Slackline as a therapeutic possibility to influence postural stability
Komárková, Klára ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Mariana (referee)
Objectives: To summarize knowledge about a control of posture, a balance training and a testing on balance platform. I investigate in experimental part of my thesis if slackline training will affect stabilography and differences in quantitative parameters will be found in a training group or a control group. Hypothesis: A specific slackline training positively affects stability which was measured in posturographic selected tests done by the training group. Methods: We test postural stability in control (10 persons) and training (10 persons) group in selected tests of stability. We used a balance platform for testing. The data were statistically analysed. Results: 4 weeks of intense slackline training result in improvement of postural control. That is support by the data of stabilometric examination. The results were just below statistical significance (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The results testify that slacklining can improve postural control in healthy subjects. The results were on the boundary of statistical significance in our intervention group.

Kalitová, Petra ; Langmeier, Miloš (advisor) ; Šlapák, Ivo (referee) ; Kozler, Petr (referee)
Summary: The aim of our study was diagnosis and rehabilitation of vestibular loss in patients with vestibular schwannoma. In the first part we focused on analysis of a group of patients before resection of vestibular schwannoma, mainly on evaluation of gain of posturography and on optimalisation of diagnostic algorithm of vestibular pathology. Throughout the second experiment, we studied if rehabilitation of postural gait with visual biofeedback will speed up vestibular compensation in patients after resection of vestibular schwannoma. The group consisted of 44 patients, who underwent surgical removal of vestibular schwannoma. Before surgery each patient underwent clinical vestibular examination, electronystagmographic recordings and posturography. In the second part of the study 17 patients from previous group were chosen. These patients underwent rehabilitation and rehabilitation with biofeedback. For evaluation was used independent samples T-test and cross-tabulation. A great number of variables were reduced by factor analysis. For statistical analysis of the group with rehabilitation was used nonparametric Wilcoxon signed rank test. Statistical analysis revealed that the most typical parameter for vestibular pathology is the time of the step quick turn test, which is a part of posturography. We proved...

Effect of deep foot massage on postural stability in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia
Hlaváčková, Tereza ; Pospíšilová, Mariana (advisor) ; Čech, Zdeněk (referee)
Introduction: Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is currently defined as a group of diseases with progressive cerebellar syndrome, which manifests distinctively by ataxic stance and gait. In patients with SCA, deterioration of postural control occurs due to changes of pathophysiological degenerative nervous system. Control of postural stability is significantly influenced by somatosensory afferentation of soft tissue of foot. The work objective is to determine the effect of deep foot massage on postural stability in the group of patients and to compare obtained results with experiments without deep foot massage. Methods: Seven patients of the Clinic Rehabilitation at the Faculty Hospital, Prague Motol (average age 51.9 ± 13.9 years, 5 men, and 2 women) with SCA and clinical signs of cerebellar ataxia were participated in this study. All patients were examined using posturography before and after application of deep foot massage. Measurements were conducted on a firm surface, foam pad with open and closed eyes. Length of COP trajectory, COP area and COP velocity were measured. Results: Significantly lower values of the length and COP velocity were found on the foam pad with closed eyes, when the deep foot massage was applied. Experiments without applications of the deep foot massage did not show any...

Coufalová, Klára ; Heller, Jan (advisor) ; Harsa, Pavel (referee) ; Vomela, Jindřich (referee)
Title: Physical profile of judo athletes and its changes due to body weight reduction Aim of work: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of intensive pre-competitive body weight reduction on body composition, anthropometric parameters, postural stability, reaction time, maximal isometric muscle strength and biochemical parameters in the blood of elite judo athletes. Methods: The work compares the results of laboratory testing at the beginning and at the end of body weight reduction. Nine male judo athletes (age 22.3 ± 2.4 years) from the Czech national team participated in the research. For laboratory testing we used bioelectrical impedance analyser InBody 720, anthropometric equipment, pressure plate FootScan, dynamometer and apparatus for measuring reaction times of Biomedical laboratory UK FTVS and equipment for the collection of capillary and venous blood. We created a survey to gather more information about pre-competitive weight loss, attended by 53 competitors (37 men and 16 women, mean age 23.7 ± 3.2 years) who practise judo, wrestling Greco-Roman and freestyle, boxing, kickboxing, thaibox, taekwondo or karate. Results: We found a statistically significant (p<0.01) reduction of body weight, average weight loss was 4.6 % (on average 3.4 ± 1.6 kg). This reduction was reflected in...

Options of using physiotherapy at patients with amputation of their lower limb
ROŽNOVJÁKOVÁ, Tereza
This bachelor deals with the possibilities of the use of physiotherapy at patients with amputation of the leg. The loss of the lower limb has a major influence on change in postural stability. Despite the prosthetic equipment patient has impaired proprioception, which is reflected to the pathological walk with compensatory mechanism. We are trying to return a person to normal life with minimal disabilities using specific physiotherapy methods with adequate training and stability. In the theoretical part there is a summary description of amputation and its influence on postural stability, further I deal with protetics options, where I am closely describing the use of functional and posturograf tests. In the end I deal with physiotherapeutics prosthetic equipment and methods applied in practice. The aim of the practical part is to assess the changes in postural stability with the use of the instruments with a biological feedback and to map out the qualitative and quantitative parameters of walking of patients with lower limb amputations. For the practical part have been selected qualitative research, which includes case reports of two patients with transfemoral amputations and one transtibial of the lower limb. Both input and output examination includes a complete analysis of kinesiologic, functional tests with posturography examination of postural stability. Each patient attended 10 individual therapies to increase the stability. The results were compared between input and output of tests. All patient's postural stability has been positively affected with a slight improvement in posture. Despite the regular therapy we didn't suceed to change the pathological components. This state can be caused by the prothesis, which was by all patients described as unsatisfing. Bachelor thesis may be used by students of physiotherapy for extension of their knowledge, or they can apply the knowledge during their practice. It can also be used as educational material for patients who are interested in the issue.

Influence of deep brain stimulation on postural stability in patients with Parkinson disease
Zelenková, Jana ; Kobesová, Alena (advisor) ; Zárubová, Kateřina (referee)
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease of the basal ganglia. Its main symptoms are rigidity, tremor, bradykinesia, hypokinesia and postural instability. One possible way how to infuence diseases is neurosurgical treatment - deep brain stimulation. The principle is the implantation of electrodes in the basal ganglia and modulation of activity of the basal ganglia circuits due to electrical stimulation. Stimulation affects the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. This thesis deals with the influence of deep brain stimulation on postural stability in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Prokůpková, Eva ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Černý, Rudolf (referee)
The Diploma thesis titled "Using biofeedback for patients with non-specific low back pain" in theoretic part gives basic information about motor learning, biofeedback, low back pain and postural stability. In the research part, it deals with influence of postural stability- focused therapy (performed on Nintendo Wii Fit Plus device) on low back pain and postural stability. The work also deals with influence of added feedback on reduction low back pain, postural stability and realizing intrinsic feedback. We demonstrate that this therapy reduced low back pain but has no significant influence on postural stability. We also demonstrate that added feedback has positive effect on persistence of pain and affective part of the Short Form of McGill Pain Questionary, but it does not influence postural stability. On the contrary, absence of added feedback significantly influenced the postural stability. The added feedback does not influence awareness intrinsic feedback.
