Changes in pulmonary function and cardiac activity during reflex rolling stimulation according to Vojta
Charvátová, Zuzana ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Martínek, Milan (referee)
Author: Zuzana Charvátová Title: Changes in pulmonary function and cardiac activity during reflex rolling stimulation according to Vojta Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate accompanying non-locomotive manifestations within the comprehensive response to stimulation of trigger zones from the concept of reflex locomotion according to Professor Vojta, which are a reflection of the function of the autonomic nervous system. Changes in respiratory parameters and changes in cardiac activity have been selected from these manifestations. Methods: The research was conducted on 26 healthy adult women aged 19-25 years. Reflex rolling according to Vojta from the supine position (RO - 1st phase) was chosen. Pressure stimulation was applied from the left chest trigger zone between the 6th and 7th rib for 10 minutes. Each subject also underwent apparent (sham) stimulation in the same position (RO - 1st phase), lasting 10 minutes, but on the right side of the chest between the 2nd and 3rd rib. Due to the possible lingering effect of pressure stimulation during VRL, sham stimulation was always preceded by experimental stimulation. A 10-minute break was taken between the two cycles. Data for the analysis of changes in lung function were obtained by spirometric measurements of FVC, FEV1, and PEF before...

Halková, Andrea ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Vláčilová, Ivana (referee)
Title : Preconditions of feedback mechanism in telerehabilitation Objectives: The aim of this master thesis was to determine whether and under what conditions it is possible to objectively assess the exercise execution, according to predefined parameters of given exercise remotely, based on vide-recording only. Methods: 40 probands, a healthy adult population, were included in the evaluation, for which video recordings of the exercises were made. These exercises were then judged by 75 raters-more or less experienced specialists in the field-according to preset conditions. They were evaluated for their agreement with each other, their agreement with themselves when the same video was repeated, and the difference between the ratings according to their length of practice. Parameter analysis was performed according to the agreement in their ratings, or the differences between the rating parameters in terms of their specificity. The measured values were statistically and graphically processed.. Results : It has been shown that the correctness of the exercise execution can be remotely evaluated, especially if specific parameters are selected, mostly those for which it is easy to determine the truth value. A higher degree of objectivity and therefore inter-rater agreement is achieved by raters with longer...
