The impact of asthma on children's incorrect body posture
KORDOVSKÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor thesis deals with the relationship between asthma bronchial and a defective posture at children. Bronchial asthma is a chronic respiratory disease which incidence is still rising. One of the reasons is a growing number of children suffering from allergies. Their current role in the wrong lifestyle plays its part, too. During the attack, bronchial asthma causes narrowing of the respiratory tract which leads to increased breathing requirements. Some troubles persist even during attacks at some children who suffer with asthma. These increased breathing demands overload the auxiliary breathing muscles over a long period of time and it leads to a change of the breathing stereotype. Changes in the breathing stereotype are linked to problems such as a poor function of the diaphragm, which has impacts not only on the respiratory function but also the postural function. All of this leads to various muscle imbalances. And that's what we're getting to the issue of faulty posture. One of the goals was to find out and describe the relationship between asthma bronchial and faulty posture. In the theoretical part, the bachelor thesis deals with the description of asthma bronchial, its causes, symptoms, diagnostics and therapy. There is also physiotherapydescribed, suitable for bronchial asthma, which was one of the goals of my bachelor thesis, and various breathing aids. The third objective was to set up an exercise unit suitable for children with asthma bronchial, whose exercises would also have influence ontheir faulty posture. An exercise unit is a part of the attachments. In the practical part, I have described three case reports, where the probands were children of pre-school and younger school age. Asthma bronchial had been diagnosed at these individuals. I have described not only their examination but also their work which differs from working with adults in some respects. Therapies were going on from November 2016 to March 2017 irregularly, but the individualshad their task of practicing at home under the supervision of trained parents.

Havlištová, Michaela ; Smolíková, Libuše (advisor) ; Zounková, Irena (referee)
Bibliographic identification HAVLIŠTOVÁ, Michaela. Respiratory physiotherapy affects the quality of life of children with SMA - how, when and why? Prague: Charles University, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Department of rehabilitation and sport medicine, 2012. 81 p. Supervisor Doc. PaedDr. Libuše Smolíková, Ph. D. Annotation This thesis deals with the influence respiratory function in children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The theoretical part provides an overview of respiratory physiotherapy techniques that can be used in the care of the airways in people with SMA. The practical part deals with the question whether it is possible using the selected techniques of respiratory physiotherapy after six weeks of training to affect ventilatory parameters in children with SMA. The group of six probands with SMA I. - III. type in the range of the age from 3.5 to 12 years participated in this study. To objectively assess changes was performed spirometry efore the beginning of the therapy and after its conclusion. The main therapy was daily training with inspiratory breath simulator CliniFlo. After the finishing of therapy there was a positive change in all measured parameters except for vital capacity (VC) and maximal expiratory flow at 75% of FVC (MEF75), where the values didn't change.

Physiotherapy in children with cystic fibrosis
TOMÁŠKOVÁ, Monika
The theme of this thesis is children´s cystic fibrosis and the impact of using the methods of physiotherapy. The thesis consists of theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical section is summarized the findings of cystic fibrosis, its history, diagnosis and treatment. Next, in theoretical parts are included the methods of respiratory physiotherapy and other methods of physiotherapy that can positively affect the lives of individuals with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a serious life-threatening disease. Currently there is no effective treatment leading to a complete cure. This disease is characteristic of excessive formation of thick mucus, which most frequently occur in the organs of the respiratory and digestive systems. Thick mucus is the basis for the emergence of various microorganisms which an individual is suffering from cystic fibrosis threatened. The main symptoms of cystic fibrosis are chronic respiratory diseases manifested by cough, expiratory dyspnea and a feeling of inability to breathe. Another typical symptom is a high concentration of electrolyte salt in sweat that causes patients salty taste of sweat. An important aspect is the early diagnosis of disease and early treatment. The key is to combinate pharmacological therapy with daily implementation methods of respiratory physiotherapy. Complementary forms of treatment may be the use of physiotherapy; it can significantly boost the quality of life of the individual. In the practical part is used qualitative research method, case study. The research was conducted in the home of the patient. The research sample was consisted of one patient diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, which was monitored over a period of several months. In the beginning was made entry kinesiology analysis, from which unfolded subsequent individual therapy. This was mainly focused on defective posture and partially covers methods of respiratory physiotherapy. At the end of therapy was conducted final kinesiology analysis. The results are processed in the form of case studies.

Physiotherapy for recurrent respiratory diseases of infants in home environment
ŽITNÍKOVÁ, Ivana
This thesis deals with physiotherapy for recurrent respiratory diseases of infants. Respiratory diseases belong to the most common childhood diseases. Therefore it is necessary to pay attention to this issue. The first two goals of this thesis are to cover an issue of respiratory physiotherapy in infants, both theoretically and practically. The third aim is to create a visual guide for parents of infants with respiratory diseases. To achieve these goals, it was necessary to study literature and to become familiar with the therapy in practice. Methods of qualitative research including direct observation techniques, casual interview with mothers, secondary analysis of data and taking photographs were applied in this research. The research group consisted of three infants with respiratory diseases, who come into the care of the pediatrician prof. MD. M. Velemínský, PhD., Dr. H. C., prof. H. C. Indirect anamneses were taken and through aspecting I assessed their postural activity. During three visits over the time horizon of 10 days, mothers of infants were gradually familiarized with the application of techniques of respiratory physiotherapy in order to realize the therapy in the home environment. On the basis of briefing I wrote a manual. I would like to inform the general public about the possibilities of this treatment. I tried to trace the responses of the infants to the application of the techniques of respiratory physiotherapy, to find a correlation between the character of their breathing and the postural activity and, last but not least, I focused on the problems that appeared during the training. This thesis can be beneficial not only for parents of the infants with respiratory diseases but also for the students of physiotherapy. I believe, that the manual I made could above all facilitate the parents of the ill children to participate on their treatment.
