The influence of sensorimotor stimulation induced by specialized tools and pshysioterapeutical techniques on the function of the foot of middle childhood aged children
VOTAVOVÁ, Eva
This bachelor thesis addresses the function issues of children's foot and the possible ways of influencing it by using sensomotoric stimulation. The foot is an important organ, which has multiple functions. Locomotion is one of the primary functions. The ability to adapt to different types of surfaces is one of the other functions. The gait on different terrains is natural for the foot. Alas, under the influence of the modern age, we the deviate from nature and lock our feet into misshapen footwear. Last but not least it is the sensitive component, which allows the motor system to respond appropriately to stimuli. The name of this phenomenon is sensorimotor coordination. Its base principle is the processing of data sent from the proprioceptors embedded in the body structures. The central nervous system processes the information and responds in an organism-specific way. It is an essential requirement for physiological gait. Basic information allowing the understanding of the given topic is stated in the theoretical part, for example the anatomy and structure of the locomotion system in the lower extremity area, biomechanics of gait included. A great deal of attention is paid to sensomotoric stimulation and its possible usage. The practical part was made in the form of a qualitative research. The research poll consists of four younger school-aged subjects, who took part in a 3-month therapy. The results were obtained by comparing the pre-therapy examination and post-therapy examination. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to conduct a survey about sensomotoric stimulation and to elaborate how it can impact functions of the foot. The results show, that it can have a positive impact on subjects with signs of flat feet. The muscles of flat feet are flaccid and therefore the sensomotoric stimulation is a suitable therapy for this condition. It activates the main leg joints stabilizers and the short muscles of the arches. The results are not as convincing in the case of a high arch, nevertheless even this condition has shown improvement. The muscles of a foot with a high arch have higher tension and in many cases, structural changes are present. These changes can be removed only by operation, e.g. pes cavus. Nonetheless if the therapy is undertaken at an early age and with a proper intensity, a positive effect can be achieved. Sensomotoric stimulation should be a part of natural development for the human body. It ensures the correct and efficient integrating of muscle units during locomotion.
