Analysis of processing Rehawalk data in patients after stroke
Řiháková, Emma ; Oplatková, Lenka (advisor) ; Pintarová, Sylva (referee)
Diploma thesis entitled "Analysis of Gait data utilizing the Rehawalk treadmill in post- stroke patients," is focused on investigating the gait parameters of individuals who have suffered a stroke and subsequently undergone analysis on the Zebris Rehawalk treadmill. This study specifically examines temporal and spatial parameters, including step length, anteroposterior Center of Pressure (COP) position, and lateral COP symmetry. The theoretical section of the thesis provides an in-depth discussion on stroke causes, clinical effects, and rehabilitation interventions. Furthermore, it provides an overview of the Zebris Rehawalk treadmill, employed for both analytical and therapeutic purposes, along with a delineation of its specifications. The central objective of this research was to determine how the aforementioned gait parameters evolve over time among post-stroke patients. The resulting values indicate the effectiveness of post-stroke gait therapy, which is an important component of independence and autonomy. The study includes participants who have experienced a stroke, the experimental cohort (n=24; females=5, males=19), as well as a control group, healthy individuals (n=47; females=32, males=15). The control cohort was utilized solely for the purpose of result comparison concerning...

Utilization of dance elements in physiotherapy
Volfová, Michaela ; Demeková, Júlia (advisor) ; Pintarová, Sylva (referee)
Bachelor thesis Utilization of dance elements in physiotherapy Abstract Physiotherapy and dance have in common finding beauty of movement. In contemporary dance naturally occur positions from developmental kinesiology. This thesis brings suggestion of connection elements of contemporary dance and developmental kinesiology and their utilization in physiotherapy with aim to demonstrate and evaluate their effect. Influence of dance elements on musculoskeletal system is evaluated by detailed kinesiological analysis, measuring range of motion in joints, testing muscular force and locomotor stereotypes, and DNS tests. Practicing exercises with dance elements improves postural stabilization, coordination and quality of movement execution.

Influence of cooling of peripheral parts of lower extremities on postural stability
Havelková, Jana ; Bitnar, Petr (advisor) ; Pintarová, Sylva (referee)
This thesis examines the effect of cooling of peripheral parts of lower limbs on postural stability. The introduction describes the mechanisms how cold effects the human organism and individual tissues exposed to cold, such as skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves. In addition, postural stability, etiology of balance disorders and their implications are described. The aim of the practical part of the thesis is to assess the impact of cooling of feet on postural stability and also to determine the duration of such an effect. Static stability was assessed on 26 healthy individuals with a Zebris FDT-H instrument. The cooling procedure was carried out with 10-12řC water over a period of 12 minutes. Postural stability was measured 3 times during the experiment: before the cooling, immediately after the cooling and 1 minute after the cooling. The measured variables were: the 95% COP (Centre of Pressure) confidence ellipse area, COP trajectory and COP average velocity and the distribution of weight on the soles. The impact of the cooling procedure on the 95% confidence area was statistically significant. The results of other measurements also demonstrated increased values of measured variables after the cooling procedure. The persistence of the cooling effect was evaluated by comparing the first...
