Effect of magnetotherapy and distant electrotherapy on the healing process of bony tissue
Tobková, Martina ; Demeková, Júlia (advisor) ; Nováková, Pavlína (referee)
In my bachelor thesis I deal with the topic of magnetotherapy and distance electrotherapy in relation to the process of bone healing. The overview of theoretical knowledge provides basic information about bone tissue, its structure, fractures, differences between pediatric and adult fractures, its therapy and the healing process of bone tissue with fracture. I also write about both given therapies. The physical principle on which the therapies work, its effects, mechanism of these effects, parameters and indication groups of the therapies are described. The work also presents the results of some foreign research on the topic. In the practical part I deal with the confirmation of the true effect of both given physical therapies. The work involved 3 pediatric patients who received one of the therapies, as well as 10 patients from the control group who did not receive any therapy. X-rays taken immediately after the accident are compared with X-rays taken 4 and 6 weeks after the fracture. The healing phase is evaluated from X-rays according to Hammer's classification.

The effect of application distant electrotherapy /VAS-07/ on pain of patients suffering from back pain
KŘÍŽKOVÁ, Markéta
This thesis focuses on the back pain and possible ways of treatment of the pain it inflicts with distance elektrotherapy. Specifically, the impacts of the device VAS - 07 are discussed. The aforementioned device combines the effects of treatment based on the gate control theory of pain and phototheraphy The aim of this thesis is to map out the effects this therapy has on the pain of patients suffering from this disease. Nowadays, back pain is a disease affecting a large amount of patients and its etiology includes numerous structural and functional defects. Back pain befalls people from various social backgrounds and of all ages. Due to the rising incidence, this disease is becoming one of the most common reasons why people visit physiotherapeutical clinics. This is in turn caused by the lifestyle associated with our modern civilisation. There are many ways of dealing with this disease. Among frequently used techniques are kinesiotherapy, manipulation therapy, soft techniques, possitive termotherapy and different kinds of electrotherapy. One of the possible treatments is the distance electrotherapy, using the device VAS - 07. The theoretical part contains the fundamental information about the disease and the selected way of tretment. Namely, the anatomy and kinesiology of the spine, pain and its varieties, back pain, as well as distance electrotherapy and the device VAS - 07 itself are scrutinized. A qualitative research was carried out for the practical part of the thesis. The research is based on medical history of the patinets, kinesiology analyses of the patients and dialogs between each patient and the author. Both static and dynamic examinations are included in the kinesiology analyses. The research group consisted of four respondents of both sexes ranging between 40 and 55 years of age. All participants provided a written consent to the use of the amassed data in this thesis under the condition that they remain anonymous. The research was conducted in a rehabilitation clinic at the health center in Blatná. The results were mostly coincident among the participants. The employment of the therapy resulted in decrease of the pain level among all participants. Some of the participants further mentioned a change of the quality of the pain. There were also differences between the entrance and final examinations. Changes of posture were detected in the aspect examinations too. Most of the changes occurred in areas where patients experienced the pain or areas in close proximity. Adittionaly, changes were found in the mobility of spine segments and the mobility of the whole spine as well. After decerease in pain levels, the results of tests evaluating the mobility of the spine improved among all respondents. The inspected methods of treatment also caused the relaxation of soft tissue, which were previously less relaxed. This fact has elucidated when examined by the Kiblesr´s skinfold. Comparing the final kinesiology examinations to the initial one, an adjustment of hypertonic muscles was also detected.
