Islami, Timur ; Tlapáková, Eva (advisor) ; Šorfová, Monika (referee)
Title: Biomechanical analysis of causes of serious injuries of the cervical spine in traffic accidents Objectives: The aim of the bachelor thesis is to deepen the knowledge about mechanism of cerval spine injury in traffic accidents, focusing on injuries to the cervical spine of drivers and passengers in a moving car. Methods: The thesis was a method of literary research from domestic and foreign sources. To meet the objectives that have been provided, it would help to clarify the issue of cervical injury in road accidents. Results: The literature collected has shown that cervical spine injuries are often a neglected topic. At the same time, it is often not stated that the consequences of road accidents do not end on the road, but their impact is usually a heavy burden on society due to the financial cost of injuries. Proper use of seat belts and head restraints is also important. Last but not least, knowledge of this issue can help car manufacturers to create ever better safety features. Keywords: car collision, cerval spine, biomechanics of injury, whiplash

Physiotherapy of patients with migraine headaches simultaneously used changes in sleeping positions
CHLUBNOVÁ, Hana
This bachelor thesis deals with physiotherapy in patients with migraine headaches while using a change of a sleeping position. The first part describes functional anatomy of the cervical spine, clinical picture, types, phases, triggering factors and treatment of migraine followed by description of basic sleeping positions. The aim of the theoretical part of the thesis was to describe the clinical picture of migraine, types of migraine and its treatment, including the possibilities of physiotherapy of migraine pain. The practical part of the thesis, which was done in a form of qualitative research, can be found in the second part of the work. The examined group consists of four respondents - three patients, namely two women and one male are patients from rehabilitation center in Borovany and one woman is a patient from rehabilitation center in Žďár nad Sázavou. The semi-structured interview, observation and subjective perceptions of patients were used as the methods to collect the data. The main aim of this work was to map possibilities of physiotherapy treatment in patient with migraine headaches. Further objective was to assess the effect of physiotherapy with simultaneous change of the sleeping position. Eight therapies were completed by each patient. After the fourth session, i.e. exactly in the half of the whole therapy process, the planed change in the sleeping position was implemented. The results were assessed on the basis of kinesiology carried out before the start and after the end of the whole therapy. As patients had been aware of the severity of migraine pain, the current state was improved and the migraine occurrence frequency decreased in all cases. They all understood that doing exercise at home is crucial for positive results of therapies and decrease in number of migraine attacks. Not only exercising but also ergonomics of the movement in work environment influenced results of the therapy. No rapid changes occurred after the change of the sleeping position, which may be caused by just the short-term change in the sleeping position. However, it can be concluded that regular exercise improves function of the cervical spine and lowers the number of migraine incidence. The change in the sleeping position is considered only as an accompanying preventive factor.

Use of the craniosacral therapy on cervical spine
DOLEŽAL, Karel
As a topic of my bachelor thesis, I chose the use of craniosacral cervical spine therapy. I chose the theme for this reason because I am interested in it and it is a topic which is relatively unknown among students of physiotherapy. Cervical spine problems can be caused from many reasons. Like a poor head position during sitting on a computer, in a car or in a bad sitting, resulting in overloading the muscles and cervical spine. Another difficulty is the upper cross syndrome, which is caused by muscle dysbalance in this area. It is an imbalance between the side and front muscles of the neck or the imbalance between the shoulder and the mammary muscles. A major problem of many people is that they have headin a wrong position during sleep and their head isn t in the extensio of the spine. The muscles in this position try to keep the head in a physiological position with the help of the muscular tension, and after falling asleep the muscle tension release and the head drops. Frequent overloading can cause trigger points. Further, between the problems of the cervical spine belong also the spasm of suboccipital muscles, which causes headaches and dizziness. To prevent or eliminate these problems, it is possible to use craniosacral therapy that leads to total body regeneration and relaxation. This is a gentle manual therapy. In the theoretical part I deal with the craniosacral method, a description of its history, a craniosacral concept and a craniosacral system, where I describe, among others, the craniosacral rhythm and the movement of the cranial bones. In the next part I describe parts of the craniosacral system, including cerebrospinal fluid, cerebrospinal diapers, connective tissue and soft tissues and fascia. In the next chapter I deal with palpation, which is the basis of this and other manipulation techniques. In the last chapter of the theoretical part of my thesis I deal with the cervical spine, where I briefly describe its structure and function and then i focus on the description of the frequent problems in the cervical spine that we can encounter in practice. In the practical part of my work I performed an in-and-out kineziological analysis, and during the therapy I used the methodology of questioning, observation and examination of palpation. Input and output data were compared at the end of the study. The research itself was conducted for 6 weeks after the initial kinesiological analysis was performed in total 5 therapies and the last sixth week was performed an output kinesiological analysis. The research group consisted of 5 patients aged 22-74 years. I did a therapy that consisted of a set of touches. Among the individual therapies, patients should have done a set of stretching exercises I have entered. I observe the patients during my therapies, and I performed a control palpation of the in patients before their third therapy. The obtained results show that the craniosacral method has an analgesic and relaxing effect on the cervical spine and can be used either as a separate therapy or in combination with other methods within physiotherapy. This work could serve as an educational resource for healthcare professionals and also for the general public, especially for people who are interested in alternative treatment methods.

Physiotherapy for patiens with sedentary jobs suffering recurrent pain in the cervical spine
HAVLÍČEK, Diana
This Bachelor thesis is about the issue of repeated pain in the cervical spin at patient with sedentary occupation. The aim of my work was to delineate the possibilities of various methods of physiotherapy and kinesiotherapy in the form of a complex therapeutic plan and to devise a set of exercises serving not only for therapy but also prevention of functional defects in the area of the cervical spine. I choose mostly from methodologies I met during my studies and convinced of their abilities. Inn the theoretical part there is a great attention focused to anatomy, function of cervical spine and functional disorders in this area. certain degree of importance has also been focused in describing the ergonomics of seduction and correct body shifting during sitting in the working process. Conclusion of the theoretical part creates selected physiotherapeutic procedures for the treatment of pain in the cervical spine at patients with sedentary occupations. The practical part was created thanks to the method of high quality, which was elaborated in the form of causes of three women from the age 45 to 50 years. They worked in a job requiring sitting at a minimum of eight hours a day, five days a week. These women had an input kinesiology analysis supplemented with a photographic documentation. On its basis was made a comprehensive therapeutics plan with individual therapies which was taking place once a week for two months. At the same time, they received a set of exercises, which were selected with regard to the possibilities of their everyday implementation at the office during their working hours. At the end of the research there was done an output examination. It was completed with photos and the subjective assessment of the condition and feelings of respondents. This bachelor thesis can be helpful not only for physiotherapists in the clinical practice dealing with problems of repeated cervical spine pains in patients with sedentary occupation, but also for the general people who can be in the state of endangerment of the origin of this prolact or by its permeability.
