Balance training in seniors using force platform
Holá, Irena ; Janatová, Markéta (advisor) ; Jeníček, Jakub (referee)
Name: Irena Holá Supervisor: MUDr. Markéta Janatová Opponent: Title of bachelor thesis: Balance training in seniors using force platform. Abstract: This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of balance disorders due to ageing and the usage of the virtual reality in case of these disorders. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of home based balance training using the force platform and visual biofeedback. For the objective evaluation the Footscan® system is used. The thesis consists of two parts. Theoretical part summarizes the knowledge related to the balance provision, old age and ageing, involution changes which leads to balance disorders. This part also describes the virtual reality, its usage in rehabilitation and includes several studies of using gaming systems in elderly. In the end of the theoretical part the system which is used in the practical part is described. The practical part describes four weekly home balance training in the form of case reports, charts and graphs. There are analyzing data of seven respondents in the senior age. Results of the work are evaluated and compared with the conclusions of foreign studies. Key words: Virtual reality, aging, geriatric syndromes, balance, force platform, instability

The effect of targeted rehabilitation on vestibular compensation in patients after vestibular schwannoma resection.
Holá, Irena ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Čada, Zdeněk (referee)
The thesis deals with the evaluation of the impact of preoperative application of gentamicin on vestibular compensations of patient after vestibular schwannoma surgery. The trial involved 32 patients with diagnosed vestibular schwannoma and hospitalized with the indicated for neurosurgical resection at the University Hospital Motol. Ototoxic gentamicin was transtympanically applied to ten of these patients two months before their surgery. After the surgery the patients underwent a rehabilitation program based on the visual biofeedback using the Homebalance system. To evaluate the vestibular compensation the subjective visual vertical measurement and the Dynamic Gait Index standardized walking test were used. In total, each patient performed three examinations: before the surgery, after the surgery and before the end of hospitalization. Statistical analysis of the measured data showed the statistically significant increase tilt of subjective visual vertical and the decrease in the overall score of Dynamic Gait Index after surgery. Reduction in the subjective visual vertical tilt and the overall score of Dynamic Gait Index after rehabilitation has not been proven to be statistically significant. Any statistically significant difference was found between the group of patients treated by gentamicin and...
