The possibilities of affection hypermobility of older school children
KRBEČEK, Jindřich
The bachelor's thesis at hand is based on a research on functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system, specifically focusing on congenital hypermobility in school children, paying special attention to shoulder and elbow joints. Hypermobility is a disorder of the musculoskeletal system, which causes excessive laxity of connective tissue that makes the joints get into extreme positions. This may cause damage not only to the articular cartilage, but also to the entire joint including the surrounding tissue. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts.

Possibilities of prevention of occupational damage to musculosceletal system of physiotherapists
LEŠÁKOVÁ, Jana
This work has dealt with possibilities to prevent the locomotive system?s damages suffered by professional physiotherapists. The goal of this work is to map the demands of the physiotherapist?s job and to propose preventive measures preventing locomotive system?s damages suffered by professional physiotherapists. Another goal of this work is to find out the actual state of the locomotive system of the chosen group of physiotherapists and to collect information relating to their ways of prevention and their care for their own musculoskeletal system. The work contains the theoretical and the practical parts. The physiotherapy has been defined in the theoretical part, two most frequent damages of the physiotherapists? locomotive system have been analysed, and possibilities of prevention have been described there. The practical part contains the quantitative pre-research and the qualitative research. The qualitative pre-research is based on findings and frank answers by physiotherapists from different health-care facilities (hospitals, health resorts, rest homes, rehabilitation centres), located mostly in the region South Bohemia. The quantitative pre-research was realised with questionnaires asking eleven questions. The qualitative research consists in inquiring of two physiotherapists. A conclusion has been drawn from the realised anamnesis, a kinesiologic analysis, and observations made during the physiotherapist?s work. Preventive measures have been suggested that could prevent the development of locomotive system?s damages. It is the secondary prevention in most cases. Further information was collected in Finland, in the town Rovaniemi during the student exchange. The stay in Finland enabled to compare preventive approaches relating to ergonomics and other risk factors during the physiotherapist?s work in Scandinavia and in the Czech Republic. It was concluded from the research that professional physiotherapists know the hazard relating to locomotive system?s damages. They also know prevention possibilities; however, not everybody of them has applied them adequately during his/her practice. This work can motivate all physiotherapists to think about results of practising physiotherapy for a long time and to improve measures preventing damages of their own locomotive system.

Non-pharmacological Treatment for Clients with Functional Disorders of the Motion System - the Root Joint Hypermobility
BUREŠOVÁ, Vendula
This thesis deals with research into the issues of functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially with hyper-mobility of root joints. It consists of a theoretical and a practical section. The theoretical section describes the components of the musculoskeletal system, with special emphasis on anatomy and basic kinesiology of root joints. The definitions of functional disorders, as well as a comparison with structural disorders, are also be given here. The conclusion of this section is devoted to hyper-mobility and a description of its history, aetiology, etiopathogenesis, and clinical manifestation. A classification of hyper-mobility, as well as diagnostics and differential diagnostics, are also included here. The theoretical section aims to describe the problems associated with hyper-mobility and the diagnostic difficulties. The practical section of this thesis describes the research that applied the qualitative research method. The test group consists of two women of different ages who have been diagnosed with hyper-mobility in their root joints. Their therapy took place in the rehabilitation department of the Vltava Health Centre in České Budějovice. All three patients provided their case history, underwent preliminary kinesiological analysis and verification of hyper-mobility. On the basis of this, the most effective individual therapy was designed and performed, which was originally the aim of this practical section. The therapy was verified through a final kinesiological examination which provided the grounds for the final evaluation of results.This thesis can offer a comprehensive view on the problems of hyper-mobility and the associated symptoms. It emphasises the fact that hyper-mobility should be taken into account and should not be ignored, which has often been the case up to now. The work can also serve as a source of inspiration when designing a rehabilitation plan for hyper-mobile patients.

The Evaluation of physical demands associated with postal workers
SUCHANOVÁ, Markéta
Evaluation of physical burden on selected professions at the post office The current trend of working conditions tends to reduce the proportion of physically demanding work, but leads to an increased psychological stress in staff members. However, there are professions, such as those involved in postal services, that are still exposed to considerable physical burden. This thesis provides a basic view of health consequences of excessive physical load and manual handling of burdens, it describes specifics of the postman / postwoman profession, specifics in the staff members working in interior post services and those who work at postal counters in terms of physical burden. The objective of this thesis was to survey the physical burden connected with manual load handling at the post office in Jindrichuv Hradec. The thesis also aims at finding out rehabilitation possibilities for post office staff and proposing ways how to improve the current situation. A questionnaire enquiring about post office staff members´ awareness of musculoskeletal diseases prevention, evaluation of their own health condition and symptoms of fatique caused by physical activity, is a crucial component of my thesis. The results of the questionnaire survey were analyzed and reported in graphs and tables. Measurements of weight and cumulative weight of manually manipulated loads and the workers´ heart rate before and after the physical stress were carried out. I have found that postmen and postwomen and interior post services staff are exposed to great physical strain and frequent handling heavy loads, that in some cases exceed hygienic limits. It was also found that 65% of post office staff were not aware of the claim on financial contribution to rehabilitation massage. The hypotheses stated were confirmed. 1. Post office staff members are exposed to excessive physical strain while handling heavy load 2. The level of post office workers{\crq} knowledge on musculoskeletal disorders prevention is not sufficient. I suggest mechanization, use of mechanical devices and removal of architectural barriers to be introduced. Furthermore, I suggest to include training to handle loads in a correct way to prevent back disorders.

Occurrence of poor posture by children, pupil of primary school (confrontation, eventualy interventional measures)
VODIČKOVÁ, Šárka
Locomotive organ diseases, such as bad body control, belong nowadays to the most frequent chronic, non-infectious diseases. This problem is not only related to adults but the appearance of this problem in the early children´s age is constantly increasing. According to the research made in 2001 the prevalence of adult locomotive organ diseases varies from 16 % to 30 %, from which the appearance at women patients is more frequently recorded. Locomotive organ diseases at children, which need a long term medical monitoring, represent 16 %. The occurrence of bad body control was reported at 30 % of younger school age children in the Czech Republic. 50 % of the respondents in the age between 13 and 15 mentioned back ache. Changes in life style not only of adult generation, but above all, of children and teenagers, which result from today´s stressful life conditions, influence negatively human locomotive organs. This thesis focuses on the occurrence of bad body control at elementary school pupils at the age from 11 to 15. The theoretical part summarises knowledge about human locomotive organs, right and bad body control, moreover it gives information about methods used for bad body control diagnosing and it describes examination principles. At the end it covers possibilities of prevention. The practical part of this thesis collects and analyses facts gathered form a questionnaire. The questionnaires were given to pupils at elementary schools in small towns Sedlčany and Příbram and then in the capital city Prague. The aim of this thesis is to monitor the healthy life style of children, especially if they are encouraged to locomotive activities at school and in their free time. Correct method and variety of locomotive activities is very important in the early children´s age as prevention from locomotive organ diseases. Furthermore, the thesis focuses on risk factors causing the occurrence of bad body control, such as weight and long term, one sided spine load of. I try to process these facts and use them to verify or disprove the defined hypothesis. It was proved that children are encouraged to locomotive activities not only at school during their PE lessons, but also by their parents, they attend different sport clubs (football, hockey, dancing, canoeing) and they do a lot of sport activities in their free time (cycling, working out in the gym, swimming). The survey has also shown that on average children spend 6 hours a week doing sports activities and in the contrary they spend 20 hours a week watching television and playing computer games.

The incidence of musculoskeletal disorders in sport horses
ŠTĚRBA, Jakub
The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of locomotive organs disorders in sports horses. The locomotive organs condition is one of the determining factors of horse{\crq}s performance, thus it is also very important economical factor. The occurrence of the disorders is important not only for the given individual, but it can be used e.g. as the genetic information or the indicator of breeding management. The results of 151 horses in the age from 3 to 24 years were observed. Total of 10 radiographic images were evaluated in each horse. With respect to frequency and importance, following disorders were emphasized: occurrence and degree of modifications of navicular bone (navicular syndrome) and hock joint (bone spavin). Others modifications were observed on a smaller range. The results showed that only 11% of horses were free of any disorder. 89% of horses had at least one of the disorders, whereas 83% of them showed the disorder of navicular bone and 52% of them showed the disorder of bone spavin.

Etiology of traumas of the locomotive apparatus sufferd by seniors and requiring acute rescue solution
HAVLOVÁ, Marie
ETIOLOGY OF TRAUMAS OF THE LOCOMOTIVE APPARATUS SUFFERED BY SENIORS AND REQUIRING ACUTE RESCUE SOLUTION The paper is focused on the research pertaining to injuries of bones, joints and muscles suffered by the senior population. The subject of the research was the injuries occurred in the past five years that were attended to by the medical rescue service. The theoretical part is focused on description of pathophysiological changes of the skeletal and the muscle system that take place at old age, and defines the basic health risk factors and further effects that may lead to injuries. The objective of the empiric part was collection of the information on whose basis the occurrence and the origin of injuries of the locomotive apparatus suffered by seniors will be defined in relation to the actions of the medical rescue service with respect to sex, and description of the household environment conditions or some other effects (such as alcohol and medicines) on occurrence of injuries of the skeleton system, based on which it will be possible to define the measures and the procedures that may be used to reduce occurrence of these types of injuries. The research was performed in the district of České Budějovice on the surveyed set of 214 informants older than 60 years. The selected set was made out on the basis of quota random selection with respect to sex. The reason for selection of this topic was the increasing proportion of actions of the medical rescue service necessitated by injuries suffered at a higher age, and the growing number of hospitalized seniors.
