Prevention of the knee joint soft-tissue injuries in Athletics
KRÁLOVÁ, Eva
This Bachelor Thesis deals with the problems of injury of knee joint soft tissue structure. Knee soft tissue injury belongs to the most frequent injuries in athletics. The anterior cruciate ligament is very often harmed. The injury occurrence may be prevented by means of suitably chosen physiotherapeutic procedures to prevent occurrence of pathokinesiological consequences in the knee joint area as well as the whole locomotor system. The first aim of my work was to monitor the problems related to soft knee injury in selected athletes. The second aim was to prepare and apply the therapy procedure itself upon the obtained findings and to find to what extent the therapy affected the examined athletes with knee injuries. The theoretical part of the Thesis summarises the basic knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology, it deals with the most frequently injured knee soft structures, the most important check-up methods, the therapy possibilities and prevention of the injury. A qualitative research method was chosen for the research itself. The sample consisted of four randomly selected athletes. Two athletes were chosen from a group of short-distance runners and two athletes were chosen from a group specialized in long-distance running. Four individual therapeutic plans were compiled after an anamnestic interview and an entry kinesiology analysis. The plans were focused on an increase of the movement extent, increase of muscle strength, renewal of static and dynamic stability of the knee joint and removal of disturbed movement stereotypes. Positive results of examination in all the patients confirm correct selection of the therapy elements and the therapeutic plan. The extent of improvement in the monitored patients was influenced by the individuality of the patients and their approach. Positive results of the therapy may also be expected in the future and existence of preventive action, particularly in the secondary prevention level may be attached to. I recommend extension of the practical part by instrumentation examination by means of electromyography, posturography or digital baropodometry for extension of the work and making the data related to the issues in question more objective.
