřej (referee)
Introduction: Exercise capacity is frequently limited in lung transplantation candidates which can result in worse clinical outcomes of the transplantation itself. There can be several factors limiting exercise capacity, the purpose of this thesis is to determine the influence of inspiratory muscle strenght on reduced exercise capacity in these patients. The aim of this study is also to evaluate whether the Timed Up and Go Test is feasible for exercise capacity assessment in lung transplantation candidates as an alternative for the Six- Minute Walking Test. Methods: 14 patients with end-stage chronic lung disease considered for the lung transplantation waiting list inclusion performed Six-Minute Walking Test, Timed Up and Go Test and inspiratory muscle strenght evaluation using POWERbreathe® K5 (S-Index value). Correlations of the results of these tests were investigated. They were also evaluated separately for a group of patients with inspiratory muscle weakness (S-Index values lower than 80 % of predicted values). Results: No statistically significant correlation was found between exercise capacity tests and inspiratory muscle strenght. The correlation between the results of Six-Minute Walking Test and S-Index values was higher in patients with inspiratory muscle weakness. Statistically...

Effect of yoga therapy on quality of life and exercise tolerance in patients with COPD.
Nováková, Růžena ; Wanke, Ondřej (advisor) ; Smolíková, Libuše (referee)
This thesis deals with the effect of yoga therapy on exercise tolerance, quality of life, dynamic lung parameters, respiratory muscle strength and mental state of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this thesis is to summarize the existing knowledge about the effect of yoga and yoga therapy on the health status of COPD patients, to develop a proposal for a specific yoga therapy, to elaborate this therapy into a patient information material and to verify its effect practically in a case study of a COPD patient. The theoretical part deals with the basic principles of yoga, description of COPD, development of a summary of current knowledge on the effect of yoga therapy on the health status of patients with this disease and design of a specific yoga therapy. The practical part is presented in the form of a case report of a COPD patient who underwent a 13week yoga intervention. The objective methods of assessing the success of the therapy are a six-minute walk test, anthropometric examination of chest dynamics, selected functional tests according to the Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) concept, St. George Respiratory Questionnaire, COPD Assessment Test and quantification of breathlessness using a modified breathlessness scale Medical Research Council. The...

Attitude of professional yoga practitioners to the risk of injury in yoga classes
Trdlová, Adéla ; Novotná, Klára (advisor) ; Wanke, Ondřej (referee)
Bibliographical record TRDLOVÁ, Adéla. Attitude of professional yoga practitioners to the risk of injury in yoga classes. Prague: Charles University, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Department of Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, 2022. 73 pp., 4 att. Thesis supervisor Mgr. et Mgr. Klára Novotná, Ph.D. Abstract This bachelor's thesis deals with the subject of yoga. The theoretical part contains basic information and concepts for a closer understanding of the topic and describes the effects of practicing yoga on the organism. The possibillities of using yoga in therapy and rehabilitation are presented through specific studies. The theoretical part contains possible side effects or injuries that may be encountered during yoga practice and also includes prevention of these side effects and injuries. The purpose of the practical part is to find out how professional yoga instructors deal with the health aspects of their clients' exercises and whether they have experience with injury in their yoga classes. The results are based on data collected from a questionnaire survey which was filled by 106 yoga instructors. A total of 12 (11,3 %) of the participants reported that have experienced a yoga-related injury in their classes. There was no increase in the incidence of injuries in yoga classes among instructors who do...

The effect of hypermobile elbow joint position on hand position in yoga poses.
Wanke, Ondřej ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Králová, Aneta (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the effect of elbow joint position on the position of hand in selected yoga poses (cat pose, downward facing dog pose, upward facing dog pose). Then evaluate the suitability of verbal correction of elbow joint - that is often used in yoga classes. The theoretical part includes information about yoga, hypermobility, anatomy and kinesiology of elbow joint and hand and their mutual relationship. We include literature review of different views on the correct position of hand in poses where the upper limb is in supporting function. In 11 probands (10 females and 1 male) was measured the hyperextension (20.91 ± 4.68 degrees) of elbow joint on the dominant limb. Probands were at age of 27.6 ± 11.1 years. 3 of them regularly practice yoga, another 4 have met with yoga at least once. To evaluate the effect of elbow joint position on the position of hand we used pressure scan PEDIKOM to measure pressure distribution on palm. We also measured the angle of elbow joint before and after the correction using the goniometer. To evaluate palmar pressure changes we made a new evaluating scale. Hyperextended position was significant in cat pose (p < 0,05), in other two poses it was not (p > 0,05). The change of elbow joint position after correction was significant in all three...
