Influence of sedentary work on human posture from the perspective of physiotherapist
RAZIMOVÁ, Kateřina
The subject of my Bachelor?s thesis is the influence of sedentary job on human posture from the view of a physiotherapist. Theoretical part of the thesis includes generally the description of posture, problems with motor system caused by longtime sitting, ergonomics and suitable ergonomic chair. Great attention is devoted to a technique of correct sitting and other variations of sitting. In the end of the theoretical part I tried to make a description of compensatory exercise, techniques or methods suitable for therapy of problems caused as a result of sedentary job. The aim of the practical part was to find out the informedness of patients, whether they know what risks a sedentary job bears and their interest in prevention. The ultimate goal was to create a set of recommended compensatory exercises. Especially helpful to me in accomplishing the above stated goals were the following methods and techniques of qualitative research ? unstructured interviews, participated observation, kinesiological analysis and questionnaire. Examined group was made from three patients working in sedentary jobs, who have developed typical problems caused by longtime sitting. First of all, I asked the patients questions in the from of questionnaire in order to determine previously set goals. During the therapy, first of all an anamnesis was taken, followed by visual examination, palpation, examination of gait, examination by plumb line, goniometry of root joints, cervical spine and wrists. Then it was followed by examination of spine mobility, diaphragmal test, therapy itself and suitably chosen compensatory exercise. A short-term and long-tern rehabilitation plan was set for all patients. According to personal discretion, I recommended them suitable ergonomic lay-out of workplace; I mainly focused on motivation for a correct posture and carrying out compensatory exercise.
