Hlobilová, Magdaléna ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
Title: Ranges of joint mobility in the hip and ankle joints and evaluation of flat feet on a podoscope when finding hallux valgus in classical ballet dancers Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to evaluate if selected parameters: passive range of motion (ROM) of rotations in hip joints, Q angle, passive range of motion of plantar flexion in ankle joints and the foot index are connected with the finding of hallux valgus (HV) diagnose. These factors will be compared between two groups of ballet dancers, one with HV and one without the HV diagnose. Methods: This observational case control study involved 30 probands between the age of 20-40 years. The experimental group consisted of classical ballet dances with the HV angle (HVA) >15ř at least on one foot (n1 = 19), in the control group were classical ballet dancers with the HVA <15ř bilaterally (n2 = 11). The HVA, ROM of the rotations in the hip joints, ROM of the plantar flexion in the ankle joints and Q angle were measured by a goniometer. The plantogram was captured by a photograph of the foot while standing on a podoscope and then it was evaluated by the Sztriter-Godunov method. Analysis of the data was done in R software by means of a Welch's Two-Sample t-Test and the correlation was given by Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. Results: Contrary...

Zimová, Barbora ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
Author: Bc. Barbora Zimová Title: The influence of foot position on the size of the Q angle in patients with painful knee joint syndromes Objectives: This master thesis aims to assess the effect of the foot on the position of the knee joint, particularly whether the degree of flat-footedness affects the Q angle and whether an active foot correction can change this angle. Furthermore, this thesis aims to compare whether painful knee joint syndromes affect these parameters in any way. Methods: A group of 40 probands with a total average age of 27 years and a unilateral painful knee joint syndrome, at least 6 months apart from incidental injuries/surgeries, underwent a complex clinical examination with a focus on the researched aspects associated with knee joint problems. This was followed by the making of a plantogram - - an examination of the pressure distribution of the foot by a machine from the company Pedikom, taking a photograph to evaluate the Q angle and the orientation of the talus position, complementing the qualitative evaluation of the sole image. An active correction of the foot position was then performed along with a simple exercise to support the longitudinal arch of the foot by activating the myofascial chains associated with it. The two examinations were then repeated. The...
Correction of flatheads on the example of child ice hockey
Wied, Klára ; Čichoň, Rostislav (advisor) ; Půlpán, Rudolf (referee)
Title: Correction of flat- bed on example of children's ice hockey Objectives: The aim of this work is to determine whether and how the flat-foot affects the performance of the individual (speed and style of skating) and how the correction works (application of thermoplastic insole and tape). The issue of flat feet in sports can be related to other issues of the musculoskeletal system and the associated injuries. Therefore, if the correction proves that has a positive effect, it will prevent further damage during the load in this sport. Methods: It is going to be an empirical-theoretical study with an experiment. The probands (research participants) will be first examined on a podoscope. During the examination, photo documentation of the dorsal foot load with focus on the Achilles tendon line will be taken. In addition, will be made to plantogram to each participant, followed by a diagnosis of flat feet. Finally, I will examine the foot pressure load with an F-scan in regular shoes, ice skates and ice skates with a correction aid (tape). Subsequently, I compare the load rate without and with the correction aid in the ice skate, and assess whether and how (with respect to performance) the correction aid aids in optimum foot pressure distribution or increase individual performance. Results: I found...
Indications of thermoplastic insoles for younger school-age children
JIRÁŇOVÁ, Barbora
In this bachelor work I deal with Indication of thermoplastic shoe soles in children of younger school age. In the theoretic part I describe kinesiology and the most common defects of the foot, walking, proper body posture and its possible deviations, appropriate footwear for children and thermoplastic soles Formthotics. The practical part of the thesis consists of qualitative research, which was created on the basis of entry and exit examination. A total of ten subjects were included in the research (6 boys and 4 girls under 12 years of age). During the initial examination, the soles were simultaneously individually adjusted, and the final examination was performed after three months of use. The aim of this work was to map the most common indications of individually modified prefabricated shoe soles in children of younger school age and to evaluate the change of posture on the basis of comparison of entry and exit examination after three months of their use. The most common indications included flexibly flat foot and poor posture. At this time, the prevalence of poor posture in children and adults is increasing. There are many factors that can cause wrong body posture. The decrease of all-round movement and non-ideal psychomotor development in children is said to be a common reason for the creation of wrong body posture. From a physiotherapy perspective, it would be best to prevent wrong body posture with targeted exercises; however, children at this age are difficult to motivate to exercise. Therefore, one of the possible remedies we can use is individual soft shoe soles. After three months of use of soles, a improvement in position of ankle and knee joints axis and walking stereotype occurred in most subjects. In some subjects, an betterment of their flattened feet and the posture of their body was registered. However, active exercises would be needed to strengthen weakened muscle groups. Therefore, I created educational material that contains several exercises to supplement therapy. This work can be used by parents of children with wrong body posture or flat foot and physiotherapy students.
Selected characteristics of the mobility for children 3-10 years of age
IRA, Aneta
The aim of the thesis is the evaluation of spinal mobility, flat feet survey and basic anthropological features of girls and boys at the age of 3, 5, 7 and 10. Based on collected data, the thesis tries to make relevant conclusions and give recommendations, which can be subsequently used by nursery and primary school teachers, pediatrists, physiotherapists, as well as parents dealing with their children of the age mentioned above. The survey results of big interest are cervical spine mobility decrease observed in older childern (10 years old) and tested by Čepoj's symptom functional test, with age deteriorating average mobility range observed in boys and tested by a modified Thomayer's symptom, affirmation of one of secular acceleration theories, and lower spinal mobility range observed in girls of pre-school age compared to boys of the same age.

The effect of kinesiotaping for flat foot correction in association with selected parameters of gait for a specific group of people
Michalcová, Eliška ; Zahálka, František (advisor) ; Heller, Jan (referee)
Title: The effect of kinesiotaping for flat foot correction in association with selected parameters of gait for a specific group of people Objectives: The primary objective of this experiment was to determine whether and to what extent the application of kinesio tape to flat foot (utilising a functional correction technique) can influence the positioning of the specific segments of the body and thereby implement change to walking stereotype. Methods: Biomechanical measurement of the gait of eleven specifically selected people with the clinical symptoms of flat foot was implemented. First we recorded measurements prior to the intervention and then again, subsequent to the application of kinesio tape for a defined period. Probands retained the tape in place for the following four days and then the measuring was repeated both prior and subsequent to the removal of the tape. To determine any potential changes to the statics, initially the measuring of the postural stability prior to the intervention was first implemented in the experiment and subsequently again when the kinesio tape was removed after it had been worn for four days. This measurement was carried out using the Footscan apparatus (RSscan International, Belgium) and any potential differences in six variant modes of posture were determined....
