The acute effect of percusive therapy on postural stability and muscle activation in people with chronic ankle instability and controls
Michal, Lukáš ; Hank, Mikuláš (advisor) ; Šorfová, Monika (referee)
F2 = 0.15; with a significance level of α = 0.05 and a test power of β = - - (p=0.014) CAI NO PRE (CNP) and HEALTHY YES POST (HYPO) and between the CAI NO POST (CNPO) vs. HYPO (p=0.05). The only statistical difference (p=0.045) within CAI group was found in CNP vs. CAI YES POST (CYPO). Since there was no significant difference in the pre-tests between any of the groups (CNP and CYP), we may confirm the hypothesis of the effect of PT in postural stability (OE) test. In contrast, in the CE test, this change was observed between groups CNPO and CYPO (p=0.05). Since there was no pre-test difference between the CAI groups in CE parameter, we may also confirm the effect of PT in CE test, even though the intragroup outcomes between pre and post-test weren't sensitive enough to find significant (p<0.05) improvement. Unilateral postural stability surveyed in relation to PT showed increased bilateral asymmetry between DOM and NON in Flamingo test (expressed as %). Especially HYPO group revealed risen asymmetry after PT when compared to CNPO (p=0.007), CNP (p=0.015) and CYPO (p=0.05). Key finding was measured significant difference in intragroup parameter between HYP vs. HYPO (p=0.014), which confirmed increased bilateral asymmetry in unilateral postural stability HEALTHY subjects before and after use of PT, but not...

Švejdová, Jana ; Stupková, Michaela (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Helena (referee)
Title: Immediate effect of foam rolling of selected muscle groups on postural stability Aims: The aim of this diploma thesis is to demonstrate the effect of single intervention of foam rolling of selected muscle groups on postural stability in young healthy sports population measured by the Neurocom SMART Equitest device. Methods: The project is an experimental pilot study with a total of 34 probands who were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. At the beginning, they all went through the postural stability measurement using the NeuroCom Smart EquiTest System. Three test protocols were selected for the measurement: Motor Control Test (MCT), Limits of Stability (LOS) and Adaptation test (ADT). The experimental group underwent foam rolling of calves, ischiocrural muscles, iliotibial tract, quadriceps, gluteus medius and minimus and erectors of the thoracic spine after the first measurement. Each muscle group was rolled for 1 minute. Immediately after the intervention, postural stability was measured again using the same protocols. The control group took the second measurement 10 minutes after the first measurement. The measured data was processed using Neurocom Balance Manager Software. The measurement results were averaged within each group and processed using MS Excel and then the...

Analysis and possibilities of therapy of postural functions in long jumpers
NIKODEMOVÁ, Nela
This bachelor thesis deals with the analysis and possibilities of therapy of postural functions in long jumpers. The aim of this thesis is to describe the issues of movement stereotypes and postural system occurring among long jumpers. Another aim is to design and implement compensatory exercises with the aim of therapy of these disorders. In the theoretical part, the concept of postural stability and related concepts are explained. Then, the postural system and the anatomy of the lower limb are briefly described. Last but not least, the long jump, its history, technique and training of this discipline are described. Furthermore, the most common disorders of the postural system and the physiotherapeutic procedures used in the therapy are mentioned. In the practical part, the methods used to collect data are described. Furthermore, the practical part consists of case studies of three probands aged 14 and 15 years who are actively involved in long jump. Each proband underwent an initial kinesiological examination, according to which a short-term rehabilitation plan was designed. The research was conducted over a 10week period in which each proband completed 10 therapy sessions. At the end of the research, probands underwent an exit kinesiology examination. I compared the results from both examinations with each other. The data collected was then used to create a manual summarizing recommended compensatory exercises for long jumpers. The examinations revealed certain areas where probands consistently had similar pathologies. These areas included the shoulder girdle, pelvis, thoracic and lumbar spine, anterior and posterior thigh muscles, knees and ankle joints. Insufficiency of the deep stabilization system also proved to be a very common pathology. The probands also showed some differences between the rebounding and non-rebounding lower limb. This work can serve both physiotherapists in their work with these athletes or coaches and athletes themselves as educational material.

Využití postarání terapie na zlepšení držení těla a stability v golfovém švihu u mladých golfistů
LUŇÁČKOVÁ, Johana
This thesis deals with posture and stability in young golfers and how these aspects can be influenced. The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to create a kinesiotherapy unit that incorporates elements from postural therapy to influence posture and stability in young golfers as well as the elements influencing postural function, which was another aim of the thesis. Another aim was to evaluate the effects of the therapy and compare the results based on the entry and exit kinesiological examination. In the theoretical part, the postural system, postural function, movement control and the information about golf are described as well as the physiotherapy methods that were used in this thesis. The practical part describes the research methods and case studies of four probands from the Golf Club Týn nad Vltavou. The work includes comparative photographs taken before and after the therapy and examples of exercises used in the kinesiotherapy unit. Initial results of the study show the poor posture, lack of stability and weakened postural functions are present in these young golfers. When comparing the entry and exit examination data, all probands showed improvement in all studied aspects after completing the 8-week exercise program therefore these results could be influenced by the suggested therapy. In the future, this work could be used by coaches as an inspiration for creating the training plan.

Vestibular Function in Cochlear Implant Patients
Matějková, Michaela ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Koutná, Sára (referee)
Hearing loss is the most common sensory impairment. More than 5 % of the world's population suffers from disabling hearing loss, which affects approximately one third of people over the age of 65. In those cases where hearing aids are not a sufficient solution to these difficulties, cochlear implantation is the standard treatment. It replaces, at least in part, the function of the hair cells that are no longer able to stimulate the primary auditory neurons. However, there are concerns about the potential risk of impaired vestibular function and the development or worsening of non-vestibular problems such as tinnitus, vertigo and orofacial disorders. Aims: To provide a theoretical summary of fundamental information on the vestibular system and cochlear implantation and to assess vestibular and non-vestibular function after cochlear implantation and the impact of any abnormalities on patients' quality of life. Methods: All of the participants underwent subjective visual vertical examination, platform posturography and completed five questionnaires - Dizziness Handicap Inventory, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, Facial Disability Index, Beck's Anxiety Inventory and Beck's Depression Inventory. Overall and partial results from platform posturography examinations were compared with a control group of...

Ankle Stabilization of Hurdle Athletes as a Prevention of Injury
FAROVÁ, Michaela
This thesis is about Ankle Stabilization of Hurdle Athletes as a Prevention of Injury which are typical for this discipline. The aim of this work is to create an exercise and physiotherapy protocol focused on stabilization of ankle joint in purppose to prevent the most common injuries of hurdle athletes and comparing the stability of rebound and non-rebound lower limb. In the first part of the thesis, I present theoretical knowledge that provides the basis for the research part. This part summarizes general information about anatomy, postural stability, terminology associated with the posture and stabilization, the function of the ankle joint and the foot, the most common injuries of the ankle joint caused by hurdling, and the possibilities of physiotherapy interventons, which could be used to decrease a risk of causes of the mentioned injuries. In the practical part, research reports of 5 probands who have been involved in athletics for several years and in recent years they have specialized in short tracks - 60 m, 100 m and 110 m hurdles. Posturographic messuarement objectively assessing postural stability - Modified CTSIB, Stability Evaluation Test and Weight Bearing Test. One of the aims of this research is to set and implement an intervention to influence stability of the joing by influencing proprioception, muscle strength, mobilization, soft tissue treatment and othrers. and overall body posture. The results are shown as positive, when there was a reduction in the initial values Sway Velocity (deg/sec). Proband has in average lower values of Sway Velocity in five tests from seven. The same results were shown in average in one test from seven and worst results had proband in average in two from seven tests. Lower values of SV indicate an improvement in postural stability. Unfortunately the number of proband in this research was changed and the number for average values are counted with number of three probands.
