The Physical activity in vegetarian women
KOVAŘÍKOVÁ, Štěpánka
The thesis titled The Physical activity in vegetarian women consists of two parts. The first, theoretical part is devoted mainly vegetarianism as such. There clarify the concept of vegetarianism, its distribution and nutritional aspects of a vegetarian diet with regular physical activity. Further topics are about physical activity recommendations for adults in the Czech Republic and in the global context. There are also benefits of human walk. The second part of the thesis deals with research of the issue. There is solved the question of vegetarianism and its potential impact on increasing the level of physical activity among women. To find answers was elected the research group of thirty vegetarian women and a control group of thirty women eating in the usual way in a similar age variance. Comparison of these two specific groups of women took place within the gained data from an international survey of PA IPAQ-long and weekly monitoring using pedometers six months in repetition. Based on the results wasn´t recorded demonstrable evidence that vegetarianism affecting the increase in the physical activity compared with the population eating in the conventional way.

Fall prevention and affecting the quality of gait among the elderly by increasing the afferent signals from the foot
PETRŮ, Ivana
This thesis examines the influence of afferent information coming from the feet to the quality of walking. Bipedal locomotion is a movement that follows people since the first year of life. In childhood, it is a sign of our progressive growth and maturation of the nervous system and in old age it is similar. Often it is the walk that determines the ability of seniors to take care of themselves. With age, it is physiological that the walk changes. Whether it is depending on the diseases, which in elderly age often merge into chronicity, or for example pathological patterns of movement which the body can not compensate so well anymore. Impaired mobility, which goes hand in hand with walking, brings the risk of falling. Fall is one of the most serious injuries for seniors and its consequences can seriously jeopardize self-sufficiency and mobility of seniors. The risk of falling appears just for older people who are no longer able to adapt quickly to changes. The foot is a significant part of the stabilization system of the body. It mediates the first contact with the pad and informs us about its properties. This information is then transmitted to the upper decks of the central nervous system, which then better adapts movement to the pad surface. The amount of afferent information depends on many factors. The most important is the shoe that absorbs a large amount of afferent information from the foot and feet can not fully perform their function of gathering the information. In the theoretical part of my thesis, I discussed changes in physiological, social and psychological, the person goes through the aging process. Then I dealt with falls and their causes, consequences and prevention. In the third chapter I worked sole topic, its construction and the most frequent pathology. And in the last part I focused on walking, its development stages, types, and how should ideally look like. The aim of my thesis is to evaluate how much influence will stimulating the soles of the feet have for walking. Stimulation soles lasted for three months in the form of soft technology and mobilization leg joints, hardening feet hot and cold water, skin stimulation (sifting through the legs in a container with legumes), practicing active (small) foot and eventually coaching momentum and coordination feet by painting or writing with feet (pencil between 1st and 2nd finger). Another aim of my thesis is to identify preventive measures against falling for individual seniors. For this it is necessary to focus on the weaknesses of the individual and to assess its risk of falling. Long-term therapy should be designed so that it is manageable for seniors with regard to his health and ability. In the practical part was used qualitative research. As data acquisition techniques were used anamnesis, kinesiology analysis, examination of walking, fine motor skills and foot examinations of perception. Research was attended by four seniors, three women and one man in age ranges 70-80 years. Therapy carried every week for three months, in the end each proband completed twelve therapies. Each therapy lasted about 30-45 minutes. The results show that it has improved balance especially when standing. Patients gain more stability, two at Romberg III lost titubation and their endurance during solo standing increased. The walk improved, especially in the coordination. In unison, all patients improved fine motor skills of their feet. At the initial examination, only one patient managed to pick up a pen with both feet. At the output, all patients managet it. This work can be used by physiotherapists and other health professionals in nursing homes and similar facilities. It can also be used to increase brand awareness of senior's family members or as injury prevention in the home environment.

Shoes and its effect on the foot and posture
KRÁSNÁ, Jana
This thesis in focused on the influence of footwear not only directly on the foot and its sole but also on the posture and body as a whole. The foot is firstly the organ that enables movement of the locomotive system but which also provides direct contact with the surroundings and the way of getting information about it through proprioception. The foot also enables "keeping" to the ground we move on. It is connected through the muscle system with the levels above and so mutual influence of all body segments is established. The posture of lumbar spine, the function of the diaphragm, posture of the cervical spine and of the shoulder joints are the most important. Due to the fact that we spend two thirds of the day, or 16 hours a day, wearing shoes, their influence cannot be insignificant. Most types of shoes hinder the above mentioned functions of the feet through their faulty construction and their influence can be described more as that of a splint. Wearing some shoes can bring completely unnatural or even pathological foot posture which through the muscle systems further influences faulty posture of higher body segments. Data for this research were obtained using qualitative research with 12 students of the University of South Bohemia participating. The research group was divided into three categories by the type of worn footwear (naked, sport and healed footwear respectively). Subjective examination of the standing posture as well as examination using a lead was conducted. The walking gait was examined first barefoot, then in normal wear and finally on narrowed base. Finally the examination of the foot was performed where activity and function was tested using the Véle method, further the toe abduction and the grip tests. The aim of this research was to map the influences of wearing the different types of shoes on the body as a whole. The results show that a foot capable of full activity and function is closely connected to the correct activity of the diaphragm. On the contrary, with pathological function of the foot the function of the higher body segments will be influenced negatively. The foot is therefore concluded to play a major role in the function of the locomotive system and should always be taken into account in physiotherapy.

Physiotherapy in children and youth with poor posture and flat
SLAVÍČKOVÁ, Zuzana
Body posture is the picture of the life attitude. Therefore, an incorrect body posture is the speech of the body that is frequently the first one to warn us against future health troubles. There are a large number of causes of the incorrect body posture. It may be for instance stress, lack of movement, but also various deformities of legs. In my thesis I chose the pes planovagus as a possible diagnosis. Pes planovalgus, or flat foot, is one of the most frequent diagnoses occurring in the orthopaedic practice. This happens despite the fact that almost 99 per cent of children are born with healthy feet. Almost a third of these children come to the first class with feet damaged in various ways as a result of a bad life style. The objective of this thesis, in the theoretical part, was to process up-to-date information related to the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in children suffering from pes planovalgus. In the practical part, I focused on drawing up the casuistry of patients with this diagnosis. The theoretical part describes the actual disease, its clinical demonstrations, causes of origin and especially its impact. Emphasis was put on prevention of this deformity and related consequences. The theoretical part explains key words associated with this thesis: functional muscle chains, gait, arch of the foot, foot, pes planovalgus, prevention, rehabilitation. Qualitative research method - case study was used for the practical part of the bachelor thesis. The research was conducted in the rehabilitation department of the District Hospital in Tábor, a.s. The tested set was made up of two testees with the flat foot diagnosis with the valgus position of the foot and incorrect body posture. Neither of the two testees was diagnosed as having a neurologic or eye illness. The objective of the research was to find out the influence of the pes planovalgus on the overall body posture and possibilities of influencing it. The results are drawn up in the form of casuistry. In the patients observed, the body posture, gait mechanism and, in general, the function of the foot improved. Both patients stated that pains have disappeared and the performance of the feet, especially in sports, has improved. The thesis contains a proposal of effective therapy of pes planovalgus at the child age, which may be beneficial for physiotherapists working with child patients. Further, the thesis may be used for the education of college students studying medicine branches, or it may serve as a source of information for the general public.
