Flat foot evaluation in older school-age children and proposal for an intervention programm
Havelková, Veronika ; Jandová, Soňa (advisor) ; Hájková, Jana (referee)
The bachelor's thesis is devoted to the issue of flat feet in children of older school-age. The aim of the work was to find out and evaluate the occurrence of this deformity in children and subsequently to create a proposal for an intervention programme that will be applicable in the teaching of Physical Education in schools. The research was carried out at Na Balabence Elementary School and 21 boys and 36 girls aged between 11 and 16 years old participated in it. We used the FootScan® tensometric plate (RSscan International, Belgium) to measure flat feet. The obtained results showed that 42.86 % of the boys have a normal foot condition, 52.38 % have flat feet and 4.76 % of the boys have a high foot. In girls, we measured 38.89 % with normal and 61.11 % with flat feet. According to next calculations, we found that there is no clearly demonstrable linear dependence between the occurrence of flat feet and the weight-height ratio. When compiling the exercises for the intervention programme, we used the knowledge obtained from the previous literature research. We chose exercises that are not demanding of technical performance due to the possibility of inclusion in physical education classes. Verification of its functionality will be the subject of the final thesis within the framework of the Master's study.

Blažek, Michal ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Šorfová, Monika (referee)
Title: Evaluation of functional biomechanical locomotion parameters depending on the performed amputation in LL Objectives: The goals of this thesis are the following: to compare asymmetry in step cycle time, pelvis, hip and knee movement and lower limb loading while walking, also to compare sagittal movement of pelvis while walking, postural stability in stance and subjective scoring of the functional skills and the quality of life in healthy controls, transfemoral and knee disarticulation amputees. Methods: 6 healthy controls and 3 amputees in each amputation group were included in this experiment. Qualisys motion capture system and Kistler force plates to collect objective data and specific sections of Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire for subjective scoring were used. The participants were observed while level walking forward and backward with self-selected speed and in a quiet stance with eyes either open or closed with narrow support base. Statistical analysis was carried out in Microsoft Excel. Results: In terms of asymmetry assessment of the selected ambulation parameters there were identified more symmetrical values in the knee disarticulation group in 63 % of 33 monitored parameters. However, statistical significance was exceeded only in a single parameter. Concerning pelvic movement in...

Vodičková, Jitka ; Ježková, Martina (advisor) ; Klimošová, Sylva (referee)
Bibliographical record VODIČKOVÁ, Jitka. The effect of Iyengar yoga practise on patients with multiple sclerosis. Prague: Charles University, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Department of Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, 2022. 220 p. Supervisor Mgr. Martina Ježková. Abstract This longitudinal clinical study examines the overall impact of Iyengar yoga practice on patients with multiple sclerosis rated 5.5-7.5 on the EDSS scale. The theoretical part outlines the issues of multiple sclerosis. Then the basic principles of yoga are introduced, and the various modifications of the postures used in yoga therapy in our study are described and illustrated. The paper outlines the mechanisms by which yoga can influence individual symptoms of multiple sclerosis. The practical part consists of case reports of five patients who attended Iyengar yoga sessions for three months and were followed up for a total of seven months. The aim was to clarify how the condition of patients with multiple sclerosis develops with the restriction or complete cessation of physical activity, what effect the practice of Iyengar yoga has on the patients and whether this effect persists for two months after the cessation of the practice. The second part focuses on the comparison of the change in the observed parameters in different patients with...
Flat feet occurrence in university students regarding to previous sports activities
Puchmertlová, Magdalena ; Jandová, Soňa (advisor) ; Janošková, Hana (referee)
The bachelor thesis addresses the topic of flatfoot in physical education students. The aim of the thesis was to find out whether the selected students' previous physical activity has an influence on the occurrence of flat feet. A questionnaire survey was conducted on a group of women (n=47) and men (n=24), with an average age of 22 ± 2 years, height of 1.72 ± 0.09 m, weight of 66 ± 12 kg and an average EU numbering foot size of 40 ± 2.5. A questionnaire survey was used to obtain data on previous and current sporting activity, the types of footwear used during training, the health status of the individual and the use of compensatory methods. Furthermore, we performed flatfoot measurements using the FootScan® strain gauge plate (RSscan International, Belgium). The results showed that 72.9 % of women had a normal foot, 22.9% had a flat foot and 4.2% had a high foot; in men, the percentage was 45 % with a normal foot, 50 % with a flat foot and 5 % with a high foot. Furthermore, the contact time of the studied groups did not change and differences were shown mainly in the percentage of loading in the different zones of the foot. The effect of previous sporting activity or weekly sporting load on the incidence of flatfoot was not statistically demonstrated. It will be appropriate to verify this in a...

Havrda, Prokop ; Bitnar, Petr (advisor) ; Katolický, Jakub (referee)
Chronic renal failure and dialysis treatment affect the musculoskeletal system and functional capacity patients. This work assesses the effect with a focus on changes in the structure and function of the foot. The theoretical part deals with the issue of chronic renal failure and dialysis treatment. It presents evidence of the influence of some internal diseases on the foot, in order to better understand the changes taking place in the examined probands. It describes pathological changes, that affect functional capacity of the examined probands. The practical part assesses the effect of chronic renal failure and dialysis treatment on the height of longitudinal foot arch, gait stereotype and postural stability of 30 patients from the dialysis center Fresenius Medical Care - DS, s.r.o. and FN Motol.

This bachelor thesis focuses in the theoretical background on research of an early adulthood, health definitions, health determinants and mostly on physical activity. It also brings a research of results from pedometer determined PA studies. The study assessed the PA of 39 female students of teaching for Primary School. The PA of the students was objectively monitored with the Yamax SW-700 pedometer. The INDARES.COM questionnaire was used to assess sport preferences.
Movement activity of vegetarian men
KUDRNOVÁ, Marie
The bachelor's thesis entitled Physical activity of vegetarian men consists of two parts. In the first, theoretical part, I discuss men, vegetarianism and physical activity. I focus on the concept of vegetarianism as such, the division of vegetarians, the motivation to become a vegetarian, the history of vegetarianism. In the next chapter I deal with a man, his personality, gender issue and in the third chapter I deal with physical activity. The aim of this work was to determine the level of physical activity in a specific group of men who can be described as vegetarians. Data on physical activity were obtained by questionnaires of physical activity IPAQ-long and weekly monitoring with a pedometer repeated two times. The results, which were measured and processed are compared with the results of measurements in an equally large group of men, but they eat in a conventional way. 34 men eating vegetarian and 34 men eating normally were contacted. Research has shown that vegetarian men have a lower BMI than non-vegetarian men, but no significantly higher levels of physical activity have been demonstrated.
Flat feet occurrence in a younger school age
Husovská, Andrea ; Jandová, Soňa (advisor) ; Janošková, Hana (referee)
The following bachelor thesis deals with the issue of flat feet in children of younger school age. Nowadays, flat feet happen to be the most common deformity in children which may be diagnosed by using several methods. One of them is the indexing method which counts the size (toes not included) and the width of the foot in the 5th base metatarsus area. Some systems are able to evaluate a specific type of foot using a particular software. This thesis aims to observe one specific type of foot among a selected group of younger school-aged children. Using a pressure platform, this thesis deals with finding out the percentage occurrence of flat feet. The thesis also focuses on the relationship between the prevalence of flatfoot and BMI. In order to collect the data, Footscan (RS Scan, Belgium) was used. The measuring was undertaken by 32 third grade children from an elementary school in Brandýs (N = 32, age = 9,66 ± 0,68; weight = 32,55± 8,29 kg; height = 137,09 ± 8,05; BMI = 17,02 ± 3,58). The children were divided into three groups according to their foot deformities (natural, flat, high arch). Out of the whole group, there were 13 children (40,6 %) with normal feet, 16 children with flat feet (50 %), and 3 children with a high arch (9,4 %). Thanks to statistical methods, we observed the correlation...

Bočková, Barbora ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Satrapová, Lenka (referee)
Title The effect of wearing high heel shoes on pelvis motion Aim of the thesis The main aim of this thesis is the verification of the influence of wearing high heel shoes on pelvis motion in the sagittal plane, while walking on high heel shoes and walking on heel less shoes. After then, we want to monitori the impact of walking in these shoes on the trajectory of pelvis motion. Methods Objectification method was 3D record of human gait (= kinematic analysis), which was performed using the Qualisys Track Manager. In our thesis we used the method of comparison. The aim of the study is the comparison of parameters measured in different types of shoes (high heeled shoes, high heeled less shoes with barefoot gait) and the influence on pelvis motion in the sagittal plane. Measurements were carried out in the gym at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at ten probands. Results Pelvis tilt to retroversion was more significant when walking on heel less shoes compared with high heel shoes and barefooted walking, also an angle of the trunk and pelvis were most significantly diminished when walking on heel less shoes compared to barefooted walking and high heel shoes. Objectively, a larger deflection of pelvis trajectory while walking on high heel shoes was not confirmed compared to walking on heel less...
