Malinová, Lenka ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
Title: Differentiation of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among nurses in inpatient and outpatient care units Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine a prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among nurses and compare localization of disorders among inpatient and outpatient care units nurses. Another goal of the study was to find a connection between WRMDs and occurring common factors. Methods: There was a questionnaire made to conduct this study. It was based on standardised Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire (NMQ) and sent in both printed and electronic form to various healthcare facilities. The research group consisted of 146 respondents, mostly women, that work as a nurse. Results were processed from obtained data and the conclusions were determined. Results: In the last 12 months, 87 % of nurses suffered from work-related musculoskeletal disorders in at least one area of their body. The most commonly affected area was lower back and neck, both regions approximately 65 %. The biggest difference between nurses working in inpatient and outpatient care units was hand and wrist, where the results showed three times percentage of MS disorder occurence in the first group. Another difference was in lower back area, approximately 20 % less outpatient care units nurses...

The influence of the working environment on the quality of posture - applied ergonomics and physiotherapy in the office environment
CHADIM, Petr
This bachelor's thesis explores the impact of the work environment on body posture quality within the context of office settings. The objective of this study is to analyze how factors of the work environment, such as furniture ergonomics, workstation arrangement, and work tools, affect employees' body posture, and how these factors can be optimized to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and enhance overall comfort. The study focuses on two primary areas of intervention: applied ergonomics and physiotherapy. Concerning applied ergonomics, the thesis investigates principles and practices for designing work environments that promote healthy body posture and mitigate the risks of adverse effects caused by prolonged sitting. Additionally, it evaluates the ergonomic aspects of technical equipment and employees ergonomic habits. Physiotherapy constitutes the second pillar of this work. The research examines how a physiotherapeutic approach can assist employees in improving body posture quality, enhancing muscle stability, and preventing potential musculoskeletal disorders. This section of the thesis presents specific physiotherapeutic exercise procedures and techniques suitable for office environments. The practical part of the work was conducted in the form of a qualitative research on a sample of three subjects. I conducted an analysis of existing ergonomic and physiotherapeutic approaches and case studies investigating the specific implementation of these approaches in a selected company. The results indicate that proper ergonomics of the working environment and regular physiotherapy can effectively contribute to maintaining healthy body posture of employees and thus their overall comfort and productivity.

Occurence and characteristics of functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system in physical therapy students during the studies
Perglerová, Anna ; Řasová, Kamila (advisor) ; Marková, Magdaléna (referee)
Introduction: Physical therapy is an essential part of medicine worldwide, helping with a wide range of issues across the population. The idea of this study was based on the assumption that physical therapy students themselves benefit from the acquired knowledge to maintain and improve their own health, which is particularly important given the physical demands of the physical therapy field. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine through a longitudinal, observational study, whether functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system occur in physical therapy students studying at the 3rd Faculty of Medicine of Charles University, and if so, how they develop over time during their studies. Methods: The research study involved 16 students (2 males and 14 females, with an average age of 20.28 years.) The measurements took place twice, once at the beginning of the first year of study immediately following enrollment at the university, and once at the end of the second year of study. Data collection was carried out at the Laboratory of Sports at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at Charles University under the supervision of department staff. The evaluated parameters included the level of physical activity assessed through a shortened form of the International Physical Activity...

Plakáty kampaně CHCETE-LI UŠETŘIT, VSAĎTE NA ERGONOMII
Výzkumný ústav bezpečnosti práce
Bolest, nepříjemné pocity nebo snížená funkčnost zad, krku nebo končetin jsou v dnešní době u zaměstnanců běžným jevem. Tyto zdravotní potíže se obvykle označují jako muskuloskeletální poruchy související s prací, angl. MSD – Musculoskeletal Disorders.Rizika související s pracovními polohami, s vykonáváním opakovaných pohybů a zaujímáním nepřirozených poloh či přemísťováním těžkých břemen na pracovištích jsou rizikovými faktory, které mohou vést až k MSD. MSD jsou nejčastější příčinou pracovní neschopnosti prakticky ve všech členských státech Evropské unie. Pracovní neschopnost z důvodu MSD obvykle trvá déle než pracovní neschopnost pro jiné zdravotní problémy, a stojí tak zaměstnavatele a národní ekonomiky miliardy eur. Muskuloskeletální poruchy většinou nemají jen jednu příčinu. Často jde o kombinaci různých rizikových faktorů včetně fyzických a biomechanických, organizačních a psychosociálních či individuálních faktorů. Mediální kampaň pro zaměstnavatele se z výše uvedených důvodů v roce 2022 zabývá otázkou ergonomie a poruch pohybového aparátu.

Allsop and Ackland (2010) in their study describe that pianists suffer from MS disorders in 42 %. However, the prevalence of MS disorders differs depending on the region. There has not been done yet any evaluation of prevalence of MS disorders in pianists in Czech republic. This evaluation is crutial to make a comparison of our national results internationally. Furthermore, it is required to establish well-prepared preventional program for starting pianists. Aims: The purpose of this study is to evaluate prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in pianists. Methods: Our data were collected using questionnaire survey. We distributed questionnaires among czech profesional pianists, piano teachers, and piano students by emails who were older than 18. Results: We sent 390 questionnaires by emails and received 78 of them completed. We revealed that the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders of all respondents was 72 %. The prevalence was the highest in the group of the age from 18 to 60 reaching 90 %. The most common locality of musculoskeletal disorder was in the forearm. The group of pianists who started to play piano at the age from 3 to 4 were more prone to present with...
