TOMČALOVÁ, Michaela
This thesis focuses on the non-functional sole of the foot and its influence on people with sedentary job's body posture. As a non-functional sole of the foot is considered, in the research part of this thesis, the deviation of the standard that can be determined by means of podoscope which displays the sole of foot, or by functional tests. The first aim of this work is to describe the posture disorder of people working in an environment where they burden the sole of the foot in the long term. The second aim consists in the suggesting and applying a physiotherapeutic plan for particular people with a dysfunctional foot sole and not having sedentary job. The target of the research question was to define a particular pattern of the posture disorder as a consequence of the dysfunction of the foot sole. In the theoretical part of the thesis the reader is informed about the development and anatomy of the foot, its function that can be focused on from the point of view of a foot as such as well as the function of the foot as an impact on the posture when sitting, standing and walking. Another part deals with the posture and its modifications in both, the statistics and dynamics. In relation to the research part of this thesis, there are incorporated chapters about the possibilities for the examination of the foot from the point of inspection, palpation, active and passive movements and, last but not least, the functional examination including tests of the sole of the foot and instrumental examination of the posture - posturography. Because of the target of the description of the consequences of the non-functional foot sole, there is a description of the function muscle chains that connect the sole of the foot, and the posture, included. A short part of the theory is dedicated to sanitary footwear. For the research part of the work, three women aged 21 22 with non-sedentary jobs, working eight hours per day as a minimum, with subjective difficulties with the pain of lower limbs and back in the lumbar area, were chosen. The collection of data took place in the form of processing three case interpretations with the use of the method of an interview, comparison and a kinesiological analysis, including the use of objective methods of the examination with podoscope and posturograph. The content of the kinesiological analysis was focused on a chosen test that were after the end of the therapy registered in a chart depicting the pattern of the posture disorder. The examination by posturograph includes projection of the focal point of probands to the supportive base and the measure of their motoric abilities. There was a physiotherapeutical plan conducted and applied in the form of exercise during the therapy of probands. The therapy took place for nine weeks, the brobands exercised every two weeks under the supervision of a therapist with the purpose of eliminating potential mistakes. The exercise was extended or corrected according to the actual condition of probands. From the results of the theoretical part it is obvious that it is possible to create the pattern of the posture disorder in case of the people with non-sedentary working place.
