Efficiency of cold treatment of locomotive system dysfunctions
Vášková, Mariana ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Vláčilová, Ivana (referee)
Title: Efficiency of cold treatment of locomotive system dysfunctions Objectives: The theoretical part should provide an overview of effects of cold on the human organism. The practical part reports a pilot study in which local cryotherapy was applied to painful areas of dysfunctional locomotive system. Methods: After measuring local painfulness using an algometer, the Cryogen 2 device was used for local cryotherapeutic treatment; after the treatment, algometer was used again. Subjective state of the patient was monitored throughout the process. Cryotherapy was applied within normal individual physiotherapeutic treatment to patients of varying age, sex, and locomotive system dysfunctions. Results: We have shown that local cryotherapy, using the Cryogen 2 device, did decrease painfulness in measured areas. Although significant differences in pain perception were found between male and female patients, the efficiency of cryotherapy did not depend on sex. Some correlation was found between treatment efficiency and age. No evidence was found for establishing that repeated application decreases pain perception measured before the next treatment. The results are influenced by a smaller sample of patients and measurements, and by inhomogeneity of patients. Key words: pain treatment, cold, local cryotherapy,...

Case report of physiotherapeutic care of a patient after total knee replacement
Vášková, Mariana ; Dudová, Agnieszka (advisor) ; Hlavičková, Růžena (referee)
This bachelor's dissertation discusses a case report of physiotherapeutic care of a patient after total knee replacement. In the first, theoretical, part, anatomic structures, biomechanics of the knee, and knee replacement are described as well as the typology of operations and physiotherapeutic ap- proaches to patients after total knee replacement. In the second part, a case report is described. It contains anamnesis, initial kinesiologic examination, course of the therapy, final kinesiologic examination and evaluation of the therapy. The results of physiotherapeutic care of the patient are: increased range of motion of the knee, enhanced muscle strength in lower extremities, removal of some reflexive changes, and improved mobility of patella of the operated limb. As a result of physioterapeutic care, the overall condition of the patient has improved.
