Kramperová, Adéla ; Urbářová, Eliška (advisor) ; Čakrt, Ondřej (referee)
The bachelor thesis evaluates comparison of selected functional and computer methods for testing stability. It is focused on finding a correlation between tests and comparisons in terms of time and space demands, equipment requirements, difficulty of performance and overall usability in practice for female floorball players. The theoretical part describes the problematics of postural stability in floorball. In the first part there is a summary of professional terms related to the term of stability in physiotherapy. Furthermore, the specifics of floorball are described with a focus on the relation of injury and stability in this sport and there is also a summary of possibilities of testing static and dynamic stability, without the use of computer methods as well as with their use. Methodology: A total of 40 players of the highest floorball (women's or junior's) competition took part in the research. For comparison, results from 31 probands were used. The average age of the involved players was 22 years (± 2.4). The participants underwent a total of three tests of stability, two of them were measured on a force plate (mCTSIB - Modified clinical test of sensory interaction on balance, US - Unilateral stance test) and one was a functional test (SEBT - Star excursion balance test). Results: The work did...

The relationship between postural stability and physical activities
Gryc, Tomáš ; Zahálka, František (advisor) ; Janura, Miroslav (referee)
In the study "The relationship between postural stability and physical activities", we focused on determining the level of postural stability and the possibility of influencing by appropriate means of exercise intervention in people with increased physical activity and persons with physical limitations. Persons with increased physical activity were top players and players competing in various sports (football, handball, volleyball, golf) and those with physical limitations, patients suffering from diseases that have a negative impact on postural stability (Friedrich's ataxia, autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia, Charlot-Marie- Tooth). Upright posture in stance and movement is a fundamental prerequisite for human bipedal locomotion. Postural stability is the ability to maintain an upright posture, which advises the motor and coordination skills, and its meaning is close to equilibrium abilities. Maintaining an upright posture is ensured by muscle activity, which is controlled by the central nervous system based on information from internal and external environment. Control of postural stability is the primary prerequisite for successful movement and as such it can be developed on the basis of appropriate physical activities. All methods of measuring static and dynamic postural stability can be...

Title: Postural Stability in Adults with Down Syndrome Objectives: The goal of the thesis was to compare postural stability in individuals with Down syndrome and the control group comprising of healthy individuals, and to compare postural stability in adult men with Down syndrome and adult women with Down syndrome. Methods: The empirical part of the thesis was based on data collected from a pressure sensing platform MobileMat 3140 by Tekscan. The study was made up of 52 probands (30 men and 22 women). The probands were separated into the experimental and the control group based on their Down syndrome diagnosis. The experimental group consisted of 11 men and 15 women, with the average age being 38,4 ± 8,7 years, the average height 156 ± 7,2 cm, and the average weight 75,1 ± 16,2 kg. Similarly, the control group consisted of 11 men and 15 women, with the average age being 38,8 ± 9,2 years, the average height 175 ± 10,1 cm, and the average weight 78,9 ± 14,5 kg. The participants were measured in four modifications of the bipedal stance: wide base of support with the eyes open; wide base of support with the eyes closed; narrow base of support with the eyes open; narrow base of support with the eyes closed. Each measuring session took 30 seconds. Results: Six parameters of postural stability were...

The assessment of the compensation of stabilometric parameters in patients after vestibular schwannoma surgery
Kozlová, Eva ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Hrubá, Silvie (referee)
In this thesis, we have been dealing with the evaluation of progressing of the postural stability in the patients after the operation of the vestibular schwannoma (VS). The stability was evaluated by means of stabilometric parameters (COP trajectory length, COP confidence ellipse area). We measured the development of the parameters before operation, immediately after resection and before the discharge. The set contained 17 patients (n = 17). The level of static importance we determined p ≤ 0,05. We found a statistically significant difference between the measurement before the operation and the measurement immediately after the operation (COP confidence ellipse area: p = 0,0183, COP trajectory length: p = 0,0355). On the other hand, the change in both parameters in the measurement before the discharge and the testing after the resection wasn't statistically significant (COP confidence ellipse area: p = 0,4081, COP trajectory length: p = 0,9991). Our next goal was to find out if the stability fault correlates with the disorder of function VOR. We testing the function of t-VOR by the subjective visual vertical (SVV) (n = 24), the function of the r-VOR by the dynamic visual acuity (DVA) (n = 28) and the caloric test (n = 21). We found a statistically significant correlation of both stabilometric...

Postural physiotherapy concentrated at axial stabilization of actively sporting children on a competitive level
MAŠEK, Dominik
This work is focused on the topic of stability of the axial system at actively sporting children on the competition level. In the theoretical part I write about basic knowledge about the postural system and deep stabilization system. The practical part of my thesis is processed as a qualitative research comprising input and output kinesiology analysis and input and output posturographic examination. The research took place at the Uran office at the University of South Bohemia, České Budějovice. The research sample was consisted of five actively sporting pediatric patients (two boys and three girls) aged 6 to 11 years. Three patients (two girls and a boy) do gymnastics and two patients (a girl and a boy) do the Korean martial art called Taekwondo. Therapy contained eight treatments lasting 15-20 minutes. Rehabilitation therapy included posturograph with NeuroCom Balance Manager system. Another three exercises were practiced individually at home. The aim of this work was to improve the axial stabilization using therapeutic programs and additional exercises and then subsequent evaluation of the results of these eight treatments. Here I follow the idea, that even short exercising of deep stabilizing deep system during training can lead to an overall improvement in the stabilization of the body, reducing the level of hazing superficial muscles and preventing the occurrence of clinical symptoms and complications, that are common in modern society, such as back pain, prolapsed intervertebral discs, etc. Results obtained by therapy proved that patients' axial stability and overall posture im-proved after eight therapies. This thesis may serve as a resource not only for health care workers, but also for the general public and sports coaches.

Bibliographic identification Author's first name and surname: Bc. et Bc. Kateřina Levínská Title of the master thesis: Effect of various types of sensory and cognitive dual-tasking in high performance athlete's stance stability Department: Department of Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, 2nd faculty of medicine, Charles University and FN Motol Supervisor: PhDr. Ondřej Čakrt, Ph.D. The year of presentation: 2017 Abstract: This study focused on the influence of various types of cognitive and sensory dual- tasking to the stability of stance of the elite floorball players, elite floorbal players with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and healthy controls. A total of forty probands were divided into 3 groups according to the sports activity and the history of ACL injuries. Volunteers underwent examination of bipedal and monopedal standing on a stabilometric platform using a foam pad. We chose three types of secondary task, which we tested first at probands in a sitting position. Subsequently, we combined them with a bipedal and monopedal stance on a foam mat. In secondary tests, latency of response and error rate were measured. Our results show that the combination of a postural challenging situation with a secondary task significantly more affects performance in the sensory-cognitive task than the...
