Objectification of the effect of physiotherapy on the activation of the abdominal wall in patients with chronic low back pain
Hoffmannová, Barbora ; Kobesová, Alena (advisor) ; Zahradník, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis in the form of research deals with the issue of vertebrogenic lumbar spine syndrome, its formation, examination and therapy and possibilities of objectification of therapy. The theoretical resumes the present knowledge of motor control, postural functions, spinal stabilization system and vertebrogenic lumbar spine syndrome. It also provides possibilities for therapeutic influence and objectifying physiotherapy. The thesis also presents two case studies of vertebrogenic lumbar spine syndrome, which were examined with a new Ohm belt device that measures the strength of postural stabilization and abdominal wall activity. The parameters of spinal stabilization and the amount of activation of the abdominal wall were measured before and after treatment, and the results were compared. The subjective effect of therapy was evaluated by a standardized Oswestry questionnaire assessing pain and disability. Measurement results in both patients in increased activation of the abdominal wall after therapeutic intervention. The result correlates with the subjective perception of therapy of reducing pain and alleviating disability in both patients. Keywords vertebrogenic lumbar spine syndrome, spinal stabilization, objectification of therapy, Ohm belt, Oswestry questionnaire

Neuro-visual training of athletes
Hoffmannová, Barbora ; Veselý, Viktor (advisor) ; Čakrt, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis deals with the evaluation and training of cognitive-visual functions of elite athletes using the NeuroTracker computer program. The theoretical part pursues collecting of recent studies and literature, concerning predominantly visual perception and its connection with cognitive abilities and movement. It focuses mainly on sportsmen and evaluation of their visual functions. Furthemore it introduces the concept of neurovisual training and its possible application in other clinical fields. Methodology: The NeuroTracker program evaluates reaction abilities, visual memory, spatial imagination and other components of cognitive and visual functions. The output of this evaluation is a numerical value before and after training and calculated percentage improvement. This change was measured in a group of 64 athletes of various sports. The thesis also includes case reports of two athletes who underwent a general optometric examination, which was complemented by further visual training. Results: We have showed statistically that after a series of trainings on the NeuroTracker, there is an overall improvement of the measured parameters. Moreover we have shown that the number of performed trainings moderately correlates with the resulting improvement. Each sport correlates in a different way however....
