BENEŠOVÁ, Gabriela
This thesis deals with deformities of the lower limbs in children with physical disability. Theoretical part of this thesis deals with various issues of disability of lower limbs and their impact on human health. Comprehensively introduce the development of lower limbs, walking significance for the organism and diseases that affect the quality of the legs and their health. Furthermore this thesis deals with the importance of foot and arches of the foot which is also connected to the possibility of influencing walk and body using assistive technologies such as insoles or shoes itself. The practical part of thesis is built using case studies involving four patients. The research was conducted in rehabilitation center Arpida in České Budějovice carried out between November 2014 and March 2015 in children aged 4 to 6 lets disabilities manifested to some extent in the lower limbs. The probands I met once every week ranging from 30 40 minutes. Some part of the research was examine patients, taking medical history and therapies based on this solution. Part of a training unit was to develop movements abilities of children and improve movements stereotype mitigation or eliminate the problems associated with the disease, I used techniques Vojta reflex locomotion, practicing balance and proper walking stereotype, soft and mobilization techniques in the legs and the facilitation of the slab. In the work itself I focused on children with disabilities and their lower limbs. I chose to research using four casuistry, which include anamnesis data and determinate input and output tests and describe therapy, which was carried out with patients. In these examinations were surveyed overall objective investigation, aspection, palpation, inspection walk and motor skills as well as testing on Podoskop and elucidation of locomotion stage by professor Vojta. The result of the practical should be explore how they can be therapeutically affected by lower limb deformities in preschool children with disabilities through appropriate exercises and using appropriate assistive devices. The second objective was to design and create a training unit to improve patient complains. The results confirm that at least to a small degree was given by the subject achieved a positive effect of therapy in relatively short time. These thesis can be used for physiotherapy students dealing with this issue or as an educational component for parents of children who have a similar problem. It can also become an inspiration for parents or therapists in the treatment of specific diagnoses concerning the issue of the lower limbs, but also a holistic view on patient.
