Gašpárek, Milan ; Valouchová, Petra (advisor) ; Slabý, Kryštof (referee)
Objectives: We evaluate the movement patterns of left-sided radicular syndrome patients on the basis of intervertebral disc herniation L4/L5 or L5/S1 and test group to verify expected verge asymmetry between selected muscles and changes in their timing. Participants: 10 patients with left-sided radicular syndrome caused by intervertebral disc herniation were objects of the reserarch L4/L5 or L5/S1 (7 men, 3 women, average age 37,4 ± 10,67 years old). 6 healthy individuals without vertebrogenic problems were part of the reserarch (2 men, 4 women, average age 27,4 ± 2,6 years old) Methods: During specific tests focused on stabilizing function of musculosceletal system, selected muscles activity was recorded for both groups by SEMG Data analysis: The variation significance between experimental and test group was evaluated by two-tailed t-test. Significance level of p=0.05 was selected for statistical hypothesis testing. Results: We have proved statistically significant asymmetry between right and left side for patients with radicular syndrom. Significant variations were found for muscles timing between group with herniation and test group. Conclusion: Selected muscles activity and involvement sequence changes (timing) were found for patients with intervertebral disc herniation during postural tests,...

The effect of the cencept of DNS in patients with chronic vertebrogenic syndrome of lumbar spire
Šulová, Eva ; Kobesová, Alena (advisor) ; Valouchová, Petra (referee)
The main aim of the presented diploma thesis was to record objective and subjective changes after therapy with DNS concept in a group of 13 people with LBP. Moiré projection topography was used to record postural changes after 5.5 week therapeutic intervention. It was not clear, whether DNS exercise would help them to achieve visible postural changes and whether this technique is able to record these changes, which would mean that it is a suitable option for objectivisation of therapies focusing on correction of stabilisation and postural functions. Pedoscan was used for further objectivisation of the effect of DNS concept. The chosen correlate of the mentioned objective evaluation was Oswestry disability index, evaluating limitations of common everyday activities resulting from pain in the lower back, and the Numeric pain scale. Patients underwent 5 hour-long physiotherapeutic lessons, the recommended frequency of exercises in the household environment was 3-4 times per day. The probands exercised with the use of DNS concept according to the individual examination findings, especially in the area of the integrated spine stabilisation system. The data were statistically elaborated by Wilcoxon Signed-Rand test, which a non-parametric variant of the pair T-test. It is obvious from the results that...

Moiré and Pedoscan dynamic examinations of patients with scoliosis
Klímová, Michaela ; Valouchová, Petra (advisor) ; Dyrhonová, Olga (referee)
Scoliosis is the most common deformity of the spine affecting from 3 to 6% of human population. The thesis "Moiré and Pedoscan dynamic examinations of patients with scoliosis" summarizes the findings of kinesiology of the spine, pelvis and hip joints and ontogenesis of axial organ straightening. It also deals with the issue of idiopathic scoliosis, its incidence, etiology, classification, diagnosis, treatment options and applied physiotherapy methods. The paper emphasizes the influence of physiotherapy that forms an integral part of medical treatment. A great part of the thesis is devoted to the rasterstereographic and pedobarographic examination. The main purpose of this thesis was to detect and evaluate parameters assessing posture and movement of patients suffering from scoliosis and compare them with a control group. For this purpose, a pedobarographic system Diers pedoscan was used, which detected the distribution of compressive forces on the feet when walking and standing. It was also used a rasterstereographic system Diers formetric III 4D, which allowed for capturing photogrammetric recording of the spine and pelvis using a video-rasterstereography based on the Moiré topography. The study was carried out with a group of 22 females with idiopathic scoliosis up to 40ř according to Cobb aged...

Monitoring the impact of Vojta reflex locomotion on the activity of the muscles of the shoulder girdle in patients with subacromials impingement syndrome by surface electromyography
Myslivcová, Kateřina ; Valouchová, Petra (advisor) ; Slabý, Kryštof (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused on the observation of influence of Vojta's reflex locomotion on the activity of shoulder girdle's muscles at patients with the subacromial impingement syndrome. We examined ten patients with the subacromial impingement syndrome as well as twenty asymptomatic individuals. We evaluated the impact of just one Vojta's reflex locomotion therapy on the activity of muscles using the Method of the Surface Electromyography. At the same time we evaluated if the reaction on the therapy had some impact on measured values. The therapy always took at least time necessary to obtain any reaction of each of the individuals, although the maximum limit of the therapy was 32 minutes. The impact of Vojta's reflex locomotion therapy had not statistical importance with regard on changes of muscle activity after and before the therapy, with regard on the symmetry of muscle activity, as well as the difference of beginning of activation of every muscle before and after the therapy. The statistical importance was influenced just by the corporeal disposition of every measured individual, which was observed on the timing. The influence of the corporeal disposition on the average measured values with regard of the left - right side symmetry has no statistical importance. The statistical...

The use of kinesiotape and its influence on a muscular activity of a shoulder girdle of volleyball players
Chalupová, Andrea ; Valouchová, Petra (advisor) ; Geržová, Eliška (referee)
Bibliographic record: CHALUPOVÁ, A. The use of kinesio tape and its influence on a muscular activity of a shoulder girdle of volleyball players. Prague, 2013, 90 s. Master thesis, Charles University in Prague, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, supervisor Mgr. Petra Valouchová, Ph.D. Abstract: In sport a kinesio taping is an often used method during a therapy of musculoskeletal system. Among its effects are counted a correction of muscular and articular functions, a rise of blood and lymph circulation, a kinesthesia improvement and a pain reduction. The aim of my thesis was to find out, whether the kinesiotaping influences the muscular activity of a shoulder girdle of volleyball players. A unilateral load of volleyball players predisposes them to suffer from patokinesiology changes especially in the area of a shoulder girdle of a dominant upper limb. In my research sample there were 15 active volleyball players without any urgent affection of musculoskeletal system. I have used a form of case history to compile one volleyball player with an impengement syndrome of shoulder girdle. Using a surface electromyography MYOSystem 1400A (Noraxon U.S.A.) there was recorded an activity of selected muscles of a shoulder girdle, in addition rectus abdominis and m.erctor spinae during two resting positions and five dynamic...

Monitoring of the impact of external load on timing of shoulder girdle muscles during abduction in scapular plane - pilot sEMG study
Knorová, Kateřina ; Čech, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Valouchová, Petra (referee)
Bachelor's thesis "Monitoring of the impact of external load on timing of shoulder girdle muscles during abduction in scapular plane - pilot sEMG study" is focused on the changes of muscle activation pattern in response to increase of strength demands. Theoretical part contains a review on factors influencing the movement outcome and the strength capability of musculoskeletal system. Experimental part is based on pilot sEMG study monitoring the impact of external load on timing of shoulder girdle muscles during abduction in scapular plane. Thirteen subjects (10 females, 3 males) at the age range from 20 to 30 years (median 21 years) were included in this study. The experiment consisted of 3 model situations: A) without external load, B) with light load (1kg) and C) with excess load (3-10kg). All muscles were activated earlier with increasing load. The differences between mean onset times of individual muscles were decreasing with increasing load. Results of this study support the theory of coordination-strength funcional reserve of musculoskeletal system. Discussion summarizes possible consequences and possibilities of using this phenomenon; both in testing, therapy and monitoring its effects.

Effect of kinesiotaping on shoulder girdle muscle activity
Dvořáková, Petra ; Valouchová, Petra (advisor) ; Bitnar, Petr (referee)
Kinesiotaping is a new method used for an extremely wide range of clinical conditions. Kinesiotaping is established in sport for treatment and prevention of injury and offers therapists a new treatment possibility of muskuloskeletal injuries and disorders. There are used elastic permeable and water-resistant adhesive tapes of different colours. Elasticity of the tape maintains the patient's full mobility. This is the decisive advantage compared with the previous treatment taping methods. The mechanism of kinesiotaping is based on two main effects. The kinesiotape stimulate the skin receptors and increase interstitial space between the skin and the underlying connective tissues. Therefore it improves the circulation of both venous and lymphatic fluid and decrease pressure on mechanical nociceptors. It is surprising that even though the kinesiotaping is being very often used, there is lack of evidence demonstrating its effectiveness. The aim of the thesis is therefore to summarize all general information about the kinesiotaping and compare them with published results. The special chapter is devoted to the kinesiotaping of the shoulder girdle, which is supplemented by a practical section about the muscle activity effect of the kinesiotaping of the shoulder girdle measured by surface electromyography.

Gait disorders in Patients with Parkinson's disease
Bulová, Hana ; Zárubová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Valouchová, Petra (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with problems of the Parkinson's disease (PD). It is an incurable neurodegenerative disorder which is caused by degeneration of pigment cells producing dopamine in the substantia nigra. The lack of dopamine impairs regulating activities of the basal ganglia. That leads to manifestation of the typical symptoms of PD. Knowledge survey briefly describes symptoms, diagnostics and treatment for this disease. This paper focuses on neurolocomotor process, movement control and especially gait disorders which occurs in patients with Parkinson's disease. Problems with walking develops subsequently, progressively limiting patients in their daily activities. Because current medications providing little relieve, physiotherapy plays an important role in ameliorating these symptoms. This thesis describes various physiotherapeutic approaches. It emphasizes necessity of regular exercising which is absolutely essential to slow the progression of the disease and its debilitating effects. Practical part of this work focuses on the efficacy of the therapy on one patient. This man has the typical PD symptoms and freezing and hesitation often happens to him. He has no cognitive deficit which may hinder his ability to cooperate with therapist. This part also evaluate impact of the therapy based patient's...

The influence of hallux on stand and gait stability
Hlinková, Zuzana ; Valouchová, Petra (advisor) ; Bitnar, Petr (referee)
The diploma thesis "Vliv palce nohy na stabilitu stoje a chůze" is focused on the function of hallux at stance and through the gait cycle and particularly to halluxes influence on stability of the stated motor stereotypes. The theoretical part summarizes the knowledge gained through literature research on anatomy and kinesiology of hallux. It also contains analysis of gait cycle and muscle coordination through it with emphasis upon activity of foot and function of hallux muscles. The practical part attempts to objectivize changes in stability and changes of loading of foot with instrumental examination. Force plate Balance Master® and GaitPlatform FDM were used for the measurements. On the force plate the parametres of movement of the centre of mass (COM, COG) and maintenance of stability while standing were compared. GaitPlatform® was used for measurement of ground reaction forces while standing and walking. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
