The use of Electrotherapy to Influence Spasticity in Patients after Stroke
Pokorná, Anna ; Jeníček, Jakub (advisor) ; Tichá, Monika (referee)
Title: The use of electrotherapy to influence spasticity in patients after stroke Abstract: The theme of bachelor thesis is the use of electrotherapy to influence spasticity in pacients after stroke. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part there is described the issue concerning stroke, regulation of muscles tention and spasticity. Mostly there is stated performed research of accessible literary sources on the theme electrotherapy with antispastic effect. These findings come out mostly of the results of foreign studies, which are being mutually compared. Pratical part contains of two case reports of patients, who suffered a stroke and spasticity m. triceps surae has occured in them. On the concrete muscle the stimulation according to Janstch is being applicated for five days. The impact on spasticity is being observed, the spasticity had been examined by using the scale Five-step clinical assessment according to Gracies before the first therapy and instantly after the fifth therapy. Further the changes of parameters, which are desribed by the stated scale, had been observed. The aim of the thesis is to summarize and enrich the issue at the same time and on the basis of the results of own therapy to evaluate the impact of electrotherapy. Key words: stroke,...

The effectiveness of high intensity laser therapy for plantar fasciitis.
Pitnerová, Lenka ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Author: Bc. Lenka Pitnerová Title: The effectiveness of high intensity laser therapy for plantar fasciitis Objectives: The aim of this work is to assess the effect of high and low intensity laser therapy for plantar fasciitis compared with therapeutic ultrasound. Methods: The study included 50 patients with diagnose of heel spur syndrome. Patients were divided into three groups according to undergoing therapy. Group A (n = 20) received 10 applications of high intensity laser therapy, group B (n = 20) obtained 10 applications of low intensity laser therapy and group C (n=10) received 10 applications of therapeutic ultrasound. Intensity and character of the pain were assessed before and after therapeutic intervention using non- standardized questionnaire and numeric pain rating scale. For the assessment and description of the results were used standard statistical indicators and methods. Results: High intensity laser therapy had according to the obtained results positive effect on the clinical course of the disease and was markedly more effective than therapeutic ultrasound in treatment of plantar fasciitis. Almost all parameters reached the highest percentage improvement in the group treated with high intensity laser. The results are influenced by a smaller sample of patients and by inhomogeneity of...

Distant effects of muscle electrostimulation
Koláček, Michal ; Slabý, Kryštof (advisor) ; Demeková, Júlia (referee)
This work is trying to identify possible non-stimulatory effects and distant effects of muscle electrostimulation musculus quadriceps femoris based on a literature search. Furthermore evaluates the influence of High Tone Electrical Stimulation (HTEMS) muscles of lower limbs on the activity of the autonomic nervous system, expressed by heart rate variability, a spectral power in the individual frequency bands. Randomized crossover study involved 20 healthy subjects (12 men and 8 women), average age 24.6 ± 5.6 years. Heart rate variability was evaluated before application of HTEMS and immediately after. Measurements were performed with electrostimulator HiToP 191. The results did not show statistically significant increase in spectral power in the individual frequency bands. The study also deals with the reproducibility of measurements of sensitive and motor threshold for electrostimulation HTEMS method, which was confirmed. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Electrotherapy
Vodochodská, Andrea ; Harabiš, Vratislav (referee) ; Chmelař, Milan (advisor)
This thesis deals with types of physiatric treatment as phototherapy, thermotherapy, cryotherapy and mechanotherapy. But primarily with electrotherapy, which is divided into two groups, distant and contact. In this thesis modes and principles of using electrotherapy are described. The main attention is paid to analysis of individual electrical currents which are mainly used in the process of electrotherapy. The final part of the thesis deals with design of battery powered generator for electrotherapy.

Electrotherapy
Fernandová, Dominika ; Harabiš, Vratislav (referee) ; Chmelař, Milan (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the methods of physiatric treatment and realization of a generator and a device for electrotherapy. In the first part, electrotherapy is analyzed in detail and other methods are mentioned only briefly (they are listed here for completeness). When analyzing electrotherapy main attention was paid to electrical currents that are mainly used. Diagnoses for which electrotherapy is suitable are also mentioned. The second part of this thesis deals with designing a generator in LabView software and designing and implementing a device for electrotherapy.

Micro-pulse stimulation and its use in physiatric treatment
Nedvědová, Marie ; Kolouch, Jaromír (referee) ; Chmelař, Milan (advisor)
General part of the Bachelor´s thesis follows the electrical current with all its effects on the human organism. There is confronted both positive therapeutic usage in physiatric treatment and negative influence on man because of its electrical dangerous activity. The following research brings the newest information about pulsed current use in electrotherapy. The research results are summarized in an overview of the selected electrotherapeutic methods. This is also a point of departure for practical part of the project – micro-pulse stimulator design. The early conception of the stimulator´s circuit function was based on the simulation with the usage of PSpice. The theoretical device draft peaks with the functional sample realization and there were taken some records of the pulse time course by the oscilloscope measurements with this sample.

Apparatus for electrotherapy
Kopečný, Josef ; Kolář, Radim (referee) ; Chmelař, Milan (advisor)
In the beginning of this thesis are described principles of physiatric treatment. The electrotherapy is analysed in more detail. Firstly with respect to the conduction of current into the skin, secondly with respect to using of various kinds of currents, which are normally used for this electrotherapy. Also electrodes and conversion of current between electrode and the skin are mentioned. The last part of this thesis focused on the proposition and realization of simple apparatus for this electrotherapy.

Design and implementation of revisions devices for the treatment of hyperhidrosis
Vejnar, Pavel ; Bradáč, Zdeněk (referee) ; Šedivá, Soňa (advisor)
Thesis deals with the design and realization of revisions devices for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. One of the methods how to treat hyperhidrosis is iontophoresis. This prevents sweating using an electric current. The work is divided on the parts. First part is a theory, which deals with basic principles of treatment. Next part is the analysis of original solutions and hardware design of new solutions. In conclusion I revive device by microcontroller programming and checking its functionality. I was able to create a prototype board, programmable firmware and successfully tested a prototype.
