7 ABSTRACT The occurrence of enthesopathies is associated with muscle insertion sites and physical activities. The aim of this work is focused on two basic target areas. In the methodical section, I tested two methods of enthesopathy evaluation (Crubézy, 1988; Villotte, 2006) and I monitored the influence of age and physical stress on the incidence of enthesopathies in a documented skeletal collection from Greece. The main aim was then the evaluation of enthesopathies in the Great Moravian population from the settlement agglomeration Mikulčice-Valy (9th -10th century) using the selected method and the subsequent interpretation of the results attained, taking into consideration the archaeological facts relating to the given locality. Based on the observed degrees of concordance between the repeated evaluations, I used Villotte's method (2006) for final evaluation. I proved the correlation between the prevalence of enthesopathies and age in individuals from a recently documented skeletal collection. I was unable to demonstrate the influence of physical activity on the incidence of enthesopathies. This is apparently due to the small number of individuals with manual and non-manual occupations. In individuals from the Mikulčice settlement agglomeration, I recorded a demonstrable difference between individual...
The use of a shock wave in the physiotherapy
NOVÁK, Jan
Except a few scientific studies there is not yet enough available literature, written in Czech language, which would summarize theoretical information on the effects of shock wave therapy. In my thesis I tried to clarify physical conditions associated with emergence and specific spread of shock waves in various media and other physical principles which explain behavior and effects of shock waves passing through different types of tissues. From the results of expert studies and articles I made a survey of the most common possibilities of use of shock waves in medicine - especially in physiotherapy. In the practical part I evaluate the effects and course of shockwave therapy in three randomly selected patients diagnosed with epicondylitis radialis humeri (tennis elbow). Patients were treated by a series of applications of radial shock waves, when one session amounted to 1500 - 2000 shocks of varying frequency of 4-21 Hz and the pneumatic pressure of 2 - 3.2 bar. The results show that the patient may respond differently to shockwave therapy. Due to the fact that in a relatively small research sample quite disparate results have been recorded - the first patient significantly improved, the second improved slightly and the third got worse on the contrary - we can better understand the diversity of opinions of the professional public on the meaningfulness of the shock waves use in orthopedic diagnoses. For the practical part the method of qualitative research was chosen. Interview techniques, observations, case reports, data analysis and research were used. The research was conducted in the rehabilitation centre OLMA R + in České Budějovice and Rehabilitation Department of Polyclinic South MEDIPONT Ltd. in the time period from January to April 2012.
Physiotherapy and treatment of elbow enthesopathy
MRÁZKOVÁ, Lucie
The topic of my work with the name ?Physiotherapy and Treatment of Enthesopathy in the Ulnar Joint? is very current at present. A large part of the population suffers from it, in the consequence of excessive loading. Very often the first symptoms, which could prevent the problems, are not taken into account. It often starts after single hard work (computer typing, wood chopping, etc.), and that acute form very often changes into a chronic form. The treatment of such problems is usually very protracted. The choice of the treatment is difficult as well and no method of a correct procedure of therapy has been described yet, because each individual reacts in a different way. It is not possible to estimate how long it will take, before the everyday activities could be resumed. As the aim in the theoretical part of my work I chose to study and apply the current available information from various resources and thus create an educational material about the application of suitable treatment. The basic anatomy of ulnar joint, kinesiology, the most often factors and reasons of the origin are described there. Further there were special methods of examination and a clinical picture, therapy and prevention against the problems. For the practical part I chose a method of a qualitative research. Three cases of patients, who were treated by MUDr. Kunovsky in Tabor and who underwent physiotherapy there, have been studied and dealt with. The research was carried out by means of observation, anamnesis and discussions during the treatment, the documentation of the patients and special examination methods. The treatment methods I have focused on were mobilization, technique of soft tissues, pro-prioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, physiotherapy and taping technique. Some forms of applications had a positive effect on the patients and brought improvement, the others showed no changes. In my opinion the individual elements should be combined and applied for a longer period of time and the anamnesis of the patient should be thoroughly discussed, to find out the main reasons of the origin. The patients learned a procedure during the therapy how to face correctly the origin of that problem and how to apply efficiently the preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of the problems. My work could be used for the purpose of studies of future physiotherapists, for the patients, or a source of information for public.
