Stance and gait analysis using ZEBRIS FDM-T System in patients with scoliosis
Bulánová, Kateřina ; Lepšíková, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Opálková, Michaela (referee)
The thesis deals with the issue of walking and standing in patients with a scoliosis. The theoretical part of this thesis summarizes current knowledge of scoliosis, its classification, etiology, pathogenesis and risk factors of the curve progression. Then the most often changes of the stand and gait stereotype and their main causes are discussed. Goal of the practical part was to identify the difference between particular parameters of gait in an experimental group of patients with scoliosis and a control group of healthy individuals. The examination was performed via the dynamic plantography method using the Zebris FDM-T System. 19 probands with scoliosis aged 8 - 19 and a control group of 19 orthopedically healthy patients in a corresponding age distribution have been selected for the study. The results did not provide any statistically significant difference on a significance level p=0,05. However, there were clear differences between the groups referring to bigger asymmetries in stance and gait stereotype in the scoliosis patients group. Since even in a scientific literature there is a difference in opinion on this issue, more research might be necessary for the exact evaluation of the influence of scoliosis on the stance and gait stereotype.

Title: Examination and therapy of balance of patients after stroke Subtitle: The use of Bobath concept elements in the therapy of stability impairment ABSTRACT: The bachelor's thesis deals with topic of balance of patients after stroke. It's divided into theorethical and practical part. In the theoretical part, balance is defined as a term and particular types of postural control are described. The theoretical part also involves overview of the best known tests used for examination component types of postural control. It summarizes basic rules of postural impairment therapy of patients after stroke. There is also described the Bobath concept as an option for therapeutical approach to patients with balance impairment, which is caused by stroke in case history. The practical part consists of two case studies. The goal of practical part was to verify an effect of therapy by using selected elements of Bobath concept in patients with balance impairment. The result was objectified with the use of BESTest scale. Key words: stroke, balance, Bobath concept, balance control, balance training, physiotherapy.
