The effect of aerobic training in patients with systemic sclerosis - literature review
Játiová, Lenka ; Špiritović, Maja (advisor) ; Heřmánková, Barbora (referee)
Title: The effect of aerobic training in patients with systemic sclerosis - literature review Objective: Main aim of this diploma thesis is to evaluate the effect of aerobic training in individuals with systemic sclerosis, to assess whether aerobic training has an impact on quality of life of these patients, and find out which methods are used to assess aerobic fitness in these individuals. Furthermore, the work is focused on summarizing the existing knowledge about the disease itself. Methodics: Thesis is written in the form of a systematic review according to the specified methodological parameters. Results: Studies have shown that aerobic training or aerobic training in combination with resistant training has a positive effect on the aerobic capacity of individuals with systemic scleroderma, the trend to improve quality of life was found in all studies and the methods used to determine aerobic fitness in all studies were cardiopulmonary stress tests. In the case of three studies, a six-minute walk test was also evaluated, the results of which were determined in two studies as the primary values for determining the effectiveness of training. Keywords: systemic sclerosis, scleroderma, physical exercise, aerobic exercise, aerobic training
The effect of physical activity interventions on the course and activity of selected rheumatic diseases
Špiritović, Maja ; Tomčík, Michal (advisor) ; Horák, Pavel (referee) ; Soukup, Tomáš (referee)
Introduction: This work focused on two rare rheumatic diseases systemic sclerosis (SSc) and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Skin and musculoskeletal involvement in patients with SSc leads to disability and loss of functional abilities of an individual. Chronic inflammation of the muscles, subsequent muscle atrophy and permanent muscle damage in patients with IIM are the cause of a decrease in muscle strength and endurance. Moreover, both diseases also affect internal organs and manifest often with impaired lung and heart function. All of these involvements in both diseases lead to a decrease in the quality of life of patients. The data on efficacy of non-pharmacological care in SSc and IIM are very limited due to the heterogeneity of the studied interventions and/or outcomes. However, due to limitations in pharmacological therapy, non-pharmacological interventions could help bring patients back into their everyday life and improve their quality of life. Objectives: The main objective of this project was to evaluate the impact of physical intervention on disease course and activity in a substantial number of SSc and IIM patients, with the aim of minimizing the limitations of available studies, thereby improving the quality and reliability of the obtained results. Methods: This is a...

Heřmánková, Barbora ; Špiritović, Maja (advisor) ; Nováková, Tereza (referee)
Title: Sexual Dysfunction and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in Patients with Systemic Rheumatic Diseases Objectives: To assess sexual functions, quality of life and pelvic floor function in female patients with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) and Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies (IIM) compared to age-/sex-matched healthy controls (HC). Methods: In total, 41 women with SSc (mean age: 50.9, disease duration: 5.8 years), who fulfilled the ACR/EULAR 2013 classification criteria for SSc, 41 healthy controls (mean age: 50.9) without rheumatic diseases, 22 women with IIM [mean age: 55.1, disease duration: 7.9 years, dermatomyositis (DM, 8)/ polymyositis (PM, 10)/ necrotizing myopathy (IMNM, 3)/ inclusion body myositis (IBM, 1)], who fulfilled the Bohan/Peter 1975 diagnostic criteria for DM/PM, and 22 healthy controls (mean age: 55.1 years) filled in 12 well-established and validated questionnaires assessing sexual function/quality of life, pelvic floor function, fatigue, physical activity and depression. Results: Compared to HC, patients with SSc and IIM had significantly higher prevalence and greater severity of sexual dysfunction (FSFI, BISF-W: in all subscales as well as total scores), dysfunction of pelvic floor (PISQ-12), and worse sexual quality of life (SQoL-F). Worse scores in SSc patients were associated...

Title: EN: Case study of physiotherapy treatment of a patient with the diagnose psoriatic arthritis and total knee replacement CZ: Kazuistika fyzioterapeuticke léčby pacienta s diagnózu psoriatic arthritis a totální endoproteza kolenniho kloubu Work placement: Revmatologický ústav, Prague, Na slupi 450/4, 128 00 Praha 2- Nové Město Summary The objective of this thesis is to illustrate a case study of a patient with the diagnosis psoriatic arthritis and physiotherapy after a total knee replacement. It is discussed in two parts, one theoretical that will focus on anatomy, kinesiology, and biomechanics of the knee, and also focus on the psoriatic arthritis and osteoarthritis of the knee.. The second part, the special part, of the thesis will focus on the patients rehabilitation, describing the examination, the day to day therapy, the final examinations and conclusion. Keywords: Psoriatic arthritis, total knee replacement, osteoarthritis physiotherapy, rehabilitation.
