Effect of Wearing Minimalist Shoes on Foot
Fürstová, Anna Františka ; Bartlová, Petra (advisor) ; Baranová, Eva (referee)
Background: Growing popularity of minimalist footwear brings up a lot of questions. Studies on its long-term positive as well as negative effects are further needed. Purpose: The aim of the thesis is to investigate how does wearing of minimalist shoes for six months influences a human foot. Initially, we have expected a finger extension in width, especially the lateral extension of the big toe. Additionally, we have assumed to improve the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. Methods: We had two groups of participants - the experimental one (11 participants), which was wearing minimalist shoes for six months and the control group (7 participants). The control group continued to wear its conventional footwear. For both of the groups, plantar imprint on the podoscopic device PodoCam as well as the angle of the big toe were measured. Subsequently, the footprints were transferred to Chippaux-Šmiřák index for sequent evaluation. Results: Welch test was used to verify our two hypotheses. The first one, six months of wearing minimalist shoes decreases Chippaux-Šmiřák index, was statistically significant (p=0,009). The second one, six months of wearing minimalist shoes decreases angle of the big toe, was statistically significant as well (p=0,03). The hypotheses were accepted. Conclusion: Wearing of...

Short-term effect of Vojta reflex locomotion on respiratory and circulatory functions in patients on mechanical ventilation
Balouš, Michal ; Bartlová, Petra (advisor) ; Brach, Martin (referee)
6 ABSTRACT Respiratory insufficiency and the need of mechanical ventilation together represent a big problem for physiotherapeutic rehabilitation in patients on the intensive care units. The main objective of this thesis is to confirm the effect of Vojta reflex locomotion on increasing tidal volume and respiratory rate. A secondary objective of this thesis is to track the changes in blood pressure and heart rate and determine their direction of change. The final objective is to confirm the use of Vojta reflex locomotion as a method of early mobilization of patients. Methods: This study involves 7 probands aged from 42 to 73 years, who were undergoing mechanical ventilation in spontaneous mode. All 7 of these probands were hospitalized in KAR FNKV. Every patient underwent a therapy of Vojta reflex locomotion in the starting position of reflex turning I. with the stimulation of chest zone for the duration of 5 minutes on each side. Results: Based on the results of Wilcoxon pair test we can confirm that the tidal volume increased one hour after therapy in comparison to the values collected immediately before therapy (p-value 0,018). Also the values of respiratory rate increased immediately after therapy (p-value 0,028) and one hour after therapy (p- value 0,037). There were no significant changes in the values...

Comparison of the incidence of flat feet in children in ordinary and forest kindergartens
Špačková, Petra ; Bartlová, Petra (advisor) ; Marenčáková, Jitka (referee)
Goals: The main objective of this bachelor thesis was to analyse the incidence of flat feet in children aged 4 to 5 years in kindergartens and to compare whether there is a difference between the frequency of flat feet in forest kindergartens compared to ordinary kindergartens. The result may indicate whether the kindergarten environment has an effect on the formation of the children's sole. Methods: The following were evaluated for 20 children from ordinary kindergartens and 20 children from forest kindergartens aged 4 to 5 years: plantogram, physical examination, weight, height, foot size, type of footwear - conventional/ barefoot. The plantogram was made using a podoscope from SANOMED s.r.o. and evaluated by the Chippaux-Smirak index (CSI). Statistical processing was done in MS Excel and in the statistical program Rstudio. Results: The results of the study show that children from forest kindergartens have lower CSI, ie. less flat feet (p = 0,0351). The degree of arching of the foot is usually similar on the left and right foot (p = 0,00001). There is no significant difference in the frequency of flat feet in girls and boys (p = 0,9761). No correlation was found between CSI and BMI (p = 0,421) nor between CSI and foot size (p = 0,792). Children with barefoot shoes have lower CSI values than...

Postural plagiocephaly from persistent head predilection
Krajčovičová, Michaela ; Bartlová, Petra (advisor) ; Knoppová, Tereza (referee)
The main objektive: The main objective of this bachelor thesis is to summarize information about the origin and development of plagiocephaly, its diagnosis and treatment options. It also deals with the effect of plagiocephaly on the child's psychomotor development, posture and asymmetric posture. Methodology: The selection of probands took place in the Children's Day Rehabilitation Hospital in Hradec Králové in the autumn of 2018 and in the Institute of Technical - Prosthetic Care Malík a spol. in 2019. My criteria for selecting probands were: natural vaginal delivery or Caesarean section, Apgaar score 8 - 10, age 3 - 4 months, diagnosed plagiocephaly or asymmetric positional syndrome. I observed the development of the skull shape and psychomotor development in each of them for 3 consecutive months. In the children's day hospital in Hradec Králové, I monitored the course of physiotherapeutic care, the influence of positioning and Vojta's reflex therapy on the child's development. I photographed the children (group A) during therapy and measured the head circumference, CVAI and CI indices. This research took place from September to December 2018. I worked on prosthetics in August 2019, where I started monitoring 7 probands (hereinafter referred to as group B), whose head was measured using a...
