Objectivization of a postural mechanism in patients with a spinal cord injury
Mirská, Eliška ; Vacek, Jan (advisor) ; Mende, Karel (referee)
It is important to maintain a posture via equilibrial and protective reactions in all activities of daily living. There is normal neurological finding in upper extremities in patients with a spinal cord injuries in the area from Th1 to Th7, muscles of the thorax are paralysed under the level of the lesion and when there is a complete2 damage of the upper pectoral spinal cord, abdominal muscles are always paralysed. There is an important part in a therapy of patients with a spinal cord lesion, which consists of an activation of the postural system by means of sensomotory stimulation exercise according to Janda called sitting on a cylinder. The aim of this study is to objectively evaluate the impact of the exercise on a cylinder on postural system of patients with lesion of postural muscles. Surface electromyography was chosen as the most suitable objective method . Special set of testing movements on a deckchair or on a cylinder was created. Selected patients were tested by exercises on a deckchair or on a cylinder before a stay in the centre. After a ten-day stay the patients are tested by the same set of exercises and evaluation of their muscular activities is performed. Results of our measurement lead to a conclusion, that sensomotory stimulation is valuable part of kinesiotherapy in patients with SCI in...
