Among physiotherapists there is high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, which disrupt their personal and work life. Substantial part of them reports, first disorders begun when they studied pregradual physiotherapy, which corresponds with modern research among physiotherapy students. The goal of this thesis is to measure prevalence of functional disorders in population of physiotherapy students. In this study were 23 participants with average age of 20, which consisted of 21 women and 2 men. All functional disorders were examined during practical courses in subject "Fyzioterapie I", according to methodology taught on 3. faculty of medicine on Charles University. Examined functional disorders consisted of: side differences of anatomical circumference of limbs, range of motion in joints, trigger points, shortened muscles, hypermobility and examination by sight. Muscle, which were shortened most often, was mm. erectores trunci and hamstring muscles. No significant difference was found in range of motion examination, same as in examination of length and circumference of limbs. Most prevalent pathology found in examination by sight was position of shoulders, pelvic, and examination with plumb line from side. Out of 56 muscles trigger points without motoric response were found in 39 % and trigger...

Müller, Michael ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Vláčilová, Ivana (referee)
Title: The influence of flossing band on range of motion of hip joint in grappling athletes Objectives: The objective of this thesis is to determine the effectiveness of the therapeutic method "tissue flossing" in increasing the range of motion of hip rotations among recreational level grappling athletes, and whether this effect persists after a 60-minute grappling training session or during daily activities. Methods: The experimental research involved 20 healthy participants engaged in recreational- level-grappling. All participants were men aged between 18-35 years. The research consisted of four sets of measurements conducted in two rounds, referred to as input and output measurements. In the first set, an input measurement was taken to establish the baseline range of motion for hip rotation in the right lower extremity, followed by an output measurement of the values for external and internal rotation in the hip joint after a 60-minute grappling session led by an expert coach. The second set included both input and output measurements taken before and after the 60-minute training session. However, specific exercises to enhance hip rotations were incorporated before the second input measurement. The third measurement followed the same procedure as the second set, with the addition of treating...

Comparison of selected regeneration techniques affecting the range of motion of the hip joint at ice hockey players
Stibor, Adam ; Křivánková, Markéta (advisor) ; Prokešová, Eva (referee)
Title: Comparison of selected regenerative techniques affecting hip joint range of motion in ice hockey players. Objectives: The aim of this study is to identify the most effective regenerative technique among those preselected for range of motion in the hip joint. At the same time, to compare each regeneration technique with each other and to determine the quality of regeneration in selected ice hockey players. Methods: In our work we used the method of analysis and comparison. The method of analysis is used to clarify statistically significant measurement data and the method of comparison is used to compare the individual regeneration techniques. In our work we used sports massage, rolling and massage gun. The Sit and Reach Test (SRT), Passive Straight Leg Raise (PSLR), Maximal Hip Flexion Active Knee Extension (MHFAKE) and Passive Knee Extension Test (PKET) were used to measure range of motion. Additional information on the quality of regeneration of the probands playing ice hockey is provided by a non-standardized questionnaire that concludes this research. Results: We found a significant increase in hip range of motion with the massage gun (p=0.004982). This increased range of motion persisted for three days. Range of motion also increased after application of the foam roller, but the results...

Demiryol, Deniz ; Vomáčková, Helena (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
Title: A case study of physiotherapeutic treatment about a patient with disc herniation with L5/S1 with radiculopathy. Thesis goal: This thesis is separated into two parts. Theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part involves anatomy, kinesiology, biomechanics, multiple case studies, and the physiotherapist's point of view of the problems that lumbar disc herniation can cause to a patient on a daily basis. The practical part is based on anamnesis and patient concerns in addition to treating and curing the main symptoms caused by disc herniation L5/S1 with radiculopathy. Method: During 6 therapy sessions working along with my supervisor Bc. Ales Nesvadba I was applying practical and theoretical knowledge from my studies. Therapy that is applied includes breathing exercises, postural correction, soft tissue technique according to Lewit, stretching and relaxation by post isometric relaxation (PIR), ADL exercises, and strengthening technique (PNF). These techniques were used by isotonic and isometric exercises, followed by kinesiological examination and therapy results. For the active exercises, there was physiotherapeutic equipment used to reach the best possible goal for the patient. Result: Following 6 therapy sessions the patient could feel the relaxation of the restricted fascia of the...

Sedláková, Barbora ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Břečková, Gabriela (referee)
Title: Spontaneous activity of lower limbs in a vertical position in the aquatic environment Objectives: The aim of this study was to determinate whether spontaneous activity of lower limb in the aquatic environment enable to determinate preferred swimming stroke of an individual. Also, whether identified asymmetry of the lower limbs during treading water depend on passive range of hip joints. Methods: Spontaneous activity of lower limbs in a vertical position with a hands and head out of water was recorded on video. Passive intra/extrarotion, flexion, extension, abduction in hip joints were measured using mechanical two-arm goniometer. Qualitative analysis of spontaneous activity of lower limbs recorded on video was conducted using Kinovea 0.8.15. Results: According to the results of our work, it can not be said that the preferred swimming stroke can be determined on the basis of the spontaneous activity of the lower limbs in a vertical position in the aquatic environment. We can assume that the individual chose the pattern of treading water according to an energetically economical way while minimizing resistive forces and not in pursuance of preferred swimming stroke. Bilateral asymmetry (left-right) during the water treading movement was detected in the whole group. The most significant...
