Analysis and possibilities of therapy of postural functions in long jumpers
NIKODEMOVÁ, Nela
This bachelor thesis deals with the analysis and possibilities of therapy of postural functions in long jumpers. The aim of this thesis is to describe the issues of movement stereotypes and postural system occurring among long jumpers. Another aim is to design and implement compensatory exercises with the aim of therapy of these disorders. In the theoretical part, the concept of postural stability and related concepts are explained. Then, the postural system and the anatomy of the lower limb are briefly described. Last but not least, the long jump, its history, technique and training of this discipline are described. Furthermore, the most common disorders of the postural system and the physiotherapeutic procedures used in the therapy are mentioned. In the practical part, the methods used to collect data are described. Furthermore, the practical part consists of case studies of three probands aged 14 and 15 years who are actively involved in long jump. Each proband underwent an initial kinesiological examination, according to which a short-term rehabilitation plan was designed. The research was conducted over a 10week period in which each proband completed 10 therapy sessions. At the end of the research, probands underwent an exit kinesiology examination. I compared the results from both examinations with each other. The data collected was then used to create a manual summarizing recommended compensatory exercises for long jumpers. The examinations revealed certain areas where probands consistently had similar pathologies. These areas included the shoulder girdle, pelvis, thoracic and lumbar spine, anterior and posterior thigh muscles, knees and ankle joints. Insufficiency of the deep stabilization system also proved to be a very common pathology. The probands also showed some differences between the rebounding and non-rebounding lower limb. This work can serve both physiotherapists in their work with these athletes or coaches and athletes themselves as educational material.
