Langová, Karolína ; Stupková, Michaela (advisor) ; Nováková, Tereza (referee)
Author of the thesis: Bc. Karolína Langová Title of the thesis: Evaluation of the stabilizing ability of pole dancers Objectives: The main aim of the study is to assess the static and dynamic postural stability in women regualrly practising pole dance, and to compare their stabilizing ability to women from healthy general population, who do not practise sport regularly. The next aim is to focus on the evaluation of the effect of pole dance exercise on the activity of vestibular system in static and dynamic postural stability, and compare the results to the same control group of women. Methods: The study is designed as observational, comparative and cross-sectional. 34 women within the range of 18-30 years of age took part in the study and were divided into 2 groups. Experimental group (n2=17) consisted of pole dancers, whereas women without regular physical activity (n2=17) represented control group. The measurement of static and dynamic postural stability was performed using dynamic computer posturograph NeuroCom SMART Equi Test (MCT), Rhytmic Weight Shift (RWS) and Head Shake - Sensory Organization Test (HS-SOT). Collected results of both groups were analyzed using Microsof Excel 2016 and compared. Results: In SOT protocol, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups,...

Blažek, Michal ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Šorfová, Monika (referee)
Title: Evaluation of functional biomechanical locomotion parameters depending on the performed amputation in LL Objectives: The goals of this thesis are the following: to compare asymmetry in step cycle time, pelvis, hip and knee movement and lower limb loading while walking, also to compare sagittal movement of pelvis while walking, postural stability in stance and subjective scoring of the functional skills and the quality of life in healthy controls, transfemoral and knee disarticulation amputees. Methods: 6 healthy controls and 3 amputees in each amputation group were included in this experiment. Qualisys motion capture system and Kistler force plates to collect objective data and specific sections of Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire for subjective scoring were used. The participants were observed while level walking forward and backward with self-selected speed and in a quiet stance with eyes either open or closed with narrow support base. Statistical analysis was carried out in Microsoft Excel. Results: In terms of asymmetry assessment of the selected ambulation parameters there were identified more symmetrical values in the knee disarticulation group in 63 % of 33 monitored parameters. However, statistical significance was exceeded only in a single parameter. Concerning pelvic movement in...

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.

Hip joint stability and injury prevention in sport
ČERVENÝ, Daniel
The aim of this thesis is to describe, how does the strengthening of stabilization hip muscles affect whole postural stability and at the same time how does it affect standing on one leg for athletes in different sport. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes information about anatomy a kinesiology of hip joint. Includes important angles measured in the age of hip joint development. Besides is described postural stability, and stability function in the various levels on human body with all the participated muscles while hip joint stabilization. In the practical part is research of three probands doing cross country skiing, athletics, and triathlon. Measurement was consisting of posturography, kinesiological analysis and by performing special tests focused on hip joint. All the patients received paper of exercises to do at home with addiction of individual exercises for patient's pathology. At the end of the therapy was compared all the information from the first and second measurement and done conclusion. The resulting effect was positive, because in most patients was improvement of secondary performing test measuring stability, placement of COG and lateral stability of hip joint. Another result was subjective evaluation in the way of dialogue. Patients evaluated the therapy as a positive for them and wanted to continue in cooperation.

Possibilities of influencing postural stability in sports training of judokas
VACOVÁ, Anna
This thesis deals with postural stability in the sports training of judokas and the possible ways by which it can be influenced. The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to include a kinesiotherapy intervention using elements for improving postural stability in the sports training of judokas and to evaluate its effectiveness, while another aim was to measure postural stability of standing on one lower limb. The theoretical part summarizes information about the postural system, postural functions, central motor control, judo and describes the methods that inspired the exercise unit. In the practical part, there are case studies of four probands from the sports club TJ Sokol Centropen Dačice. The key part was to perform an examination on the NeuroCom posturography device. Part of the thesis is a sample of selected elements that were used during the research. The results of the examination show that these young judokas have faulty posture and muscle shortening, as well as poor postural functions and insufficient stabilizing function of the lower limb. When comparing the entrance and exit examination, which followed the end of the three-month research, there was no significant difference. However, there was an improvement in certain aspects, which may be related to the inclusion of the given elements. This work could serve as educational material for judo coaches and an inspiration for creating a training plan.

The influence of postural stability changes on respiratory muscle strength in an adult with a functional disorder of the musculosceletal system
ŠIGUTOVÁ, Anežka
The bachelor thesis deals with the study of the effect of changes in postural stability on the strength of respiratory muscles in adults with a functional disorder of the musculoskeletal system. This work consists of two parts. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis is first devoted to breathing, its control, stereotype of breathing and respiratory muscles. A large part is also devoted to the diaphragm, which has not only respiratory but also postural function and its relationship to posture. Subsequently, it deals with the definition and ontogenesis of posture and its significance, postural stability, stabilization and reactivity. Furthermore, the deep stabilization system and its components are described. The last part deals with the issue of functional disorders and the most commonly used methods of therapy of functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The practical part of the work is a form of qualitative research and consists of three case studies. All subjects are women aged 21 to 23 years. I was the first to perform an initial examination, where I mainly examined the quality of postural stability and measured the strength of the respiratory muscles using a triflow spirometer. A total of six meetings were held with each patient. At the last, an exit examination was performed. Within the whole group, there was no significant change in the strength of the respiratory muscles when the postural stability changed, but there was a change in the examination of the respiratory stereotype and the diaphragmatic test. This bachelor thesis can serve as an inspiration for physiotherapeutic procedures in the treatment of functional disorders and the possibilities of influencing postural stability and respiratory muscles.

The possibilities of physiotherapy which improve the postural stability of seniors
NOVOTNÝ, Petr
These days, due to low natality and increasing life expectancy, we face the fact that the Czech population is getting older and older. Growing old is connected with risks of health difficulties, that have a huge impact on the quality of our lives. One of the most important health problems that elderly people have is instability causing e.g. falls. They are quite common with increasing age and they can cause lots of serious consequences. Seniors with provable symptoms should not underestimate their state of health and they should rather look up specialized care. One of the options for the prevention of impaired postural stability and subsequent falls may be physiotherapy that focuses on this issue. This diploma thesis aims to describe the possibilities of how physiotherapy can help improve postural stability with elderly people. The thesis also suggests exercises that seniors could do on their own and thanks to them elderly people could improve their postural stability. My diploma thesis consists of the theoretical and practical part. The first one contains gained pieces of knowledge of later life, growing old, postural stability, and application of physiotherapy. In the practical part, I mention six case interpretations with elderly people between 76 and 78 years. In these interpretations, which consisted of entrance and final tests, we can see the differences that appeared after stabilographic training and after following the method that I had created. I believe that this thesis could help spread awareness of impaired postural stability with elderly people. It could probably be used for the training of seniors and it could become a therapeutic methodology not just for nurses in the retirement homes but probably for the general public as well.

Changes in selected postural stability tests in hemiparetic patients after botulinum toxin application
ZEMANOVÁ, Lucie
The subject of this bachelor thesis is to compare changes in selected clinical and posturographic tests of postural stability, before and after application of botulinum toxin A to selected lower limb muscles in patients with spastic hemiparesis. The theoretical part deals with the introduction of general information related to posture, such as clinical tests of postural stability, their significance and use, as well as the issue of falls. The next part concerns spastic paresis, its origin, causes, consequences and also clinical scales that evaluate spasticity. The last theoretical part summarize the treatment options of spastic paresis. The practical part describes in detail the kinesiological analyzes of patients and the results of clinical and posturographic tests. Functional Reach Test, Timed Up and Go and Mini BESTest were selected from the clinical trials. Within the posturography, the Weight Bearing Squat test, Modified CTSIB and Limits of Stability were selected. The overall results of this research were not entirely clear, as the individual tests focus on different aspects of postural stability. Some tests were better after botulinum toxin application and some of them before botulinum toxin application. However, impairment of postural stability was in relation to the hemiparetic half of the body. Research has also shown that vision is a key aspect of postural stability in hemiparetic patients. This research could serve as inspiration in the treatment of postural stability not only in hemiparetics, but also in stability disorders in general.
