Validation of the coding theory in TENS utilizing electrotherapy
Horká, Eva ; Pánek, David (referee) ; Malá, Jitka (advisor)
title: Validation of the coding theory in TENS utilizing electrotherapy Objective: Confirmation of the existence of coding theory in electrotherapy to relieve pain elektroanalgetickými current type TENS (transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation). Method: The thesis is elaborated on the basis of the pilot study, which is based to investigate the usability of TENS currents in pain. The experiment is conducted in ten patients (men and women aged 20-30 years) with chronic pain lumbar using assessment of pain using a visual analogue scale. The effect of the therapy is evaluated again using a visual analogue scale immediately after treatment and the following day before the treatment. For verify the effect of the therapy was repeated five times each day. Due to the low number Patients research has pilot character and its results are statistically analyzed. Results: As stated in theory (Nafe, 1934; Weddell, 1955; Sinclair, 1955), will be pain relief at least one level on a visual analogue scale, however, an absolute pain relief after one therapy does. In the context of the whole group during the five-day pain therapy reduced by 2 to 3 degrees, but not reduced during one current application, as indicated theory. Keywords: pain - coding theory - TENS - visual scale anlague Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Conduction of Diadynamic current in tissue of the human organism
Šmelhaus, Jaroslav ; Pánek, David (referee) ; Malá, Jitka (advisor)
English abstract: Thesis title: Conduction of Diadynamic current in tissue of the human organism Thesis is executed as primary experiment, based on an investigation of DD current's diffusion. Experiment is focused on six volunteers, showing no symptoms of fatigue, muscular overload or diseases of neuro - muscular transmission. To verify established intentions and goals, apparatus PhySys (Zimmer medizin system) was used, from which I applied DD current. I used 8 gutter polyEMG apparatus as a measure methodology to record the distribution of the current. Data analyses and evaluation of EMG signal was processed in program MyoResearch XP. The research has immediate character and its results are not statistically managed for the reason of low number of inmates. Name: Bc. Jaroslav Šmelhaus Keywords: Diadynamic current, EMG, action potential, conduction of electric current 11

Conduction of interferential currents by human body tissues
Zralíková, Hana ; Pánek, David (referee) ; Malá, Jitka (advisor)
Thesis title: Conduction of interferential currents by human body tissues Work objectives: The aim of this work was to determine the effect of electric stimulation on distant muscle groups and to verify, whether the response of mucles depends on the current frequency. Methods: Master's thesis was worked up on the basis of the pilot experimental study which 6 healthy volunteers from FTVS UK were included in. Interferential currents were applied to their paravertebral muscles in thoracolumbar parts on the frequency of 50 Hz and 100 Hz and 120 - 200 Hz. Electrical activity in distant muscle groups was registrated by surface electromyography. EMG records were analyzed by spectral analysis in MyoResearch XP Master program and evaluated visually. Extended essay is authorized by the FTVS UK ethics committee. Results: It was found that the interferential currents do not spread to distant muscle groups and the current frequency has no affect on their conduction. Research has brought another unexpected result, and that the applied current frequency occur in the tissues in its multiples in a very broad frequency bands. Keywords: electrotherapy, interferential currents, surface electromyography, spectral analysis

Evaluation of the sensitivity of fingers at a group of physiotherapists
Grabcová, Miroslava ; Malá, Jitka (referee) ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor)
Evaluation of the sensitivity of fingers at a group of physiotherapists Objectives: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity of the hand, specifically stereognosis and two-point discrimination, with groups of ten physiotherapists and ten participants in the control group of normal population and to identify which of these groups will have a better sensitivity of the hand and fingers. Another objective is to compare the results with the age of all participants and with length practice of physiotherapists. Methods: I used a few simple tests for two-point discrimination (two-point discrimination test) and stereognosis (shapes of objects and their material) to evaluation of sensitivity of fingers for research subjects. The results of a professional group I statistically compared with the results of control group, which was selected from the general population. Results: The results of the first type of sensation, stereognosis, were by a group of physiotherapists in comparison with the control group significantly improved. Individual times of physiotherapists were from the first order of best to the last of the worst always smaller than in the same order in the general population. In results of the second type of sensitivity, two-point discrimination, wasn't a group of...

Shiatsu Method: Insight into its Potential Use by Physiotherapists
Klučinová, Lenka ; Véle, František (referee) ; Malá, Jitka (advisor)
Title: Shiatsu Method: Insight into its Potential Use by Physiotherapists Goal of the work: Cílem této práce je rešeršním způsobem podat kritický náhled na metodu shiatsu a její možný přínos pro fyzioterapeuty a zodpovědět níže uvedené hypotézy. methods Pro svou magisterskou diplomovou práci jsem zvolila zpracování zadaného tématu formou critical review. Jedná se tedy o interpretační neboli kvalitativní výzkum v dané oblasti. Z možných metod kvalitativního výzkumu jsem využila studium dokumentů, pasivní pozorování, pozorování s účastí a aktivní rozhovory. Key words: shiatsu, alternativní medicína, akupresura, tsubo (akupresurní bod)

Conduction of low frequency current - TENS - through human tissues
Černíková, Kateřina ; Pánek, David (referee) ; Malá, Jitka (advisor)
Thesis title: Conduction of low frequency current - TENS - through human tissues Name: Kateřina Černíková The aim of the thesis: The aim of this study is to determine, whether applying low frequency TENS cause the conduction of electrical potential to muscle groups outlaying from the point of irritation. And if the frequency has an influence on the conduction. Subjects and Methods: Application of low-frequency current, namely transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation, in the frequencies of 45 Hz, 121 Hz and 235 Hz - on the paravertebral muscles, on the left side of the body. It's a pilot study involving 6 probands (1 man, 5 women) aged 20-30 years. Electrical activity was measured by surface electromyography. Spectral analysis carried out in the Master MyoResearch XP program was used to evaluate the measured data. Results are graphed for clarity. Results: It was confirmed that the condution of electrical potential in the organism exceeds the site of stimulated muscle. However, these are a very low values to be used in clinical practice. This conduction varies according to the applied frequency. With higher frequencies, electrical current gets more to outlying muscle groups. Furthermore, it was found that the frequency of applied current doesn't appears in the used frequency, but in its multiples....
