Name: Veronika Lučanská Supervisor: Mgr. Jakub Jeníček Opponent: Title of bachelor thesis: Comparison of Orthotic Effect between an Ankle Foot Orthosis and a Functional Peroneal Electrostimulation on Gait in Patients after Stroke. Abstract: This bachelor's thesis is focused on comparing orthotic effect between an ankle foot orthosis and a functional peroneal electrostimulation on gait in patients after stroke. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate and compare orthotic effect of AFO and FPES. Footscan® and video analysis were both used for examining gait. This thesis consists of both theoretical and practical sections. The theoretical part contains basic knowledge on stroke and hemiparetic gait, focusing on foot-drop. It also contains a review of several studies describing the effect ofAFO and FPES. In practical section of this thesis, two different patients will be used as case studies. These patients were measured without any aid, with AFO and then again with FPES. The variables evaluated are velocity of gait, length of stance phase, movement of center of plantar pressure and gait stereotype. Data from dynamic plantography is then evaluated and compared via tables, graphs and via photos. Key words: stroke, foot-drop, functional electrostimulation, ankle foot orthosis, footscan

Impact of nape massage on postural stability
Novák, Matěj ; Nováková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Hošková, Blanka (referee)
Title: Impact of nape massage on postural stability Objectives: The aim of this work is to find out if sport nape massage has an effect on postural stability. Methods: The research was realized in form of quaziexperiment which was attended by 5 probands. Result of the measurement is consist of comparing the difference of postural stability before and after the nape massage. The results were obtained by Footscan pressure platform in Laboratory of sports motor skills at UK FTVS. At first we measured proband's weight and height, after that we measured postural stability. Then we performed nape massage on proband. And after the massage we measured again the postural stability. Results: In the overall summary of the results of all measured stands, there was an improvement after massage in the parameter TTW (total travelled way) by 6,12 %. This value indicates a slight improvement, but statistically nothing significant happened. The results of lower limbs load ratio were also positive, when after applying nape massage there was improvement by 35,5 %. This means that in our research with five probands, nape massage had a positive effect on level of static postural stability. Keywords: balance, footscan, sport massage, nape area

Influencing the gait pattern in patients after stroke employing Vojta reflex locomotion
Makarova, Yaroslava ; Brožová, Kamila (advisor) ; Jeníček, Jakub (referee)
The title of the thesis: Influencing the gait pattern in patients after stroke employing Vojta reflex locomotion Abstract: This bachelor thesis provides insight into Vojta reflex locomotion method and it's influence on gait quality amongst patients after stroke. Vojta reflex locomotion method is used quite rarely amongst such patients, yet it's field of application is expanding continuously. Use of this method makes it possible to affect complex and almost inaccessible muscular interactivities amongst patients suffering from central paresis, so it can positively affect gait or other parameters necessary for patient's locomotion. In this thesis two patients were studied. Both of them had completed eight forty-minute sessions of therapy during one month. Therapy was performed in two coordination complexes - reflex creeping and reflex rolling. The results were evaluated using certain tests, such as Timed Up and Go test, Rivermead visual gait assessment and Footscan gait analysis. Both patients had experienced certain stability improvements during kinesiological examination. Key words: Vojta reflex locomotion, stroke, gait, Footscan, neuroplasticity

BACHELOR THESIS ABSTRACT Author's first name and surname: Markéta Zárubová Bachelor thesis supervizor: Mgr. Barbora Pochylová Oponent: Title of bachelor thesis: The effect of foot stimulation on postural stability of patients after stroke - objectivisation by a footscan Abstract: This bachelor thesis is focused on determining the effect of foot stimulation on the postural stability of stroke patients using stimulation aids. Three hemiparetic patients have been chosen for this thesis. The therapeutic effect has been analyzed using the Footscan®7.x system, a noninvasive method showing the foot sole pressure distribution. Measurements have been taken before and after foot stimulation in several standing modifications: standing on a broad basis and standing on a narrow basis. In each of these two standing modifications, measurements with eyes opened and closed have been taken. Three different types of stimulation aids have been used in each patient item-by-item. Values of the parameters before and after foot stimulation were entered into tables allowing for the comparison of all three aids. The results are presented in tables and graphs. Key words: Postural stability, stroke, footscan, foot, stimulation aids
