The effect of Spinalstabilization method according to the 1A course for changing defective deportment of 10 to 15 years old children
JÍRŮ, Markéta
This bachelor thesis is focused on poor body posture among children between the age of 10 and 15 and possibility to influence this instability with the help of Spiral stabilization method according to 1A course. This is a stabilization exercises of muscle spiral chains with elastic cords. Poor posture problems arise on the basis of imbalance between muscle groups. In case of children today, this is caused mostly due to lack of physical activities and too much time spent by sitting at televisions or computers. It is the lack of physical activity which leads to atrophy of muscles which are important for correct body posture. Another risk factors which cause poor body posture are wrong stereotyp movements, overloading muscle groups, long standing, incorrect sitting, taking an unnatural position for too long, wrong furniture (wrong chair, mattress etc.), unilaterally focused movement activities etc. Even wrong regimen can influence the emergence of poor posture. For example lack of sleep or bad eating habbits which can cause obesity. Spine, shoulder girdle and lower limps anatomy and kinesiology is desctribed in theoretical part. In the next part, muscle imbalance concept, poor body posture and posture term in general are explained. The third chapter is specifically focused on Spiral stabilization method, on its general regularities, principles, main spiral strings etc. The last section of theoretical part belongs to other methods which can be also applied during poor body posture treatment. The first goal of the work was to map physiotherapy options among children between the age of 10 and 15. The second goal was to find out if and what influence the regular exercising using Spiral stabilization method according to 1A course would have among these children. For the practical part, quality research method was chosen. Data were collected along with anamnesis from both parents and children by interview. Furthermore, initial and exit kinesiological examinations were carried out. Respondent´s parents were also asked for filling in informed consent. The bachelor thesis can be used for both professional and general public as informative and educational material about poor body posture and Spiral stabilization of the spine and its practical use.

Influence of compensatory exercises in hockey players focused on pain conditions of back
SKRYJA, Libor
The theory is aimed to familiarize the given issues. This part describes the basic anatomy of the spine, including the biomechanics of walking. Great attention is given to the sensorimotor stimulation and the options of its usage. The practical part was processed by means of qualitative research. The research part includes 5 respondents who play ice hockey and who suffer from back pain. In the practical part the anamnesis was removed and a functional diagnosis was executed. Standing was examined by complexion and a dynamic test in the standing position was carried to verify the possible infringement of the musculoskeletal system. Another two parts were testing of the shortened and weakened muscle groups and the stereotype of activation of specific muscle groups. The probands were educated on the issue by means of pictures and text; others additionally underwent palpation examination including the application of soft techniques and the use of PIR. The therapy included five visits over some time. Some probands were educated on the possible activation of HSS in the future therapies; a practical demonstration including exercises was demonstrated to some of the probands. At the end of each visit (15) a visual analogue scale (VAS) was collected to evaluate the pain perception. Some probands were examined, rehabilitated and assessed in groups, some as individuals. In terms of overall assessment of the possible improvements in removing the issue an output test of functional diagnosis was carried out and VAS was collected after the final fifth visit. The data were obtained by collecting VAS during the individual visits and through these data an overall pain perception in the context of possible removal was evaluated. The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to survey and process how back pain can be affected. The collected data shows that all the individuals who underwent group or individual therapy achieved a positive result. Back pain is typical when having poor posture and the increasing tension in the muscle tissue and the formation of so-called trigger points (TrPs) occurs.

Possibilities of physiotherapy for children with faulty posture in middle school age
MAREŠOVÁ, Barbora
This thesis focuses on incorrect body posture of older school-age children and possibilities of physiotherapeutic methods that can be used for this particular age stage. Incorrect body posture is often included among social diseases that are to a great degree caused by lack of exercise and one-sided life style. Generally it is about remaining in static positions and decrease of physically demanding work. The aim of my work is to outline the problem involving children of this particular age range and to evaluate the influence of physiotherapeutic treatment with older school-age patients having incorrect body posture. Theoretical part of the thesis describes correct body postures, muscular chains involved in torso stabilisation, anatomy of deep stabilisation system and incorrect body posture itself. The next chapter deals with older school-age stage from somatic and motor development viewpoint. The last chapter describes physiotherapeutic methods that can be used to treat this health issue. For the empirical part of the paper I chose qualitative research method with two girls of older school-age. Each of them was instructed with a series of set exercises they were to do at home during the whole therapy time approx. 10 weeks. In addition to that, they came in for 9 sessions, during which we focused on their incorrect body posture and other acute problems they had. Short-term and long-term physiotherapeutic plan was proposed based on the anamnesis and kinesiological analysis gained at the beginning and at the end of the therapy. Examples of several exercises aimed at chosen topic are enclosed. This thesis can serve both the professional and the lay public in order to inform them about possibilities of different physiotherapeutic methods that can be used when treating incorrect body posture.

Physiotherapeutic possibilities in preschoolers with faulty posture
HRDINA, Jakub
The thesis deals with problem of faulty posture at preschool children and influence of this process through the physiotherapy. The theoretical part describes faulty posture including trends in the incidence, the position of individual human body segments, deep stabilization system and ontogenetic development from birth until the end of preschool period. Part of theoretical part also includes a list of appropriate physiotherapy techniques. Faulty posture is caused by muscular imbalance in the form of weakening of the muscles on one side and increased muscle tension on the other side. There are not anatomical abnormalities at faulty posture in contrast to structural failures so it is possible to correct this postural defect. Examination of postural functions in the preschool period is complicated because some developmental abnormalities are physiological in childhood. Therefore, it is difficult to determine which abnormality is appropriate to correct. Preschool period starts at the age of three and ends at the age of six or seven. An imitation of close persons is typical in this period. A lot of children stay in kindergartens which can be source of various risks. In case of insufficient development of movement skills and coordination of movement, one-sided stress or lack of spontaneous physical aktivity these risks may be reflected in the form of faulty posture. Qualitative research methods have been selected for the practical part. Data was obtained through two case studies that include medical history, along with kinesiology analysis. The research group consisted of preschool children diagnosed with faulty posture. The probands were selected from the Dětské rehabilitační centrum Lentilka in Pardubice. Based on the results of the examination, there were prepared individual exercises which were used at home. It was also used of sensomotoric stimulation, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and exercise TherapiMaster. Appropriate motivation is an important aspect of physiotherapy at children. Because the game in preschool period has justified significance during physiotherapy as well, most of actions were adapted.

Physiotherapy of adolescents in specific sport exercise - kickboxing
MAŠKOVÁ, Adéla
It is a trend nowadays to have rather inauspicious sedentary lifestyle. One of the main factors which influence lifestyle of children and juvenile is family. If the parents are inactive then they frequently but unconsciously teach their descendants to see displeasure in doing any physical activity. Insufficient physical activity leads to development of numerous lifestyle diseases and as well is closely connected with problems of musculoskeletal system. Sports activities are substitution for a lack of exercise. Sports have positive impact on our physical and mental health. We should pay attention while choosing a specific sport particularly when it comes to choosing a sport for children and juvenile. We can find many sports activities which are focused one-sidedly. Such one-sided burdening leads to the formation of functional disorders, musculoskeletal pain and in case of a long-term duration without sufficient compensation it might cause health problems and poor posture. Functional and postural disorders have a negative impact on athletic performance, they might worsen the quality of musculoskeletal system and even to eliminate athlete from the training process. An ideal way how to avoid the musculoskeletal difficulties is the utilization of physiotherapeutic procedures and methods by means of those it will help the movement compensation and muscular harmonization. In the theoretical part I am describing a piece of knowledge, which is related to body posture. I introduce tests, which will help us to evaluate and clarify a poor posture. To help us understand the issue therefore the basic fighting techniques, which are used in kickboxing, are explained here its characteristics and the classification of racing disciplines. Furthermore I introduce physiotherapeutic methods, which we can use, for influencing the poor body posture. The main goal of my bachelor thesis was to find out, what influence has a kickboxing training on the body posture of adolescents and if the use of physiotherapeutic methods will have a positive impact on their posture. In the practical part of my final thesis the method of qualitative research was used. The research file was comprised of three probands visiting kickboxing lessons for at least one year. The probands went through entry and final Kinesiological examination, which evaluated their body posture. Everyone of them was diagnosed with functional disorders and muscular imbalance. Everyone slightly improved their posture after two months of therapy. For the complete improvement of the body posture would be needed longer period of time than a given two months time. Performed research led to the realization of my goals and to an answer of the research question. The Bachelor Thesis can serve the professional and non-professional public. Specifically it can be used by martial arts coaches to enhance the quality of training and to improve the sports performances.

Autochthonous Musculature and its effect on Scoliotic Hold
VRÁNOVÁ, Barbora
This bachelor thesis deals with the influence of autochthonous musculature on scoliotic posture. The term autochthonous musculature means the deepest layer of back muscles situated along the spine. Autochthonous musculature is one of the components of the spine stabilization system. Together with the diaphragm, the transverse abdominal muscle and with the pelvic floor muscles it supports particularly the lumbar spine. The function of the autochthonous musculature is to set correct mutual position of two adjacent vertebrae and thus prevent the spine from incorrect loading. Its dysfunction may lead to scoliotic body posture. The thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical parts. The theoretical part explains the term autochthonous musculature and scoliotic posture. It also contains tests examining autochthonous musculature and selected conceptions and methods of its activation. The aim of the thesis was to elaborate case studies of patients with scoliotic body posture and to compare their condition in the input and the output examination before and after proposed and applied kinesiotherapy, to map the concrete influence of autochthonous musculature weight training on scoliotic posture of the monitored patients. Research questions were based on the aims: whether better position of the spine axis could be observed in the patients and whether autochthonous musculature weight training had positive impact on scoliotic posture. The practical part was based on qualitative research method. Data collection was performed by means of elaboration of case studies using the methods of interview, observation and kinesiological analysis. The case studies include the anamnesis taken, the input and output kinesiological analysis, a short-term therapy plan, description of the therapy course and a long-term therapy plan. The research sample consisted of four probands of different age. All the patients suffer from scoliotic body posture. The therapy lasted 10 weeks. Slight improvement of scoliotic body posture was achieved during the applied therapies by activation of the deep stabilization system of the spine, not only the autochthonous musculature. The deep stabilization system always works as a whole and activation just one of its components is impossible. This is why we cannot say that autochthonous musculature has positive influence on scoliotic posture. The results however show that the posture can be improved by activation of the deep stabilization system of the spine.

The evaluation of space conditions and work place in computer classes of selected primary schools in district Písek.
KLUIBEROVÁ, Michaela
This thesis deals with space conditions and working place in a computer lab. It also de-scribes the rules of correct seating of students and their feeling of comfort related to the stay in a computer lab. Theoretical part contents information about ergonomic requirements on the arrangement of working place at the computer. The information concerns table, chair, monitor, key-board and mouse. The requirements on space conditions of a computer lab are intro-duced as well as other factors. For example floor area, height of a room, position of working place and factors such as lighting, windows, noise, microclimatic conditions and ventilation. Working with computer effects our health, for example musculoskeletal problems, visual difficulties and psychical troubles are mentioned. Also the musculoskeletal system, sitting position, posture and examples of compen-sation exercise (concerning static load) are described in this thesis. The final section of the theoretical part is focused on the school stress, its conse-quences and also the school which supports health. The aim of the thesis is to map space conditions and working place in a computer lab in Písek district and to find out students opinions on feeling of comfort while staying in a computer lab and respecting the rules of correct seating. The second part of thesis gathers the results of my research. It concerned students from 6th till 9th classat chosen primary schools in Písek district by the method of ob-serving and the results were compared with the established criteria. Also the anonymous questionnaires were used. The space conditions of computer labs, working places of students and respecting the rules of correct seating were evaluated by observing. The questionnaires were focused on the recognition of students feeling of comfort while staying in a computer lab. Established facts were statistically tested by using chi-square test. The final results of the research show that working places in computer labs at pri-mary schools are suitable for ergonomic requirements. While observing of respecting the rules of correct seating, it was acknowledged, that these rules are not followed, despite the students have adequate conditions for their work. Although in the observed computer labs there were some deficiencies concerning space conditions and other factors, the students feel comfortable while staying in a computer lab. Because static load influences the musculoskeletal system of the students itis neces-sary to apply the factors of precaution at schools, especially as for the rules of correct seating. The students should be familiar with these rules and following the rules should be regularly and consistently controlled by teachers. The deficiencies in computer labs and on the working places are necessary to re-move to create adequate surrounding and conditions for the work of students. Appropri-ately arranged working place is basic requirement for the precaution of musculoskeletal problems and it also enables easier way of how to follow the rules of correct seating. Long-lasting sitting and unsuitable working conditions influence negatively the health of the students and that is significant also for the future. Health problems can be present till adulthood. The students should be aware of the risks and they should be taught to arrange their working place properly before they start working there.
