The use of the OhmTrak device in self-treatment of patients with back pain
Tyburcová, Marie ; Kobesová, Alena (advisor) ; Jačisko, Jakub (referee)
Introduction: Impaired trunk stabilization is a frequent cause of chronic low back pain (CLBP). Trunk stabilization training can reduce back pain. Aim: To determine the effect of the OhmTrak (OT) trunk stabilization training device following Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) principles in patients with CLBP. Methods: A single-blind randomized clinical trial. The investigator did not know to which group the participant belonged. 20 patients with CLBP were randomly divided into 2 groups. 10 patients included in the experimental group underwent six-week DNS training focusing on optimal trunk stabilization. The participants had a treatment session with a physiotherapist once a week. Experimental group patients were educated in self- treatment with the OT device which they performed for 15 minutes 5 times a week. The control group patients (n=10) underwent the same rehabilitation program of the same duration and frequency including the self-treatment. Control group participants performed self-treatment without the OT device. Before the start and at the end of the 6 weeks therapy program the ability to activate the abdominal wall was assessed using DNS Brace device in all participants from both groups. All patients from both groups completed the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire at...

Objectification of the effect of physiotherapy on the activation of the abdominal wall in patients with chronic low back pain
Hoffmannová, Barbora ; Kobesová, Alena (advisor) ; Zahradník, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis in the form of research deals with the issue of vertebrogenic lumbar spine syndrome, its formation, examination and therapy and possibilities of objectification of therapy. The theoretical resumes the present knowledge of motor control, postural functions, spinal stabilization system and vertebrogenic lumbar spine syndrome. It also provides possibilities for therapeutic influence and objectifying physiotherapy. The thesis also presents two case studies of vertebrogenic lumbar spine syndrome, which were examined with a new Ohm belt device that measures the strength of postural stabilization and abdominal wall activity. The parameters of spinal stabilization and the amount of activation of the abdominal wall were measured before and after treatment, and the results were compared. The subjective effect of therapy was evaluated by a standardized Oswestry questionnaire assessing pain and disability. Measurement results in both patients in increased activation of the abdominal wall after therapeutic intervention. The result correlates with the subjective perception of therapy of reducing pain and alleviating disability in both patients. Keywords vertebrogenic lumbar spine syndrome, spinal stabilization, objectification of therapy, Ohm belt, Oswestry questionnaire
