Changes in pulmonary function and cardiac activity during reflex rolling stimulation according to Vojta
Charvátová, Zuzana ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Martínek, Milan (referee)
Author: Zuzana Charvátová Title: Changes in pulmonary function and cardiac activity during reflex rolling stimulation according to Vojta Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate accompanying non-locomotive manifestations within the comprehensive response to stimulation of trigger zones from the concept of reflex locomotion according to Professor Vojta, which are a reflection of the function of the autonomic nervous system. Changes in respiratory parameters and changes in cardiac activity have been selected from these manifestations. Methods: The research was conducted on 26 healthy adult women aged 19-25 years. Reflex rolling according to Vojta from the supine position (RO - 1st phase) was chosen. Pressure stimulation was applied from the left chest trigger zone between the 6th and 7th rib for 10 minutes. Each subject also underwent apparent (sham) stimulation in the same position (RO - 1st phase), lasting 10 minutes, but on the right side of the chest between the 2nd and 3rd rib. Due to the possible lingering effect of pressure stimulation during VRL, sham stimulation was always preceded by experimental stimulation. A 10-minute break was taken between the two cycles. Data for the analysis of changes in lung function were obtained by spirometric measurements of FVC, FEV1, and PEF before...

Breath monitoring during motion therapy
Koťová, Markéta ; Bubník, Karel (referee) ; Kolářová, Jana (advisor)
This semestral thesis deals with continuous monitoring of pulmonary ventilation during the patients' theraphy and focuses especially on monitoring of their ventilation processes. It is necessarry to detect, monitor and differentiate abdominal and thoracic breathing during the theraphy. This thesis describes the very basic and common method, a spirometry. Next, an overview of more advanced state-of-the-art methods based on both, tactile and proximity principles is given. In addition to that, two recently developed methods by BUT are discussed as well -- a tactile-based measurement similar to blood pressure sensor and a proximity-based measurement method employing TOF cameras. The data acquired by these two methods are proccesed and examined in order to evaluate and justify their performance in a real application.

Spirometry in LabVIEW
Pernicová, Lenka ; Dřínovský, Jiří (referee) ; Harabiš, Vratislav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with a method of Pulmonary Function Tests called Spirometry. It consists of two parts. The first part introduces individual methods of lung function testing and examines characteristics that describe work of lungs regarding a spirometric curve. The second part based on the characteristics examined in the previous part is focused on implementation of a spirometer within the graphical environment of LabView. The implemented virtual tool is able to show a spirometric curve and to analyse particular characteristics. The corresponding signal and even the analysed characteristics can be saved in a given format into appropriate files.

Comparison of spirometric instruments' precision
Chmelíková, Lucie ; Janoušek, Oto (referee) ; Slávik, Vladimír (advisor)
This thesis deals with pulmonary testing with emphasis to spirometry. In the first part is introduced and described pulmonary system and its attributes. There is a clear and complete list of pulmonary characteristics and parameters. It contains integrated summary of principles that are used for pulmonary measurement devices. First part is followed by description of created virtual device using LabVIEW programming. Simple meter of lung volumes can easily create spirometric curve and automatically evaluate desired values of volume. Program is further enhanced with optional archiving of measured spirometric curve. The last part of this thesis uses statistic testing for deciding of validity or invalidity of hypothesis. By statistic testing of hypothesis we are gaining and expanding basic knowledge about spirometric devices.

Spirometry
Vyškovský, Daniel ; Slávik, Vladimír (referee) ; Janoušek, Oto (advisor)
This work presents spirometric measurements on a group of volunteers. First of all the physiology of respiration is explained. Further the theory necessary for measurement and analysis of respiration parameters is mentioned. A separate chapter contains information about ventilation disorders with focus on obstructive diseases. The measurement methodology is described in the analysis section. The program developed for automatic spirometric signal analysis is described in the next section. Parameters obtained from the program are statistically analysed and compared for physiological and obstructive state. Changes, which the individual parameters represent in relation to the simulated obstruction, are discussed. The appendix section contains a report to be used for laboratory lessons together with the developed program.
