Kapustová, Eliška ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Malá, Jitka (referee)
Title: Scheuermann's disease and its most recent approaches to conservative treatment - a systematic review Objective: This diploma thesis aims to evaluate the most commonly used therapeutic approaches in adolescents with Morbus Scheuermann and analyze which of the physiotherapeutic approaches are most effective. Methods: This diploma thesis is processed as a systematic review search using databases PubMed, Scopus, EBSCOhost, Web of Science, Science Direct. The first part of this thesis contains the current knowledge and theoretical bases of Morbus Scheuermann. The second part has a descriptive-analytical character. It contains an analysis of a study where was used conservative movement therapy. Results: After the final review of the studies, only 1 study was qualified to be included in this research. The study examined the effectiveness of treatment of Scheuermann's disease using the Schroth method. Because only one study was used in the review, it is not possible to evaluate the results of the studies. It is also not possible to interpret, which conservative therapy is the most effective. However, the study showed higher effectiveness of therapy in patients enrolled in the intervention group, using the Schroth method. Keywords Morbus Scheuermann; juvenile kyphosis; Scheuermann's kyphosis;...

Morbus Scheuermann in children
Jánská, Anna ; Ježková, Martina (advisor) ; Dyrhonová, Olga (referee)
Scheuermann's disease is one of the most frequent causes of structural kyphosis in adolescents with no gender predominance. The bachelor's thesis "Morbus Scheuermann in children" deals with the overall issue of Scheuermann's kyphosis. The thesis summarizes findings about the clinical picture, etiology, diagnostics, stages of the disease, and points to a crucial influence of kinetic activity as an integral part of the treatment. A significant part of the thesis is focused on an overview of therapeutic methods and approaches which are most frequently used to influence the disease. In the conclusion of the thesis, there is a brief characterization of corset therapy, surgical treatment and a summary of the most frequent complications of the disease. The thesis is supplemented with a casuistry of a patient with m. Scheuermann, accompanied by a short term and a long term rehabilitation plan.

Physiotherapy of patients with Morbus Scheuermann diagnosis
JÁNSKÝ, Jiří
This work focuses on morbus Scheuermann, its essence and possibilities in therapy of patients. The aim of this thesis is to make the reader familiar with a disease, which has an unknown origin, and to verify the positive benefits of physical activity for the patient's condition. The work is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with the Scheuermann's disease. I am trying to approach the nature of the disease, its etiology, the possibilities in diagnosing of the disease and the treatment options. Also there is a chapter devoted to the possibilities of today's physiotherapy, which is an inherent part of the treatment of any disease. The theoretical part is processed like research from the sources listed in the work. In the practical part, I focused on the possibilities of exercise therapy for patients with this disease. I created a consistent exercise plan, according to which the chosen clients exercised. The plan is focused on improving spinal mobility, stretching of shortened muscle groups, strengthening of weak muscles and overall correction of lateral imbalances of the patient's bodies. Before the beginning of the exercise, I examined clients. After that, the patients began to follow my proposed short-term and long-term plan. After three months, I examined these patients, using the same methods as I used before the exercise. Then I compared the results to see the effect of physical activity on the course of the disease and its consequences. The work also offers a long-term plan in which advising the patient and suggesting possible ways how to improve his/hers working conditions, adjust his faulty movement patterns and also which sport activities are suitable for him/her. All three patients reported improvement in all aspects, on which I focused in the short-term plan. Be it a lateral asymmetry, or the strengthening of the muscle corset. The results imply that physical activity is suitable as a correction method of already existing lateral imbalances and kyphotic posture. There is also the possibility of using exercise as rehabilitation after the disease. The fact, that physical therapy is an important supplement to the conservative therapy, especially to the bracing therapy, is undisputed nowadays. The main result of this thesis is that the right physical activities are beneficial for the therapy of the spine deforming disease, as well as for the risk reduction of segment mobility impairment occurrence.
