Creating and verifying the targeted compensation program based on the method FMS? (Functional Movement Systems) for clients of Local Gym in České Budějovice
POPELKOVÁ, Eliška
Functional movement screen (FMS) is a tool for rating of selective basic movement patterns and determines pontential risk of injury. The aim was to desing and verify corrective exercises based on the results of FMS for new clients of the Local Gym in České Budějovice. 17 participants attended the screen (12 women and 5 men) in age of 26 to 61 years. All of them underwent the FMS, evaluatuon was conducted according to standardized criteria of FMS. We subsequently designed the corrective excercises, and after three months we retested the clients who regulary exercise twice a week during the lessons in the Local Gym. After comparing the results of the entrance test and retest we can say the most of clients have improved.

Possibilities of physiotherapy for children with faulty posture in middle school age
MAREŠOVÁ, Barbora
This thesis focuses on incorrect body posture of older school-age children and possibilities of physiotherapeutic methods that can be used for this particular age stage. Incorrect body posture is often included among social diseases that are to a great degree caused by lack of exercise and one-sided life style. Generally it is about remaining in static positions and decrease of physically demanding work. The aim of my work is to outline the problem involving children of this particular age range and to evaluate the influence of physiotherapeutic treatment with older school-age patients having incorrect body posture. Theoretical part of the thesis describes correct body postures, muscular chains involved in torso stabilisation, anatomy of deep stabilisation system and incorrect body posture itself. The next chapter deals with older school-age stage from somatic and motor development viewpoint. The last chapter describes physiotherapeutic methods that can be used to treat this health issue. For the empirical part of the paper I chose qualitative research method with two girls of older school-age. Each of them was instructed with a series of set exercises they were to do at home during the whole therapy time approx. 10 weeks. In addition to that, they came in for 9 sessions, during which we focused on their incorrect body posture and other acute problems they had. Short-term and long-term physiotherapeutic plan was proposed based on the anamnesis and kinesiological analysis gained at the beginning and at the end of the therapy. Examples of several exercises aimed at chosen topic are enclosed. This thesis can serve both the professional and the lay public in order to inform them about possibilities of different physiotherapeutic methods that can be used when treating incorrect body posture.

Physiotherapy procedures affecting flat foot and their another effect on posture in preschool children
BOČANOVÁ, Lucie
This thesis deals with the relationship between the flat foot and overall posture in preschool children. The foot is an important organ for the proper functioning of the entire musculoskeletal system. It mainly provides the standing and the human locomotion. Thanks to receptors ,stored in structures legs CNS (central nervous system) , it obtains information about the surrounding environment. If its function is impaired, occurs due to long muscle chains affecting other body segments. One of the most frequent deformity is flat foot, which is characterized by a reduction or disappearance of the longitudinal arch of the foot. The arches of the foot are essential for the proper function of the foot. It creates three footholds, into their centre of gravity falls man. The aim of this work is to use the stimulation of the soles and use exercises through which will improve the position of the foot arch in preschool children. The exercise unit was chosen individually for each patient. It contained mostly exercises with the element of games that children were able to hold their attention during therapy. The exercises I chose are not only on the soles, but also on the dynamic exercises, involving the participation of the entire musculoskeletal system. Another aim is to map the impact of flat feet in overall posture. The area of the leg is very important for the entire musculoskeletal system its links with higher tiers through the muscular chain. In the theoretical part of this work is presented information about the issue. The first part contains a discussion of foot anatomy and her kinesiology . There are also expressed basic functions of the legs. A significant section of the theoretical site composes arches of the foot and its dysfunction.The most common deformity which is defined here is a deformity of the foot arch, flat foot. The last topic of theoretical part deals with the relationship between flat feet and posture. The practical part was prepared by qualitative research in the form of case studies. The research group consisted of three patients - two boys aged 4 and 5 years, one girl aged 6 years. Therapy took place for 12 weeks where children practiced daily under supervised instructed parents. During the first and the last therapy I carried the input and output assessment, which includes an objective evaluation of the slab using fingerprints. The therapy I had set individually according to the needs of each patient. The results of this work can be assessed that the therapy of the flat foot we can affect the entire musculoskeletal system. In all patients after three months are visible changes not only in the slab, but also in the torso area. For this reason, the area of the feet should not be overlooked.

Physiotherapy of adolescents in specific sport exercise - kickboxing
MAŠKOVÁ, Adéla
It is a trend nowadays to have rather inauspicious sedentary lifestyle. One of the main factors which influence lifestyle of children and juvenile is family. If the parents are inactive then they frequently but unconsciously teach their descendants to see displeasure in doing any physical activity. Insufficient physical activity leads to development of numerous lifestyle diseases and as well is closely connected with problems of musculoskeletal system. Sports activities are substitution for a lack of exercise. Sports have positive impact on our physical and mental health. We should pay attention while choosing a specific sport particularly when it comes to choosing a sport for children and juvenile. We can find many sports activities which are focused one-sidedly. Such one-sided burdening leads to the formation of functional disorders, musculoskeletal pain and in case of a long-term duration without sufficient compensation it might cause health problems and poor posture. Functional and postural disorders have a negative impact on athletic performance, they might worsen the quality of musculoskeletal system and even to eliminate athlete from the training process. An ideal way how to avoid the musculoskeletal difficulties is the utilization of physiotherapeutic procedures and methods by means of those it will help the movement compensation and muscular harmonization. In the theoretical part I am describing a piece of knowledge, which is related to body posture. I introduce tests, which will help us to evaluate and clarify a poor posture. To help us understand the issue therefore the basic fighting techniques, which are used in kickboxing, are explained here its characteristics and the classification of racing disciplines. Furthermore I introduce physiotherapeutic methods, which we can use, for influencing the poor body posture. The main goal of my bachelor thesis was to find out, what influence has a kickboxing training on the body posture of adolescents and if the use of physiotherapeutic methods will have a positive impact on their posture. In the practical part of my final thesis the method of qualitative research was used. The research file was comprised of three probands visiting kickboxing lessons for at least one year. The probands went through entry and final Kinesiological examination, which evaluated their body posture. Everyone of them was diagnosed with functional disorders and muscular imbalance. Everyone slightly improved their posture after two months of therapy. For the complete improvement of the body posture would be needed longer period of time than a given two months time. Performed research led to the realization of my goals and to an answer of the research question. The Bachelor Thesis can serve the professional and non-professional public. Specifically it can be used by martial arts coaches to enhance the quality of training and to improve the sports performances.

Shoes and its effect on the foot and posture
KRÁSNÁ, Jana
This thesis in focused on the influence of footwear not only directly on the foot and its sole but also on the posture and body as a whole. The foot is firstly the organ that enables movement of the locomotive system but which also provides direct contact with the surroundings and the way of getting information about it through proprioception. The foot also enables "keeping" to the ground we move on. It is connected through the muscle system with the levels above and so mutual influence of all body segments is established. The posture of lumbar spine, the function of the diaphragm, posture of the cervical spine and of the shoulder joints are the most important. Due to the fact that we spend two thirds of the day, or 16 hours a day, wearing shoes, their influence cannot be insignificant. Most types of shoes hinder the above mentioned functions of the feet through their faulty construction and their influence can be described more as that of a splint. Wearing some shoes can bring completely unnatural or even pathological foot posture which through the muscle systems further influences faulty posture of higher body segments. Data for this research were obtained using qualitative research with 12 students of the University of South Bohemia participating. The research group was divided into three categories by the type of worn footwear (naked, sport and healed footwear respectively). Subjective examination of the standing posture as well as examination using a lead was conducted. The walking gait was examined first barefoot, then in normal wear and finally on narrowed base. Finally the examination of the foot was performed where activity and function was tested using the Véle method, further the toe abduction and the grip tests. The aim of this research was to map the influences of wearing the different types of shoes on the body as a whole. The results show that a foot capable of full activity and function is closely connected to the correct activity of the diaphragm. On the contrary, with pathological function of the foot the function of the higher body segments will be influenced negatively. The foot is therefore concluded to play a major role in the function of the locomotive system and should always be taken into account in physiotherapy.

The influence of flat feet onto the posture of children at school age
ŤUPOVÁ, Jana
The bachelor thesis is describing problems of the impact of flat feet on school age children´s posture. The foot is the organ that allows contact with the terrain. In case it´s functional component is changed pathologically to some extent, it fails to work properly and can change the whole posture of particular individual in pathological way. Flat feet is a condition of foot when the arch of the foot flattened partly or completely. Arch of the foot enables us flexible treading contact and is defined with three support points: calcaneus and the heads of the first and the fifth metatarsals. They develop and change during one´s lifetime. The appearance of flat feet during the first two years of life is considered as a physiological condition. The appearance of the flat feet later in childhood is viewed as a deformity and needs more examinations and some therapy. Some studies showed that early treatment of flat feet can prevent later unwanted manifestations, and that is why flat feet in children should not be underestimated. Flat feet in children is the most often cause for the visit at a doctor. Children´s flat feet is the topic that needs to be very often consulted at any level of the health care. It is not completely clear, when the foot is still considered as physiologically flat without any pathological cause and when it is considered as pathological flat feet. The purpose of the thesis was to describe links between flat feet and posture. The foot is the key area for motor system and that is why its disorder or malfunction can become the cause and also the consequence of chain functional disorders. That is the reason why the foot area should not be disregarded. Another goal was to suggest exercise units and search out appropriate exercises concerning described problems. Exercise unit was designed individually for each participant according to one´s needs. The first exercise unit has been modified gradually according to participants´ skills to master the exercise. The modification was however essential to keep children´s attention up during the therapy. The thesis consists of the theoretical and practical sections. The practical section contains information about the foot from anatomical, neurological, and kinesiological view and its pathology that is affecting posture. The therapy lasted 10 weeks, children have been exercising from ten to fifteen minutes a day with supervision of parents who were instructed about the exercise, and twice a week individually, under my supervision, and also in parents´ present. The investigation was carried out using interview with parents and children, and also using kinesiological analysis. There was carried out entry and exit assessments in children´s group. They were used to determine proper therapy at the start and also for the conclusion from results at the end. For each participant was designed proper therapy according to one´s needs. The goal of physiotherapy was determined as well as recommended certain type of exercise and proper exercise activity for all children in long time horizon. Our findings showed that proper therapy in children with flat feet can positively influence whole posture. When the entry and exit examinations were compared, we found that there was found greater range of ankle joint motion, positive change in flat feet condition, better body control, the change of breathing mechanics, and also participants´ personal view of better self body control. I have chosen the topic to bring closer problems of flat feet affecting body control in children. The foot area is an integral part of our body. When the arches of foot flatten, position of whole lower limb in joints and complete body posture is negatively affected.

Contribution to Usage Postural System at Stripping Logopaedia Defects
ŠAFÁŘOVÁ, Michaela
This work focuses on the use of a postural system in logopedy (speech therapy). Based on theoretical knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology and logopedy, it explains the influence of a posture on respiration, phonation and articulation. The work mainly concerns the head region and phonatory system in connection with posture and respiration. The possibility is also suggested of incorporating the postural system into logopedic excercises in from of correct sitting position based on the so-called ?cogged wheel model?. The subject of this study was a group of five preschool children with cerebral palsy diagnosis under the care of a voluntary association Arpida in České Budějovice.

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.

Effect of pelvic floor muscles in the deep stabilization system
KOTALÍKOVÁ, Kateřina
The bachelor thesis deals with back pain issues from the viewpoint of function. Backbone is an articulated axial organ and its stability, in addition to passive structures, is secured with long multi-articular muscles but their stabilization function is not sufficient. The stability is further improved with other muscular groups called a deep stabilization system (DSS). DSS in the trunk is made up on the dorsal side with short musculi multifidi, cranially with the diaphragm, ventrally with musculus transversus abdominis and caudally with the pelvic floor. The objective of the theoretical part has been to map the existing methods which affect the deep stabilization system with involvement of pelvic floor. The theoretical part contains an anatomic description of individual components of DSS, available methods of examination and particularly methodical procedures focusing on affecting of the system, mainly by involvement of pelvic floor. The objective of the practical part was to find out whether the pelvic floor has any influence on activation of the deep stabilization system and also what is the effect of gender on the involvement of pelvic floor in the course of performed physiotherapeutic procedures. The thesis has used the method of qualitative research. The research was conducted on 4 probands from my environs, who suffered from occasional pain in the backbone area and who were in the entry examination diagnosed with a disorder of frontal stability of the backbone. The monitoring lasted for ca. 2 months. The deep stabilization system was involved in all the probands. The first impulse for it, however, was the activation of pelvic floor. The therapy was concluded with a final examination which has shown that it was important to involve pelvic floor in order to activate the deep stabilization system (DSS). This has also contributed to the fulfillment of the objective in the research part. The results have been processed in the form of case studies. The bachelor thesis can be used in clinical practice of physiotherapists and some parts of it can be used as an educational material for patients.

Yoga and its significance in physiotherapy
SUDICKÝ, Milan
The bachelor{\crq}s thesis deals with the position and possibilities of wide-ranging use of yoga in modern physiotherapy. Yoga is an integral discipline looking upon humans as a whole. It does not divide them into separate parts, such as body, mind, psyche. In the past few decades yoga established itself in medical sciences and as an effective means of preventing civilization diseases, in rehabilitation and also as an auxiliary method of treating before all psychosomatic disorders. This way yoga has become an integral part of modern medicine. Yoga moves are very relaxed, slow, intentional, actively controlled and coordinated with breathing. As such these moves can be called reeducational, thus rectifying wrong movement patterns. By means of yoga one-sided overstrain of the locomotor apparatus can be set right very well, consequently establishing its well-proportioned load. Moreover, other existing treatment procedures can be supported effectively by establishing psychosomatic balance. The theoretical part of the thesis presents physiological principles of how yoga techniques work and describes the present-day position of yoga in physiotherapy. The thesis aims at showing the possibilities of wide-ranging application of yoga in physiotherapy, mainly for the benefit of influencing posture, breathing pattern, spine and joint mobility and improving the psychic condition of the patients. Qualitative research approach was applied using the following techniques: an interview, an examination by sight, body and posture assessment, the spine mobility examination, the examination of the passive movement range of the hip joint, the STAI questionnaire, and secondary analysis of the data. The study sample comprised three probands who took part in a six-month public yoga course during the research. Conducted examinations result in the fact that yoga exercises lead to regulation of the breathing pattern, to posture improvement and to balancing the psyche of the gymnasts. The thesis points out the fact that applying yoga techniques in physioteraphy to a larger extent can bring new possibilities of treating wrong body posture, solving vertebrogenic troubles and regulating breathing movements. The bachelor{\crq}s thesis can further on be used in clinical work of physiotherapists, but also for the needs of common yoga gymnasts.
