Accurate pedometers function using the autocalibration
Kučera, Lukáš ; Slabý, Kryštof (advisor) ; Procházka, Michal (referee)
v angličtině Aim: The aim of this study is to explore the possibilities of accurate pedometer functions through a partial removal of individual measurement errors for a particular pair of pedometer- proband, using the auto-calibration of walking for the previously known distance. Methods: They will be used pedometers of mechanical type YAMAX SW-200 and fully electronic type OMRON HJ-720. Thirty adults from 18 to 69 years old (11 men, 19 women) took part in this study. In the pilot phase will be suggesting of a sufficiently long sections of known length (100 m, 300 m a 1000 m) and auto-calibration on a flat track. Own attempt will consist in landscaping measurement. Resulsts: From everage lengths and from the number of steps, which we measured, is possible to determine distance, which probands covered. The biggest aproach was to real distance 1000 m in case we used everage length of step from distance 300 m. In this case undervaluation of the distance reached in Omron 7 % and with Yamax just 10 %. Howewer the distance as well for Omron was overvalued in 27 % probands and for Yamax it was in 20 % probands. Conclusion: The best possibility seems to be average length of step, which is couted from distance for 100 m. Although there is undervaluation more frequent, overvalution is minimal. It will be...
Therapeutic rehabilitation in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Helebrantová, Soňa ; Zounková, Irena (advisor) ; Smolíková, Libuše (referee)
The juvenile idiopathic arthritis disease (JIA) is the most common chronic rheumatic disease in childhood and a significant cause of acquired disability in children and adolescents. Patients suffer from acute and chronic pain, reduced mobility, and stiffness in the joints, which leads to a limitation in physical activity. The bachelor thesis includes the latest information about JIA in connection with therapeutic rehabilitation- physiotherapy. It deals with the effect of the disease on the function of the musculoskeletal system, and the ways in which therapeutic rehabilitation can effect already developed disorders. The thesis consists of two sections. The first part is theoretical and includes information from the literature, with focus on information that has been published in Czech and foreign literature over the last 10 years. The second part is devoted to case report of a patient with JIA, including an examination, a course of rehabilitation and its effects on overall health. In the therapy there were used questionnaires about physical activity, such as C-HAQ, methods based on developmental kinesiology or kinesiotaping. The main benefit of the thesis is the analysis of all available therapeutic methods in patients with JIA. The emphasis is placed on medical rehabilitation - physiotherapy,...
Body composition in patitents with systemic sclerosis
Česák, Michal ; Tomčík, Michal (advisor) ; Coufalová, Klára (referee)
Title: Body composition of patients with systemic sclerosis Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare selected parameters of body composition in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) with a group of age- and sex-matched healthy individuals (CG). Another objective was to evaluate the effect of selected clinical parameters in patients with SSc on the detected variability of the parameters of body composition and on physical activity of patients. Methods: The research group N = 95, group SSc (n = 59), control group (n = 36). Anthropometry (body height [cm], weight [kg], BMI [kg/m2 ]), bioelectrical impedance analysis - BIA 2000 (body fat - BF [%], total body water - TBW [%], lean body mass - LBM [kg], body cell mass - BCM [kg], BCM of FFM [%], the ECM / BCM); DEXA - Lunar Series iDXA (bone mineral density - BMD [g/m3 ], lean body mass - LBM [kg] body fat - BF [%], visceral fat - VF [kg] questionnaire on physical activity Human Activity Profile. Statistics: T test/Mann-Whitney U test, Cohen's d/partial eta squared (η2 ). Results: The results are presented as mean ± SD: body height: SSc 166.5 ± 7.1 cm, CG 171.2 ± 8.3 cm; body weight: SSc 62.4 ± 10.7 kg, CG 77.3 ± 11.9 kg; BMI: SSc 22.4 ± 4.3 kg/m2 , CG 26.4 ± 3.3 kg/m2 ; BF % BIA: SSc 24.6 % ± 7.8 %; CG 31.1 % ± 6.4 %; BF % DEXA: SSc 32.6 ± 8.2...
Body composition in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
Mareček, Ondřej ; Česák, Petr (advisor) ; Kinkorová, Ivana (referee)
Title: Body composition in patients with idiopatic inflammatory myopathies Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare selected parameters of body composition in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) with age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC). Another objective was to evaluate the effect of selected clinical parameters in patients with IIM on the detectedvariability of the parameters of body composition and on physical activity of patients. Methods: The research sample consisted of 84 individuals (54 IIM, 30 HC). In anthropometry, we measured: body height (cm), weight (kg) and BMI (kg/m2 ). Using bioelectrical impedance analysis BIA 2000-M we obtained values: total body water (TBW in%), muscle mass (LBM in kg), body fat (BF in%) cell mass of lean body mass (BCM of FFM in%), and the proportion of extracellular/intracellular matrix (ECM/BCM). Using Lunar series iDXA we obtained values: muscle mass (LBM in kg), body fat (BF in %), bone mineral density (BMD in g/cm3 ), and visceral fat (Visceral in kg). To these measured values we added a questionnaire on physical activity Human Acitvity Profile (HAP). Statistics: T-test, Mann Whitney U test, Cohen's d, and Partialeta-squared. Results: Selected values (mean ± SD): body height: IIM 164.7 ± 9.1 cm, HC 170.3 ± 7 cm; body weight:...

Paulusová, Denisa ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Jasanská, Kateřina (referee)
Title: Influence of overweight and obesity in children of preschool age Objectives: The first aim is to process a literature review of Czech and foreign authors. Based on this review a survey dealing with this issue will be analysed evaluated. Methods: Summary of literature review, devising a survey dealing with the issue, which resulted from the studied literature. Parents of preschool children, who visit "Kroužky", where involved in this survey. Results of 100 respondents will be investigated and assessed in the results of this work. Results: Literature review showed that more children are obese. Physical options of preschool children are affected by using modern technology. The result of survey is that preschool children spend more time in virtual world than performing physical activity. Eating habits is another factor that affects overweight and obesity. Nevertheless the overweight and obesity were occured, 95 % of all survey children have breakfast. In influencing obesity we should instead focus on quality of intake food. Keywords: overweight, obesity, life style, physical aktivity, Body mass index (BMI)

Palacká, Klára ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title: Possibilities of physiotherapy in pregnancy Objectives: The aim of this study is to create a comprehensive overview of current knowledge concerning the issue of pregnancy from the point of view of a physiotherapist. Literature resources will be collected in order to provide information about the frequent difficulties of pregnant women in the context of the musculoskeletal system and their possible treatment by physiotherapy and also about physical activity during pregnancy. Methods: This study is a literature review. It is a theoretical study primarily based on foreign sources found in electronic databases such as Pubmed, EBSCO, OvidSP, Google Scholar and ProQuest. 139 foreign studies related to pregnancy were included, of which 133 were published between the years 2000 and 2015. Next 6 studies published from 1978 to 1999 were found in the primary sources. A combination of the following keywords was used to search the databases: pregnancy, physical therapy, physiotherapy, physiological changes, low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, pelvic floor muscles, musculoskeletal problems, foot arch, exercise, physical activity, gestational diabetes mellitus, preeclampsia. Results: There are a lot of studies concerning to this issue, but in many cases they are too heterogeneous to draw clear conclusions....
