The influence of woman's masectomy on breathing movements
Koudelková, Klára ; Ravnik, David (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Title: The influence of woman's masectomy on breathing movements Objectives: The aim of this work is to investigate influence of total mastectomy on range of breathing motion. We compare women after mastectomy and healthy women. The next goal is to investigate presence of asymetry these movements between surgical and nonsurgical side. We again compare results of women after mastectomy and healthy women. I would like to point to need of care for the scar, thanks to which we can minimize its negative effects. Methods: In our thesis we used optoelectronic kinematic analyzer Qualisys to measure range of motion of thoracic and abdominal wall during breathing. We made measurement during quiet and deep breathing. More facts about patient's condition we obtained through kinesiology examination. Results: We found out that total mastectomy have an effect on range of breathing motion in women after this operation. The surgery side show lower range of motion during breathing. It means that we found presence of asymmetry theses movements between surgical and nonsurgical side. The biggest asymmetry was present in third line (cca level of fifth rib). These findings we can see during quiet and deep breathing and prove our claim about the need of care for scar. Keywords: breathing movements, total mastectomy,...

Zdražila, Václav ; Barták, Erik (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Title Effect of shooting stances on ballistic protection of the shooter Objectives The goal of this thesis is to develop a method which could measure ballistic protection, which is currently provided by a bulletproof vest to the shooter in a current shooting stance. This work also focuses on analysis of the currently used shooting techniques and shooting stances, comparison of protection they can provide, and last but not least, to fill the gap in literature, wich deals with this issue. Methods This is an empirical thesis of observational character. Shooting stances were tested on a camera system named Qualisys. The results were first processed by a program for 3D analysis, and the ballistic protection provided by the bulletproof vest in different positions was calculated in a program for 3D modeling. Results: From the measured data, it was found that changing targets to the left (for right- handed) the provided ballistic protection significantly changes to worse. Conversely, when changing targets to the right, the ballistic protection faired the same or slightly better than aiming forward. The worst results of all stances came from the side shooting stance in which the bulletproof vest provided almost no protection. Keywords Ballistic protection, shooting stances, Qualisys, 3d analysis, vital zone
The effect of kinesiotape application on rheological properties of the knee joint with chondromalacia patellae
Mertová, Petra ; Lopot, František (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Author: Bc. Petra Mertová Title: The effect of kinesiotape application on rheological properties of the knee joint with chondromalacia patellae Problem definition: Chondromalacia patellae is a very frequent diagnosis related to knee injuries. Diagnosing chondromalacia is very difficult. Knee arthroscopy is the best method for evaluating the cartilage condition, however this technique is invasive. Kinesiotaping is a therapeutic method extensively used to affect knee pain. Patellar taping is an effective method in improving symptoms resulting from patellofemoral joint problems, nevertheless the evaluation of its effect has not yet been objectively investigated. Aim of the thesis: The aim of this study is firstly to discover the possibility to noninvasively detect chondromalacia patellae using the method of biorheometry and secondly to discover the impact of kinesiotaping on rheological properties of the knee joint with chondromalacia patellae. Method: The designed experiment was performed as a pilot case study using the method of biorheometry. The history of the patient was monitored using a questionnaire and by a clinical examination of the knee joint. Two questionnaires were created to evaluate the functional state of the knee joint. Measurements were done on a special device called biorheometer....

Černochová, Tereza ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Název práce: Biomechanická odezva placenty na mechanickou zátěž Title: Biomechanical response ofplacenta dutiny mechanicalloading Cíl práce: Cílem diplomové práce bylo změřit a definovat základní materiálové vlastnosti biologického materiálu - zralé placenty a jejích chorioamniotických blan při impaktním zatížení. Metoda: Praktická část proběhla ve třech fázích. V první fázi byly zajištěny vzorky lidské zralé placenty. Bylo nutné schválení experimentu etickou komisí a zajistit odběr vzorků. Vzorky byly odebrány po porodu fyziologickou cestou ve spolupráci s gynekologicko - porodnickými klinikami FN- Královské vinohrady. Následně byly vzorky uloženy ve fyziologickém roztoku a uchovány 1 den v chladu. (Yamada - uchování amnionu, 1970). Nebylo použito fixačních materiálů, aby nedošlo ke zkreslení měřených vlastností. Bylo potřeba zjistit způsob uchycení měřeného vzorku, potřebnou velikost vzorku a místo z jaké části placenty bude vzorek odebrán. V druhé fázi probíhalo měření biomechanických vlastností. Biomechanické vlastnosti byly měřeny na speciálním trhacím zařízení, které umožňuje prostý tah, prostý krut, kombinaci tah - krut. V tomto případě byly vzorky placenty zatěžovány prostým tahem. Byla prováděna trhací zkouška s plynulým zatížením až do destrukce vzorku zralé placenty a jejich zárodečných...
Dynamic Response of Pregnant Belly and Discomfort in Late Stage of Pregnancy
Povolná, Zuzana ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Objective: To detect efficiency of pregnancy belt during the low back pain condition in the late stage of pregnancy based on literature search, theory and experiment. Methods: Two participants in the late stage of pregnancy with low back pain condition participated in this experiment. We focused on vibration dampening capacity of a pregnant abdomen using Qualisys a Kistler technique, while using different types of pregnancy belt as a support of the lumbopelvic area. In the second part of the experiment we tested particular pregnancy belt - Cellacare® Materna and its effectiveness on reduction of low back pain at twelve pregnant women, for this purpose we used one standardised questionnaire - Roland-Morris Low Back Pain and Disability Questionnaire. Results: It appears that there is no difference in reduction of vibration dampening capacity of pregnant abdomen even if different types of pregnancy belts used. Conclusion: Upon the gained results we can say that the pragnancy belt reduces low back pain in the late stage of pregnancy but probably not by the reduction of the abdomen vibration. It can be supposed that by using the pregnancy belt we can change ballasted characterisations of the lumbar area - the pain disappears. Keywords: late stage of pregnancy, low back pain, support belt, damping of abdomen...
