Supportive therapy with dog´s assistance as a part of the coherent physiotherapy for the physically disabled person
BAUEROVÁ, Monika
ABSTRACT The use of animals as man{\crq}s helpers or companions is as old as domestication itself. Contact with an animal, if accepted positively by the person, relaxes, slows down heartbeat and lowers blood pressure, releases tension, intermediates communication, compensates for missing abilities of people. Canistherapy as a supporting rehabilitation method contributes to the relaxation of muscle spasms, development of fine and gross motor skills, stimulates verbal and non-verbal communication, orientation in space, enhances motivation to participate in one{\crq}s own healing process, and improves the client{\crq}s interaction with other clients and nurses. The theoretical part of the Bachelor thesis is dedicated to the definition of canistherapy within comprehensive rehabilitation of people with a motor apparatus disability. Particular attention is paid to the issue of individuals affected by cerebral palsy and achondroplasia. The goal of the Bachelor thesis is to determine the influence of a dog-assisted therapy on people with a motor apparatus disability. A partial goal is to define the standing and position of a dog-assisted therapy within integral comprehensive rehabilitation of the client. The research is mainly focused on the use of the Animal Assisted Therapy method. Qualitative techniques of data collection were used within the research part of the Bachelor thesis. The following data collection techniques were used: anamnesis, observation (kinesiology examination), secondary data analysis and photo documentation. Results of the action of AAT method canistherapy prove in different areas a positive influence on both monitored clients permanently living in a diagnostic social care institution. The research was carried out in a client suffering from a quadriplegia form of cerebral palsy and in a client with achondroplasia. Casuistries of both mentioned clients describe the way of dog assisted therapy conduct, progress and results.

Usage of special physiotherapeutic methodics in frozen shoulder syndrom
KUBALÁKOVÁ, Tereza
A topic of the bachelor thesis is the frozen shoulder syndrome. It is a common disability of the shoulder joint, but it belongs to one of the least explained illnesses of the shoulder. It has quite a typical course and objective findings, characteristic is particularly a limitation of an active and passive movement. This syndrome is a very painful, long-lasting condition. Patients usually recover, but they may never regain their full motility. A goal of the first part of the thesis was to work up theoretical supporting documents on this issue. A goal of the research part was a choice of clients with the frozen shoulder syndrome and a practical verification of various examination and therapeutic methods. I used a method of a qualitative research for the practical part of the bachelor thesis, a case study. The bachelor thesis can be used in a clinical practice of physiotherapists.

Physio-therapeutical methods after injuries of the flexor and extensor tendons of a hand
BENDOVÁ, Markéta
This diploma thesis entitled ``Physio-therapeutical methods after injuries of the flexor and extensor tendons of a hand{\crqq} describes the anatomy of forearm and hand muscles, as well as fascia and tendon loops. The main objective is to summarize a basic knowledge on injuries of the hand{\crq}s flexor and extensor tendons and physiotherapy of this problem. The work also includes the application of this knowledge into practice by elaboration of case reports of patients with injuries of the hand{\crq}s flexor and extensor tendons, which, among others, reveal a necessity of individual approach of the therapist and patient{\crq}s cooperation. The other objective of this study is to compare the theoretical approach to the injuries of the hand{\crq}s flexor and extensor tendons from the viewpoint of the physiotherapist in the Czech Republic and in Finland. To achieve this aim, I used the method of qualitative research; the data were collected in interviews with selected physiotherapists in the Czech Republic and in Finland. The comparison showed that the methodology used in Finland is rather similar to that used in the Czech Republic. In both countries, the process of therapy is tailored to patients individually and it respects the physician's recommendation.

Specific methods of physiotherapy treatment as part of a woman in the puerperium
AL-AHMADOVÁ, Laila
This bachelor's thesis focuses on physiotherapeutic techniques as part of care for women during the postpartum period. Most women actively attend prenatal classes, where they are instructed on how to exercise and perform routine activities to provide relieve to their musculoskeletal system. Unfortunately, the majority of women are not informed of how to continue after having given birth, when they experience considerable weight loss and the burden on the skeleton changes completely within several hours. The objective of my thesis is to provide an overview of the possibilities and utilization of special physiotherapy techniques to accelerate the normalization and stabilization of women's musculoskeletal system. The first part of the thesis focuses on the physiological postpartum period, anatomy and postpartum complications. In addition, I provide an overview of techniques that can be used in clinical practice. The second objective was to discover whether individual exercise during the postpartum period makes it easier for women to cope with postpartum changes, thereby having a positive influence on the course of the postpartum period. This was confirmed by the results of this work. Qualitative research techniques were used, including interviewing and observation techniques. The study group comprised 3 patients aged from 25 to 34 years old. The women were followed up during the entire postpartum period, which was free of any complications. The patients improved their breathing stereotypes and pelvic floor functions. All three women reported gradual improvement of their subjective feelings during treatment. Unfortunately, I learned that many women in the postpartum ward refuse/do not do any exercise. The rooming-in system, although the most beneficial for both mother and child, makes the physiotherapist´s work very difficult. It is very hard to coordinate the mother´s free time and the physiotherapist's time reserved for the postpartum ward. In my opinion, the best solution would be to begin education mothers during pregnancy, preferably during the prenatal courses. The expected practical use of this thesis is for the needs of physiotherapists as well as other healthcare professionals and women in the postpartum period.

Physiotherapy at treatment of chronic pain
VAŇKOVÁ, Denisa
The title of my bachelor thesis is "Physiotherapy at Chronic Pain Treatment". In my thesis I have focused on chronic back pain. Ambulatory practice indicates the above by general diagnosis as vertebral algic syndrome (VAS). First part of my work consists of processing of theoretical basis related to the problem. Main sections focus on pain, function of the spine, vertebral algic syndrome, spine examination methods, physiotherapeutic procedures and prevention of VAS origination. The research part of my work includes two case reports with diagnosis of chronic vertebral algic syndrome. The objective of the theoretical part of the work was to focus from the physiotherapist's view on most common causes of chronic pain, namely vertebral etiology. This part is also aimed at analyzing basic causes of VAS, processing of current information for diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive procedures related to VAS. The objective of practical part of the work was to find out, based on the case reports, whether the physiotherapy relieves the patient from pain. In the practical part of the thesis I applied the method of qualitative research, case study. The research was carried out in Malvazinky Rehabilitation Center and in Medicentrum Chodov. The tested set consisted of two probands diganosed with chronic vertebral algic syndrome. The diagnoses were given by the doctor treating the probands. Results have been prepared in the form of case reports. Both monitored patients showed a relief from pain and rehabilitation objectives set in advance have been met. Providing that the patients shall practise self-therapy and pay attention to measures preventing origination of problems. The thesis may serve as a theoretical document for medical science students. For physiotherapists it may serve as an inspiration when preparing rehabilitation plans for chronic back pain treatment.

PHYSIOTHERAPY AS A PART OF FERTILITY DISORDERS TREATMENT
ROHLÍČKOVÁ, Eva
Infertility is defined as inability of a couple to conceive a child within one year of having unprotected sex at least two times a week. In 1970s the World Health Organization classified the condition as a disease. The data indicate that approximately 20-25% of couples in the Czech Republic are involuntarily childless. There are many methods used to address this condition. One of them is a physiotherapeutic approach. The purpose of this thesis was to find new (modern) views of the issue or potentially also some of its causes, and to point to the potential use of modern physiotherapeutic approaches to infertility treatment. To achieve the objective I have focused in the theoretical section on various causes of fertility disorders and their diagnostics. Further, I have tried to map some methods used in infertility treatment. I have strongly emphasized the physiotherapeutic approach, particularly methods developed by Ludmila Mojžíšová. In the practical section I have used a qualitative research method {--} the case study. The research was conducted in the Rehabilitation and Regeneration Center in Borovany near České Budějovice. Women selected for the survey were diagnosed with infertility and palpation sensitivity of pelvic bottom muscles. Three women treated with a rehabilitation method for some types of functional female infertility. The objective of the research was to map changes in the condition of muscular dysbalances in their pelvis bottom areas. In the surveyed patients improvements were found in terms of posture, breathing stereotype and pelvic bottom function. During the treatment all the three women reported gradual improvement of subjective feelings. One of the women got pregnant during the treatment. The main contribution of this thesis is the mapping of the infertility phenomenon. From the viewpoint of physiotherapy this work may be used in clinical practice by physiotherapists involved in this area.

Physiotherapy after the forearm and the hand injuries
POLÁKOVÁ, Jana
My bachelor thesis dealing with the topic Physiotherapy after forearm and hand injuries, describes not only the complete anatomy of the forearm and hand, characteristics of the particular injuries and the complications thereof, but also examination methods and possibilities of rehabilitation, by means of which the patients frequently regain former functions of the extremity affected. The thesis aims to find out whether patients are able to return to their original occupations as well as their original hobbies. The research part, in which the casuistic method and that of a free conversation with patients in the course of their attendance to rehabilitation procedures were used, contains descriptions of diagnoses and examinations of two patients with a different therapy success. The conclusion of the thesis resulted in the fact that the convalescence success of patients and their return to work largely depends on how complicated their diagnoses are and on the character of their work. In my opinion patients should be provided with a complex care, which includes timely medical help and subsequent physiotherapy and ergotherapy. A very substantial problem that is omitted is the patients{\crq} mental state, and for that reason the convalescence process should involve possible visits to a psychologist. Another essential thing is to inform the patient systematically on his/her state and future, and his/her motivation for his/her effort of improvement.

The Training System of Pilates and Effects on Movement Body System
GLIEROVÁ, Jaroslava
At present there are a fast growing number of physiotherapists and their clients who discover Pilates, a form of body and mind exercises that have a positive influence on the rehabilitation of injuries (Wilson, 2005). The principles of the Pilates method are identical with some physiotherapeutic concepts and methods (e.g. Mensendieck, Feldenkrais). The application of the Pilates exercises is spread especially among physiotherapists in the USA. In this country it is practiced a part of fitness exercises. This thesis deals with connecting the principles of the Pilates method with physiotherapeutic methods, their application in practice and confirming their positive effect on the change in body posture. The theoretical part deals with the analysis of the information as yet achieved on the Pilates exercises. It defines the Pilates exercises, sums up information from the history of the exercises, mentions the basic principles and their principal connection. The principles of breathing and describes the ``centre{\crqq} by the effort for explaining the subject matter from the professional point of view, and finally, it deals with the subject matter of the incorrect body posture. The practical part presents a set of exercises applicable in the prevention of the incorrect body posture, as a reason of vertebrogenic troubles. The quantitative strategy was used for the reasons of the empirical part. To confirm the effect of the Pilates exercises on the change in body posture, the development of the thoracic vertebral column in flexion and extension, I used Otto{\crq}s test. The results were statistically evaluated by the pair t-test. RESULTS: the positive influence of Pilates on body posture was confirmed.
