Perception of physiotherapy in context of complex rehabilitation of clients in the Retirement home and in the Home for Disabled People i Újezdec in Klatovy region
WAWREČKOVÁ KROUPOVÁ, Miroslava
The Bachelor Thesis is focused on perception of physiotherapy in the context of comprehensive rehabilitation relating to clients living in the retirement home and the home for disabled people in Újezd near Klatovy. Recently, it used to be forgetting the physiotherapy within complex rehabilitation at the retirement home and the home for disabled people. My primary aim is to find out how the importance of physiotherapy is perceived by clients and by employees of the chosen facility. The Thesis is divided into two parts, the theoretical part and the practical part. The theoretical part is divided into several chapters. The first two chapters of the theoretical part are focused on population, which is growing old with regard to material security and finding the meaning of life. Old age is not a disease. It is an evolutionary normal state of every human being. In the next two chapters of the theoretical part there are described chosen homes and their function, their target clients and provided services. Following four chapters deal with tools of rehabilitation, which are connected and they are distinguished by well-timing, compactness, completeness. As a follow-up a chapter which is focused on team cooperation of which is to keep or improve quality of living in the most natural environment and prevent social excluding. The last chapter of theoretical part deals with activation activities which belong to fundamental activities provided within social services and they contribute to maintaining or improving psychological, physical and social state of seniors. The practical part contains the research which investigates clients and emploees´ opinion about physiotherapy, especially its importance during maintaining of locomotor system and its methods which are used at chosen facilities. Employees were also asked about other activation activities which can be used by their clients. The research uses a strategy of the qualitative study with a technique of the half-structured interview. During studying of personal documentation there was used the method which is called the analysis of personal data. The research is concerning six clients of the two homes and three specialized employees who work with the clients. Results of their interviews were compared and evaluated. The principal aim of the Thesis was to find out how clients perceive the importance of physiotherapy at chosen homes and obtain answers to three research questions. The first question occupied with service which is offered to clients at homes within the complex rehabilitation. The second question is focused on the subjective evaluation of service which is provided within the complex rehabilitation. And the last question deals with the employees perception how they perceive physiotherapy in connection with the complex rehabilitation. As it follows from the results, clients have a large choice of activation activities or tools of rehabilitation and that clients are satisfied at their homes. According to the opinion of respondents and employees, physiotherapy is very important in comparison to other activation activities or tools of rehabilitation, like group and individual exercise, which are the most popular. Another participation of clients in activation activities depends on current interest of taking part in activation.
Impact of daily living activities on vertebral lumbar spine problems
SÁBLÍKOVÁ, Ivana
This thesis deals with the impact of daily living activities on vertebral lumbar spine problems. The lumbar spine is the most common part occurrence of pain because movements of legs and pelvis are transferred there. The source of these problems is usually an incorrect execution of daily activities. During these activities groups of muscles are unevenly loaded and the spine is not well stabilized. The aim of this thesis is to find out the influence of the daily living activities on vertebral lumbar spine problems, discover how much it is important to do these activities properly and also outline the possibilities of physiotherapy and kinesiology as a prevention and treatment of these problems. The theoretical part describes the anatomy of the lumbar spine and its functions, posture and deportment, daily activities that affect the lumbar spine, proper implementation of these activities and, finally, the possibility of physiotherapy for pain in the lumbar part of the spine. The practical part is based on a qualitative research. The focus group of my research consisted of two women, aged 20 and 44 years and one man, aged 23. All of them suffered from low back pain. The physiotherapy treatment was applied for eight weeks, once a week under my supervision, and the patients were asked to do the required set of exercises every other day. At the beginning of the therapy anamnesis was collected by interview, entry kinesiological analysis was made, documentation was added and the short-term kinesiotherapeutic plan was established. Before treatment, I set a training unit that was individually adjusted, according to the current abilities of each respondent. The file of exercises contained spinal exercises, the deep stabilizing system activation, the correct respiratory stereotype activation, exercises from the methods of Ludmila Mojžíšová and elements of the dynamic neuromuscular stabilization. The final kinesiology analysis was conducted at the end of the therapy, it included photo documentation and a long-term kinesiotherapeutic plan was established. All probants improved respiratory stereotype, overall posture during everyday activities and the pain mitigates in the lumbar spine.
Possibilities of physiotherapy in vertebral problems connected with children headache at the age from 0-15 years
PROCHÁZKOVÁ, Nikol
This thesis describes possibilities of physiotherapy for children under 15 years of age suffering from headaches associated with low back problems. Nowadays, children sit prolongated periods of time using computers and mobile phones. It often leads to poor posture, which can cause headaches. Improper sitting leads to weakening of trunk muscles, kyphotic spine, and neck muscle group overload. The aim of this study is to explore vertebral problems associated with headaches and propose specific options of physiotherapy to improve overall posture. The study consists of theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part describes the anatomy of a spine and its connection to a head, and headache causes. Then it describes possibilities of physiotherapy to be used in case of a vertebral headache and issues. The practical part was processed by means of qualitative research. It consists of study objectives, methodology and results of the research. In a test group there were three children aged 9 to 15, two boys and one girl. Therapy was carried out every week for two months. Based on an input kinesiology test, each test person was assigned a short- and long-term rehabilitation and exercise plan. At the end of the therapy, the subjects had output kinesiology examination, the results were compared, and also evaluated by the subjects. The process is documented by photographs of the entry and exit inspections and sample exercises. With all test subjects, the headache receded, the respiratory stereotype was corrected and overall posture improved.
Stabilizing function and elasticity of muscle tissue and their possible effect on acute and chronical injuries of lower back and lower limbs in football
JŮN, Pavel
This bachelor thesis deals with the problems of stabilizing function and elasticity of lower limb muscles and their possible relationship to acute and chronical disorders of a lower back and lower limbs in football. The thesis is divided into two main parts. In the first part of the thesis theoretical knowledge about connective tissues,articular and muscle system as the components of the muscular sytem with the emphasis on its stabilizing function are described. In this theoretical part terms connected with ability to create and keep the stability of the body or its individual segments during the influence of external power are also defined. The most common injuries of the lower limbs during football playing are also described as same as mechanism of their origin. Possibilities of physioteraphy as possible prevention of particular types of injuries. The second practical part is worked out on the basis of modified kinesiologic analysis performed at selected players of football club TJ Sokol Černovice. Research sample is characterised here and the reasons why this sample was chosen are explained here.For the research itself anamnestic data were taken by the form of interview. After that aspection examination took place. Then the probands went through the line of the tests which invetigated the state of shoretning of the key muscles groups and their stabilizing function. According to above mentined components of investigation the final modified kinesiologic analysis was done. On the basis of in advance created subjective range which was definied by the therapist final evalution was set. Data gained during this analysis were compared with obtained anamnestic data. The aim of the thesis was to find out how much the quality of torso stabilizers and lower limbs together with the elasticity of lower limbs can be connected with the amount of injuries and with myofascial pain syndroms of a back and lower limbs. On the basis of ascertained data we can presume that insufficient stabilizing function and shortening of lower limbs muscles can be connected with the amount of injuries and myofascial pain syndromes.
Possible ways how to affect lymphoedema after breast ablation in physiotherapy
JANÍKOVÁ, Anna
This thessis focuses on breast carcinoma which is a serious illness. I am devoting to problematics of lymphedema resulting from breast ablation. The aim of theoretical part of this thessis is to describe the problematics of this illness. I am focusing on the treatment complications, especially lymphedema which is very common complication. Practical part of this thessis was realized on observing the lymphedema of patiens according to physical excercise and another possibilities of treatment. The metodics of practical part was based on qualitative research. The research was carried out on cooperation with three patiens who went through surgical treatment, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. All three patinets went througt treatment course two or three years ago and were selected considerng to surgery range. I used the methods of interview, anamnesis, kinesiology analyses and analysis of medical records. The results were processed into a case studies. The entrance examination data were acquired at the beggining of the observating and the final examination data were acguired three month later. The observating confirmed my hypothesis that physical excercising and following recommended regime leads to lymphedema reduction.

The possibilities of physiotherapy in functional disorders of the shoulder girdle table tennis players
TENGLOVÁ, Vendula
This thesis deals with the issue of functional disorders of the shoulder girdle for table tennis players. If there is excessive unilateral load at the playing upper extremity and it is not appropriately compensated, the formation of the muscle imbalances, especially in the area of the shoulder girdle can appear. This overload can occur not only with pain in the shoulder but also in other joints of the upper limb or cervical or thoracic spine. Ensuring adequate compensation can prevent an uneven load and thereby reduce the risk of malfunctions or early termination of a racing career. The aim of this thesis is to map the functional disorders of the shoulder girdle for table tennis players and based on kinesiology examination devise specific physiotherapy procedure and compensation program for table tennis players with functional disorders of the shoulder girdle. The theoretical part deals with the characteristics of table tennis and all related health problems. Further, I describe the anatomy and kinesiology of the shoulder girdle, functional disorders; in the end, I mention diagnostic and physiotherapy for functional disorders of the shoulder girdle. The practical part uses the method of qualitative research through case reports. The study group included two professional table tennis players of Southern Bohemia with functional disorders of the shoulder girdle. Data have been obtained by anamnesis using a structured interview, input and output kinesiological analysis completed by an examination of the shoulder girdle movement stereotypes on surface electromyography. As part of the therapy, I used the soft and mobilisation techniques to release reflex changes and functional joint blocks. I also used a selected therapeutic procedures affecting the present muscle imbalances, improving the stabilisation of the shoulder girdle, affecting movement stereotypes and activate the deep stabilising system. Selected therapeutic procedures have proved effectiveness. In both cases, the pain was reduced, shoulder line symmetrised, stress at the hypertonic muscles reduced and the stability of the shoulder girdle was improved. This work could be beneficial not only for table tennis coaches but also for the players themselves to prevent malfunctions or mitigate them. Furthermore, it can be used in clinical practice for physiotherapists and physiotherapy students.
