Bezpalec, Jakub ; Marenčáková, Jitka (advisor) ; Řasová, Kamila (referee)
Title: Morphological profile of forefoot in school-age children in relation to the volume of physical activities Objectives: The aim of the thesis is to characterize the morphological profile of the foot with an emphasis on the forefoot and to identify specific differences between selected morphological parameters of the foot in school-age children based on different volumes of physical activity: significantly physically active, moderately physically active and physically inactive children. A secondary goal is to determine the profile of physical activities performed by children of younger school age and the relationship to selected foot deformities. Methods: The diploma thesis is a scientific-research work and has the character of an observational-descriptive non-experimental study. The research group of the study consisted of school children aged 6-10 years from three primary schools in Prague (average age 8 ±1.2 years, body height 132.8 ±8.6 cm, weight 29.9 ±7.7 kg, BMI 16 .8 ±16.8). The following dependent variables were measured: foot typology, function of the windlass mechanism of the foot, metaphalangeal joint stiffness of the big toe, and forefoot deformities between groups divided by the PAQ-C/CZ physical activity questionnaire. Questionnaire methods, a 3D leg scanner and selected clinical...

Assessment of effectiveness of flat foot examination among school-age children in pediatric outpatient clinic
Bezpalec, Jakub ; Kaprová, Jana (advisor) ; Marenčáková, Jitka (referee)
The main objective of this bachelor thesis is to compare the effectiveness of simple visual examination and use of clinical tests in diagnostics of flat feet. Another goal targets mapping the diagnosis of flat feet among pediatricians. Last but not least, I would like to open a discussion on whether it is advantageous to perform clinical tests in a pediatric outpatient clinic. Methods: In this study probands aged 7-11 years underwent a clinical examination of feet (sitting, standing and walking) as a part of a regular preventive check-up, followed by two clinical tests - the Heel-rise test and the Jack test. So as to achieve the objective evaluation of the flat feet, a total of three measurements were performed on the PhysioSensing pressure plate. It is a portable dynamic plantograph that allows the detection of the load on the areas of the sole of the foot and the subsequent calculation of the Arch index parameter. On its basis it is possible to classify the degree of flat feet. The work also included a questionnaire for pediatricians in the Google Forms format that contained 12 questions related to the diagnosis of flat feet. A descriptive analysis was performed. Results: A total number of 34 children were enrolled in the study, 3 did not attend and one participant was excluded from the study....
