Zámečník, Marek ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Satrapová, Lenka (referee)
Autor: Marek Zámečník Title: Evaluation of the dynamic postural stability of extraleague players of Czech rugby Objective: The aim of this work is to evaluate the dynamic postural stability of extraleague players of Czech rugby and to compare its quality with the common population, occasional athletes and non-rugby players. Methods: Measurements will be performed on the NeuroCom® EquiTest® device, which I had available at the Kinesiology laboratory at the UK FTVS. There was tested 20 subjects divided into 2 groups by 10 people. First group of rugby players and the second group of non-rugby players. The age of all subjects ranges from 20 to 35 years. Results: There are no statistically significant differences in measured values. Most of the mean values of all stability tests (SOT, MCT, HS-SOT) have shown that rugby have a reduced ability to provide dynamic postural stability. Average scores for visual acuity testing have shown poor results in rugby, which may be caused by frequent injuries of head, face and eyes. Keywords: Dynamic postural stability, rugby, equitest, posture, balance

Use of virtual reality to evaluate dynamic postural stability in beachvoleyball players
Hlaváčková, Anna ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Stupková, Michaela (referee)
Title: Use of virtual reality to evaluate the dynamic postural stability in beachvoleyball players Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate if the dynamic postural stability of trained beachvoleyball players is affected by training. Also I tried to evaluate, if the final score of equilibrium will be higher, than in regular population. For testing was also used virtual reality to stimulate vestibular apparatus. Virtual reality was used as a disturbing element. NeuroCom Smart Equi Test was used as an evaluation factor of dynamic postural stbility. Methods: The research involved a total of 20 females - 10 beachvoleyball players and 10 healthy persons performing activities of daily living. We investigated dynamic postural stability on device called NeuroCom Smart Equi Test. For evaluation of dynamic postural stability was used Head Shake Test - Sensory Organisation Test. This test was taken twice, second time after intervetion by virtual reality. Data were analyzed by statistical t-test method. Result: Statisticly significant result was found only in the case of a Sensory Organisation Test condiition 5 and 6 in comparison between both groups and Head Shake test-SOT2 in latero- lateral movement of the head at the controle group. The results confirmed the effect of playing beachvoleyball on...

The influence of pregnancy on static and dynamic postural stability
Palanová, Alžběta ; Stupková, Michaela (advisor) ; Malá, Jitka (referee)
Title: Influence of pregnancy on static and dynamic postural stability Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the influence of pregnancy on the static and dynamic postural stability using the dynamic computerized posturography. Another objective of this thesis is to determine which one of sensory inputs (visual, somatosensory, vestibular) plays the most important role in the control of postural stability during pregnancy with the help of various posturographic tests. Based on literature search to characterize changes in the organism of pregnant woman, which are responsible for postural instability in gravidity. Methods: One healthy pregnant woman was enrolled in this longitudinal study. She was evaluated in terms of static and dynamic postural stability using the dynamic computerized posturograph NeuroCom®. Posturographic tests were performed once every two or three weeks in the period from the 16th week of pregnancy until the 37th week of pregnancy and consisted of a battery of diagnostic tests of the module Smart EquiTest System. The data were processed in the program NeuroCom Data Analyzer. Results: The results demonstrate that there is an increased reliance on sensory inputs to maintain balance during pregnancy. Limitation of visual and proprioceptive components of stability...
