The effect of body position on pressure in anus during relaxation and contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. Pilot manometric study
Burianová, Eliška ; Havlíčková, Michaela (advisor) ; Ježková, Martina (referee)
This Research thesis is focused on the influence of body position on the function of pelvic floor muscles (PFM). Anatomical structures, kinesiology and neurophysiology of the PFM are described in the theoretical part of this thesis. It also discusses the methodology used for objective evaluation of the PFM. For the practical part of this thesis, 30 healthy subjects (aged 20 - 30 years, 15 male, 15 female) where chosen via a questionnaire. The subjects were examined via the method of anorectal manometry. The goal of the examination was to measure the distribution of a) resting pressure in the anal canal in selected positions, b) pressure during voluntary maximal contraction of PFM and sphincters in selected positions, c) pressure during 20 seconds of voluntary contraction. Selected positions are: lying on the back; lying on the back with legs elevated and held in "three flexion"; kneeling on all fours with palm support; kneeling on all fours with elbow support; squatting, and standing. Results: a) The resting pressure is influenced by the body position. Highest resting pressure was observed in squatting and standing positions, lowest resting pressure was measured on subjects while kneeling on all fours with elbow support. No significant difference was observed between male and female subjects in...

Physiotherapy in prevention and therapy of perineal injuries and episiotomies
Burianová, Eliška ; Ježková, Martina (advisor) ; Havlíčková, Michaela (referee)
This bachelor's thesis summarizes the information of pelvic floor function and perineal injuries that are caused by the delivery. In the theoretical part of this thesis are described anatomical structures in the pelvic area and their changes during the pregnancy and the puerperium. The main part of the thesis is focused on possibilities of preventing the perineal injuries. There are described problems that are caused by perineal lesions and dysfunction of the pelvic floor. Options of physiotherapeutic treatment of these problems are discussed as well. The practical part of the thesis is supplemented with a case study of a pregnant patient, who was preparing to the delivery during pregnancy with the goal of preventing perineal injury. The case study is completed with anamnestic data collection and analysis of kinesiology of the patient in pregnancy and after the delivery. A therapeutic plan is a part of the case study as well. The thesis is supplemented with the results of executed questionnaire survey of 49 patients after vaginal delivery.
