KUBÁTOVÁ, Jaroslava
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of Equine assisted activities and therapies in social services in the Vysočina Region. The theme is up to date given by the growing interest in Equine assisted activities and therapies. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis is focused on questions related to hiporehabilitation and more specifically on the field of Equine assisted activities and therapies (EAAT). The first chapter deals with zootherapy in general and furthermore with zooterapeutical methods. In the next chapter is described the hiporehabilitation, its structure, history and the organizations that deal with it, both abroad and in the Czech Republic. The last chapter gives a definition of the term Equine assisted activities and therapies (EAAT), the target group, the indications and contraindications, the goals or effects of EAAT. Furthermore, this chapter contains the composition of the team for EAAT, hiporehabilitation horse, the therapeutic plan of the client, techniques and methods in EAAT ad. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to map the possibilities and limits of Equine assisted activities and therapies, which are provided in social services as part of hiporehabilitation. The partial aim was to find out indications, goals, contraindications, method of work, methods and techniques used, benefit, involvement of a social worker in EAAT. A qualitative research strategy was chosen. Polling method and semi-standardized interview technique were used. The sample was made up of four parents of clients with a health, mental or combined disability who are clients of the organization AMBRA Association. This sample was also supplemented by a social worker who regularly takes part in Equine assisted activities and therapies. The informants were selected by a dedicated quota sampling. The research was carried out at the AMBRA Association in Černá in the Vysocina Region. Through qualitative research, the main and partial research questions were answered. Most surprising were the results regarding the contribution of Equine assisted activities and therapies. The benefit of EAAT is significant in the area of self-confidence or self-assurance of the client. Positive results are also in terms of motivation, communication, improvement also occurs in behavioral or social competencies. Regarding field of fine and gross motor skills, interesting results have also emerged. Parents of clients also welcome cooperation with a social worker. The results also show that client's parents would appreciate the introduction of a new service, namely therapeutic carriage driving. Therapeutic carriage driving is suitable for clients who can not ride or sit on horseback due to higher weight or health complications. The bachelor thesis also includes a SWOT analysis, which provides interesting information about operation of the organization AMBRA Association.

Hippotherapy as an effective healing method for scoliosis
LIŠKOVÁ, Andrea
The bachelor thesis deals with hippotherapy as supportive therapy for patients with scoliosis. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part is divided into two chapters, first addresses hippotherapy and the second scoliosis. The chapters explain the basic concepts necessary to get familiar with the given issue. In the subchapters of the first chapter I deal with the composition of the hippotherapeutic team, course of hippotherapy in general, positioning, indications, contraindications and with the treatment principle. In the chapter scoliosis I describe the basic terminology and the classification of scoliosis, the risk factors, therapy and therapeutical approaches. In the practical part, I introduce the aims of the work and the research itself. This part is elaborated through a qualitative survey - case study, mixed research. The research is carried out in the form of case studies of three probands with diagnosed scoliosis. Probands visited once a week the farm called "U Lištičky" in Úlehle, where they practiced hippotherapy. Each proband passed 12 hippotherapeutic units. The method of data acquisition was kinesiological analysis (on entry and exit), systematic observation and an interview. The work includes initial examination, evaluation of the initial examination, individual therapy, concluding examination, evaluation of the concluding examination and of the therapy. The individual case reports are supplemented with photo-documentation from the entrance and concluding examinations, from the course of the hippotherapeutic units and the results tables. Methods used for data collection were the following: anamnesis, aspects, pelvic examination, Adams test, plummetal examination, spinal function tests, hypermobility examination, muscle examination, two-scale stand test, Véle test, trigonometric examination, anthropometric examination, movement stereotypes and neurological examination. The aim of the work was to map out the effects of hippotherapy as a supportive treatment for scoliosis and to evaluate the results before and after the influence of hippotherapy on probands with scoliosis. The results of all three probands confirmed, that due to hippotherapy, there was a reduction in asymmetry, improvement in posture, pelvic anteversion, increased muscle strength, improvement of movement stereotypes, influencing breathing functions and stability of sitting on the horse's back. The influence of hippotherapy was demonstrated also in some functional tests and in the plumbing examination. At the same time, despite their initial concerns, the psyche of all probands was positively influenced and their relationship to the animals was deepen. Based on the evaluation of the results that were recorded, I would like to state, that hippotherapy as a supportive treatment of people with scoliosis is beneficial. The outcomes of this bachelor thesis could be used in practice as well as educational material for students of physiotherapy, therapists themselves, or as a basis for further research in this field. This work is the result of an effort to deepen the awareness of Hippotherapy as a supportive method for the treatment of scoliosis, both in professional and amateur audiences, and to point out the positive effects of hippotherapy on humans.
