Plačková, Veronika ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Šorfová, Monika (referee)
Title: Detection of rheological changes in the axial system of pregnant women using the TVS method. Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to evaluace the effect of pregnancy on the biomechanical properties of the spine. Methods: TVS vibration diagnostic methods were applied to six pregnant women twice during pregnancy. It was investigated ability of axial system to dampen vibration spreading through out the spine. The ability of every single segment to damp vibrations were compared with each other at the beginning and during pregnancy. Results: TVS method used for purpose of this paper has been proved adequate to provide information about the resonant frequencies and the total attenuation of the spine with sufficient accuracy, so that the biomechanice changes of axial system during pregnancy could be decidly identified. Comparison of the frequency dependency and total attenuation of spine indicated increase of total attenuation of the spine and also increase of flexibility of the spine in all investigated probands. Keywords: gravidity, pregnancy, axial system, vibrations, TVS, spine

Name of the diploma thesis: Comparison in Frequency of Shoulder and Spine Injuries between 1st National Volleyball Men's and Women's League Players Goal of the diploma thesis: Goal of this thesis is to determine frequency of shoulder and spine injuries within men's category of professional volleyball. Thesis also surveys types of prevention and regeneration that players use, how long they warm up and how they compensate strain before training (match) and after training (match). At the end thesis compares men's results with women's that are based on survey from this thesis and from bachelor work (Vítová, 2012). Method: Required data was obtained by questionnaire in field. Acquired data was processed on the basis of perused Czech and foreign literature that is focused on injuries and prevention in sport.

The Quantification of Biomechanical Consequences of Monotonous Sedentary Work to the Axial System
Janáčková, Nina ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Jelen, Karel (referee)
Thesis Title: The Quantification of Biomechanical Consequences of Monotonous Sedentary Work to the Axial System Thesis Goals: The goal of the Diploma Thesis is to assess the impact of sedentary work position on the axial system and to find out what changes in biomechanical properties occur specifically in the spine after the specific monotonous eight hours lasting load. Method: Five probands were exposed to diagnostic vibrations of the TVS method (transfer vibration through the spine) before performing eight hours monotonous sedentary work and after it. The examined feature was the ability of the axial system to dampen vibrations spread throughout the spine. Dampening reactions of individual segments were compared to each other before and after the performance of work. Results: The TVS method applied at work has proven its adequacy in the provision of information on resonance frequencies and on the overall attenuation of the spine with sufficient accuracy so that the impact to the axial system after completing the work performance was clearly identifiable. When comparing the frequency dependence and overall attenuation of individual probands we have found that the overall attenuation of the spine increased in all examined individuals. Key words: work, axial system, spine, vibrations and TVS.

Kinematic of cervical thoracic spine in the context of whole body posture
Vláčilová, Ivana ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Tlapáková, Eva (referee) ; Ravnik, David (referee)
Title: Kinematic of cervical thoracic spine in the context of whole body posture Problematics: This work describes the kinematics of upper thoracic spine during specific movement of the shoulder girdle. The kinematic changes are evaluated with the relationship of the whole body posture. Aim: To develop the objective evaluation of the posture and the amount of the segmental spinal movement of cervical thoracic spine. To describe the relationship between the specific movement of arm - adduction and external humeral rotation - and the posture using 3D kinematic analysis. To objectify this tested movement as a diagnostic tool or a therapy for forward head posture. Methods: The theoretical part of this work summarizes the current knowledge of poor posture and there is defined the upright posture. The experimental part describes the measurement of the movement of shoulder girdle and its response to the axial system using 3D kinematic analysis. Result: The results of kinematic 3D motion analysis show that the external humeral rotation with adduction of the shoulder leads to the upright posture if there is the horizontal position of the thorax and pelvis. The posture was divided due to the physiological or pathological response with this simple movement. Conclusion: A new model for evaluation of the...

Case Study of Physiotherapy Treatment of a Patient with the Diagnosis of Polytopic Vertebral Algic Syndrome of Cervical and Lumbar Spine
Vosátková, Marie ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Dušánek, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Case Study of Physiotherapy Treatment of a Patient with the Diagnosis of Polytopic Vertebral Algic Syndrome of Cervical and Lumbar Spine Summary: The aim of this thesis is to summarize theoretical findings about issue of vertebral algic syndrome and on this basis, elaborate the case study of physiotherapy treatment of a patient with the diagnosis of polytopic vertebral algic syndrome of cervical and lumbar spine. The topics of theoretical part of this thesis are anatomy and kinesiology of the spine, exact definition of this diagnosis including etiology and pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, possibilities of investigation and treatment. The practical part is formed by case study of physiotherapy treatment of a patient with the diagnosis of polytopic VAS of cervical and lumbar spine, which was elaborated during clinical work placement at Rehabilitation Clinic of Královské Vinohrady, University Hospital in Prague, in the term from 19. 1. 2015 to 13. 2. 2015. Keywords: vertebral algic syndrome, spine, case study, physiotherapy

Identification of changes in mechanical characteristics of human axial system as a result of loading and relaxation regime
Van der Kamp Kloučková, Kateřina ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Maršík, František (referee) ; Rosina, Jozef (referee)
Problem: A lot of attention is given to the safety of the driving and the possibility to register fatigue of the drivers. Driving cars is monotony and static. Vibration loading, which causes changes in the axial system. This causes discomfort and fatigue to drivers after some time of exposure to the loading. Hypothesis: It is possible to prove the changes of mechanical characteristics (indicators) of the axial system using the TVS (transfer vibration through spine) method. By using TVS method before and after different types of loading or before and after relaxation it is possible to detect changes of the viscoelastic properties. This can be done by checking changes in the way of waves transfer through the axial system of the observed participants. Objective: Verify the possibility of use of TVS method to register changes of the viscoelastic characteristics of the axial system. Method: The TVS was chosen as a detection method. The method is based on the use of five-msec semi-bandwidth γ pulse stimuli and consequent application of continuously changing harmonic stimuli which periodically differ between 5Hz and 160Hz to the vertebrae C7 and L5. This wave is carried through the axial system and its acceleration on the spinous processes between C7 and S1 is scanned with the help of accelerometric...
