Case Study of Physiotherapy Treatment of a Patient After Stroke
Kofránková, Vlasta ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Hrdý, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Case Study of Physiotherapy Treatment of a Patient After Stroke Objective: To evaluate the effects of physiotherapy care on the patient. Methods: The first general part provides the description of the desease itself, its pre- valence in the Czech Republic, etiopathogenesis, clinical features, prognosis and current therapeutic approaches in acute, sub-chronic and chronic stages. Recommendations for primary prevention of cerebrovascular accident are described. Post-stroke patients with permanent disabilities run high risk of falling. Some selected methods (tests) are presented to evaluate the patient's balance ability (e.g. Berg Balance Scale, BESTest). The special part of this work presents a case study of a post-stroke patient, the course of the therapy and an evaluation of its effects. Results: The physiotherapy care has led to improvements of gross and fine motor skills and increased the patient's independence in everyday living. Balance ability of the patient is evaluated using the BESTest. Conclusion: It is important to maintain optimal health, independence and self- suffi- ciency of patients in the chronic stage. Specially developed functional tests can be used to evaluate the patient's condition and to choose an effective therapy. Keywords: cerebrovascular accident, brainstem stroke, falls...

Spectral Analysis of Electromyography Data of Power Lifters
Kofránková, Vlasta ; Otáhal, Jakub (advisor) ; Tlapáková, Eva (referee)
Title: Spectral Analysis of Electromyography Data of Power Lifters Objectives: The aim of this thesis is a description of muscle activity and its measu- rement using electromyography (EMG), description of parameters of EMG signal and their relationship to neuromuscular physiology. The aim of the practical part is an implementation of spectral analysis of EMG data of power lifters when performing 4 series of 5 split-squats carrying loading in one hand. Methods: The spectral analysis of EMG data of 35 athletes is presented. The athletes performed 4 series of 5 split-squats with one sided loading. The loading was 25% and 50% of their body mass and the carrying position was homolateral and contralateral to stance leg. Muscles chosen for measurement were vastus medialis obliquus, vastus lateralis obliquus, gluteus medius and biceps femoris of both sides. The implementation of digital signal proces- sing algorithm was done using Matlab and its Signal Processing Toolbox. The spectral analysis was implemented using discrete Fourier transform with sliding 256-sample window size and 32-sample window increment. The resulting spectrogram was divided into parts based on smoothed EMG. Median frequency for each split-squat was calculated. For the statistical processing we used median frequency differencies...
