Application of physiotherapy in treating myasthenia gravis
Ondráčková, Radka ; Smolíková, Libuše (advisor) ; Zounková, Irena (referee)
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease affecting the neuromuscular transmission. It manifests in muscular weakness and tiredness, which characteristically fluctuate and change throughout the time. The most typically affected muscles are extraocular, mimic, oropharyngeal and the muscles of lower and upper extremities. An examination of affected groups of muscles and preserving the function of respiratory muscles are essential. The danger of respiratory difficulties is aggravated by worsening physical condition, which comes as a consequence of muscular weakness and with the onset of the myasthenic crisis. This paper is aimed at using physiotherapy in treating a myasthenic patient. Considering the patient's condition, a respiratory physiotherapy, orofacial stimulation and kinesiotape may be used in therapy of these patients. The case study mentions also sensorimotor stimulation and nordic walking to improve physical fitness. The aim of the therapy is timely prevention of potential complications and their solving. The paper contains a case study of a myasthenic patient.

Multidisciplinary rehabilitation for pubescents patients with cerebral palsy
Buzková, Tereza ; Nývltová, Lucie (advisor) ; Zounková, Irena (referee)
Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive motor funciton development disorder which is caused by disruption of the immature brain. There is about 16 000 - 20 000 patients living in the Czech Republic with this diagnosis to date. Based on the clinical picture, specific forms of this disorder can be classified. Besides the motor funciton development disorder, the patients also suffer from other comorbidities (such as epilepsy, oropharyngeal dysphagia, sensory deficits etc.). Early diagnosis of this disorder is crucial. The severity of the motor function deficit is evaluated by monitoring the gross and fine motor function. Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive, not unchanging, disorder. The theoretic part of the thesis describes secondary issues which are present during pubescent period of the patients. They are dealing with growth disorders, reduced bone density and increased bone fragility. Plenty of risk factors precede these problems. Also, question of sexuality, life priorities and about future play a big role for the patients in their pubescent period. There are possibilities to solve these problems in terms of complex rehabilitation care. Especially in physiotherapy, occupational therapy and nutritional therapy. The practical part of the thesis is an example of an intensive rehabilitation care of a...

Diagnosis of developmental dyspraxia in children and adolescents with a focus on the preference of the upper or lower extremities in sport
Helebrantová, Soňa ; Kraus, Josef (advisor) ; Zounková, Irena (referee)
Diploma thesis "Diagnosis of developmental dyspraxia in children and adolescents with a focus on the preference of the upper or lower extremities in sport" summarizes all available information about etiology, diagnosis and therapy of developmental dyspraxia in the theoretical part. The practical part deals with the use of the diagnostic test Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2, which is designed to identify motor disorders in children. Developmental dyspraxia is very often associated with attention problems so the Test of Attention d2 was used. Difficulty with attention has been confirmed in individuals with impaired physical abilities. There was no significant difference in the overall motor skills between handball players and soccer players. The evaluation of particular components showed significantly better results for girls playing handball in the field of manual dexterity.

Surgical treatment of Brachial plexus birth palsy and possibilities of Physiotherapy
Šolcová, Monika ; Zounková, Irena (advisor) ; Horáček, Ondřej (referee)
Obstetrical palsy of upper limb results from a perinatal lesion of brachial plexus nervous bunch. The incidence of this disease ranges from 0.42 to 5.1 / 1,000 live births. If the palsy isn't diagnosed early and treated adequately, child will be threatened by major consequences later. This work provides the reader with the current view on the surgical treatment of patients with brachial plexus birth palsy. It gives a comprehensive overview on early neurosurgical intervention and secondary orthopaedic reconstruction. It submits opinions on indicating criteria. It describes the main charakteristic and results of operations. It refers to the fact that the choice of a surgical procedure can be essential in therapy. The aim of this work is also to characterize the fundamental aspects of postoperative physiotherapy, which simultaneously goes along with the process of intervention therapy. The practical part of this work includes a case of a patient after a neurosurgical performance. It describes the preoperative examinations, the performed surgery and the implementation of postoperative rehabilitation.

The effect of botulotoxine on muscle spasticity
Kohútová, Martina ; Kraus, Josef (advisor) ; Zounková, Irena (referee)
The thesis objective was to validate theoretical knowledge on botulinum toxin effects on spastic muscles in practice. Botulinum toxin effects were evaluated in a group of 34 paediatric patients who attended the outpatient Department of Paediatric Neurology of the Motol University Hospital for this purpose. The patient study always took one month, recording muscular tonicity before and after botulinum toxin application. The results have confirmed botulinum toxin A positive effects on pathological muscular hypertonicity. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Testing of Developmental Dyspraxia in Children and Adolescents in Martial Arts - Judo and Taekwondo
Hrbková, Lucie ; Kraus, Josef (advisor) ; Zounková, Irena (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the level of motor skills in children and adolescents dealing with judo and taekwondo and to determine whether the level of motor skills differs between children with a suspected risk of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) compared to children without this risk. Another aim of this study is to evaluate the level of attention and find out whether it correlates with the level of motor skills. A total of 65 probands aged 9-13 years participated in the study. The experimental groups consisted of children competing in judo (n = 35), children practicing taekwondo (n = 19) and children attending taekwondo classes in physical education and hobby groups (n = 11). The Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2 test was chosen to test motor skills. To detect a suspected risk of ADHD was used the Test Go / NoGo and the level of attention was tested by theTest of attention d2. A significant difference in favour of judists was found between the results of motor skills of children and adolescents in comparison with the racing group of taekwondists (p = 0.045) and also in the results of individual components, namely in the balance component (p = 0.051). A significant difference was found in motor skills among children with a suspected risk of ADHD compared to...

Timely diagnosis of motor function in children with intrauterine growth retardation and possibilities for its influencing with the aid of physiotherapeutic methods
Zounková, Irena ; Kučera, Miroslav (advisor) ; Jandová, Dobroslava (referee) ; Mrzena, Bohuslav (referee)
Title: Timely diagnosis of motor function in children with intrauterine growth retardation and possibilities for its influencing with the aid of physiotherapeutic methods This dissertation focuses on the examination of children with locomotive coordination disorder that were born with the risk of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) in their case history. This work calls attention to notable postural deviations in the 5 th week of life of children that affect their motor development in the first year of life and could be a risk indicator for the emergence of postural deviations typical for children's defective posture (VDT). Aim: to confirm the methodological practice when assessing qualitative indicators of the most serious deviations of locomotive manifestations from physiological development of movement in the 5 th week of a child's life with the aid of developmental kinesiology. To confirm the effectivity of physiotherapeutic methods applied at an early age of the neonate. To emphasize the necessity of timely initiation of physiotherapy before the 3 rd month of a child's life within the framework of complex care for children with the risk of IUGR in their case history. Task: to evaluate the development of symptoms of postural deviations in the first four months of a child's life. To assess...
