Evaluation of the short-term effect of physiotherapeutic techniques on spasticity in patients with spinal cord injury
Špačková, Anežka ; Hlinková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Kříž, Jiří (referee)
The subject of this thesis is spasticity in individuals with spinal lesions. The aim is to evaluate and compare a short-term effect of selected physio-therapeutic methods on spasticity of lower limbs in spinal patients. Two methods of comparison were chosen - passive stretching and the Vojta's reflex therapy. The work consists of two parts. The theoretical part describes the problems of spinal lesions, central motoneuron syndrome and spasticity, including its pathophysiology and investigation and therapeutic approaches. The practical part contains an attempt to verify and subsequently compare the immediate antispastic effect of the chosen methods, which is an important prerequisite for the following active exercises as an inseparable part of a physiotherapeutic exercise unit. Clinical evaluation scales are used to evaluate spasticity, namely Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and Muscle Excitability Scale (MES). The results are then compared with other studies and literature. Keywords spinal lesions, quadriplegia, Modified Ashworth Scale, Muscle Excitability Scale, Vojta's method, stretching

Title: Applying the DRUMS ALIVE program (drumming to gymnastic balls) for people after spinal cord injury Objectives: The aim of this thesis was to prepare and apply an exercise unit of the fitness program Drums Alive which would be adapted for individuals with spinal cord injury. Another aim was to find out individual reactions of the participants on the exercise. Methods: Exercise unit was applied in 2 women and 3 men (age 40-60 years). A questionnaire, observation and interview were used to assess clients' reactions on exercise and perceived benefit of the lesson on physical and psychological well-being. The benefits were viewed from the point of participants, instructor and sport therapist. Results: According to results we may suppose that exercise strengthen and release muscles and joints.

The BanalFatal program in spinal cord injury prevention.
Pokorný, Václav ; Vařeková, Jitka (advisor) ; Půlpán, David (referee)
Title: The BanalFatal program in spinal cord injury prevention Objectives: The main objective of this diploma thesis is to examine the subjective impressions of participants after the completion of this program (lesson) so that it is possible to assess the emotional impact of the program and its impact on the further behavior of children. Methods: A quantitative strategy was used for the research part of the thesis. For the purposes of the research, two original questionnaires were created. 6 primary schools were contacted, in which the BanalFatal program previously took place. The questionnaire, aimed at school prevention methodologists, was filled in by all addressed school staff, but only in 4 school facilities, it was possible to interview school pupils. Thus, 6 school prevention methodologists and 164 pupils from 4 selected primary schools (Prague 11, 4, Litoměřice, Dačice) were interviewed. The questionnaire for prevention methodologists contains closed, semi-closed, and open questions. The questionnaire for pupils was created in the form of a survey and contained only closed questions. Results: All school methodologists presume that attending the BanalFatal lecture will have a certain effect on students' change in behavior during risky activities. "Certainly yes" was stated by 1 and "rather...

The expert knowledge of ergonomics and occupational therapy shows their close interconnection linked with the issues of home environment of patients. The theoretical part is concluded by a list of requirements for wheelchair accessibility in home environment in accordance with Decree No. 398/2009 Coll. on general technical requirements to secure barrier-free usage of buildings. The second practical part of the thesis investigates the problem situations of three quadriplegic patients in detail. The main focus of the thesis is to examine the patients and their home environment. The tool Quadruplegia index of function was modified for this purpose to assess self-sufficiency and the methodology SEMAFOR home: Smart Evaluation Methodology of Accessibility FOR home was used to identify the problem areas of home environment of the patients.

Drahovzalová, Markéta ; Daďová, Klára (advisor) ; Píglová, Tereza (referee)
Name: Methods evaluating obesity degree in subjects with spinal cord injury The aim of the thesis: The aim of this work is to evaulate the degree of obesity in individuals after spinal cord injury using BMI for ordinary population, BMI adjusted for individuals after spinal cord injury and a percentage of body fat. Metodology: This is an empirical-theoretical work comparing the number of obese individuals after spinal cord injury with the use of different evaluation methods. 200 subjects after spinal cord injury (141 men, 59 women) were enrolled to the reasearch. The percentage of body fat was assessed using the BODYSAT 1500 device. BMI was calculated from body height and weight of the individuals. Results: The processing and subsequent evaluation of the measured data according to different methods found that more than half of the subjects fall into the category of overweight or obesity. In gender comparison, it was found that the majority of male subjecs are overweight or obese. On the other hand, most of the female subjects showed normal weight. It has also been found that paraplegics are more affected by obesity than subjects with tetraplegia (tetraparase). Comparison of percent body fat with adjusted BMI and BMI for the general population showed a better correlation of percent body fat with...
