The influence of flossing band on range of motion of hip joint in grappling athletes.
Müller, Michael ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Vláčilová, Ivana (referee)
Title: The influence of flossing band on range of motion of hip joint in grappling athletes Objectives: The objective of this thesis is to determine the effectiveness of the therapeutic method "tissue flossing" in increasing the range of motion of hip rotations among recreational level grappling athletes, and whether this effect persists after a 60-minute grappling training session or during daily activities. Methods: The experimental research involved 20 healthy participants engaged in recreational- level-grappling. All participants were men aged between 18-35 years. The research consisted of four sets of measurements conducted in two rounds, referred to as input and output measurements. In the first set, an input measurement was taken to establish the baseline range of motion for hip rotation in the right lower extremity, followed by an output measurement of the values for external and internal rotation in the hip joint after a 60-minute grappling session led by an expert coach. The second set included both input and output measurements taken before and after the 60-minute training session. However, specific exercises to enhance hip rotations were incorporated before the second input measurement. The third measurement followed the same procedure as the second set, with the addition of treating...

Jandera, Tomáš ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Vláčilová, Ivana (referee)
Title: A Change in Blood Flow in the Paravertebral Muscles during the Application of Compression Therapy Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the effect of compression therapy on the blood supply to the paravertebral muscles when applying flossing tape around the trunk. The second aim is to theoretically introduce the compression methods used in practice to the readers. Methods: The study involved 33 probands who completed a questionnaire to obtain basic anamnestic information before the measurement. Furthermore, the range of motion of the lumbar spine was examined into flexion using a modified Schober distance and the electrode of the Précisé 8008 device was placed on the right paravertebral muscles at approximately the level of the Th/L transition to determine blood flow. Flossing tape was applied for 2 minutes around the trunk at the lumbar spine. After removal of the tape, the range of motion of the lumbar spine into flexion was measured again. The obtained data were processed by using descriptive statistics, paired T-test and linear model. The statistical significance for all T-tests was assessed at a critical significance level of 0.05. Results: Changes in the blood flow of the paravertebral muscles during and after the application of flossing have been proven....

Comparative study of using high power and low power lasertherapy for tinnitus.
Farská, Tereza ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Vláčilová, Ivana (referee)
Title: Comparative study of high-power and low-power laser therapy in the treatment of tinnitus Objectives: To determine the efficacy of high-power and low-power laser therapy in reducing the loudness of chronic tinnitus and improving the quality of life in patients suffering from chronic tinnitus. Additionally, to compare the effects of both types of lasers. Methods: A total of 18 subjects were included in the experiment, who underwent an otorhinolaryngological, neurological, and kinesiological examination by a physiotherapist. The TSCHQ questionnaire was used to collect data, including the scaling of tinnitus loudness. Quality of life was assessed using the THI questionnaire. To determine the effect, data obtained from the questionnaires before and after intervention were compared. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests were used for statistical analysis. The homogeneity of groups was compared using the Mann-Whitney test, the Wilcoxon test was used to compare the effect of the laser within one group. The Chi-square test was used to evaluate qualitative data. The level of significance was set at 5 % (α = 0.05). Results: It was found that HILT had a statistically significant positive effect on reducing the intensity of chronic tinnitus, while LLLT did not. Therefore, high-power laser is...
