Conservative intervention in children of preschool and younger school age with pes planovalgus - a parallel clinical study
Rybková, Lucie ; Janoušek, David (advisor) ; Kmeť, Jan (referee)
5 Abstract This study investigates the impact of conservative physiotherapeutic interventions on pes planovalgus in preschool and early school-aged children. The theoretical part provides a description of the anatomical structures of the foot, an introduction to selected conservative methods used in physiotherapeutic intervention applied to the therapeutic group of subjects, an outline of diagnostic possibilities for pes planovalgus, a description of indices further utilized in the practical section, and an explanation of terms such as podoscope or plantogram. The second part of the study then theoretically describes the methods applied in practice within the research on the impact of physiotherapeutic intervention on pes planovalgus. A total of 20 subjects were included in the data processing. In both the therapeutic and control groups, there were 10 children with pes planovalgus aged between four and twelve years. Participants in the therapeutic group underwent three 25-minute exercise sessions led by a physiotherapist, preceded by a 50-minute visit for history taking, initial examination, and first therapy session. Subjects and their parents were also educated on self-therapy at home. After completion of the physiotherapeutic intervention cycle, exit measurements and data processing were conducted,...

Objectice evaluation of postural function of abdominal muscles and intra-abdominal pressure

Objective evaluation of postural function of abdominal muscles and intra-abdominal pressure Abstract This dissertation deals with an important mechanism of trunk stabilization, the increase of intra-abdominal pressure. Intra-abdominal pressure is created by the coordinated contraction of the diaphragm, along with the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. Intra-abdominal pressure works in all directions, stabilizing the trunk while reduceing axillary compression of the spine. Intra-abdominal pressure is increased during activities that require demands on the stabilization of the spine. Intra-abdominal pressure and trunk muscle activity can be measured in several different invasive and non-invasive ways. In rehabilitation medicine, anorectal or gastroesophageal probes are most often used to measure intra-abdominal pressure and measurements are often supplemented by evaluation of muscle activation using electromyography. However, these measurements are costly, time consuming and inconvenient for patients. The most common tool for evaluating trunk stabilization in rehabilitation practice is digital palpation of abdominal wall tension. However, this evaluation method is subjective. Therefore, new pressure sensors have been developed that allow non-invasive assessment of abdominal wall tensionand thus also the...

Objectification of supporting base of infants at the edge of third and fourth month via using a pressure plate Conformat - pilot study
Janoušek, David ; Jevič, Filip (advisor) ; Dyrhonová, Olga (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to contribute to discovering a method which can lead to objectification of support base of infants in prone position at the edge of third and fourth month. The motor development during first six months is described in this thesis based on literature search. Part of the thesis is dedicated to selected primitive reflexes and postural reactions. Furthermore, the work deals with objectification of support base of infants at the edge of third and fourth month. In the study were evaluated 10 infants (5 males and 5 females) with average age 14,01 ± 2,2 weeks. Distribution of support was assessed in three situations such as prone position, prone position with maximal rotation of head to the left and prone position with maximal rotation of head to the right. The results did not show significant difference in weight bearing the left and right upper extremity in prone position. However there was a significant difference in weight bearing in the upper extremities during head rotation. The upper extremity on the side of rotation was more loaded. The weight applied to the upper and lower extremities was significantly different in every evaluated situation. Upper extremities were always weighted more. Keywords Supporting base, developmental kinesiology, postural reactions, primitive...
