Specifics of physiotherapy in patients with bronchial asthma
KONEČNÁ, Tereza
The bachelor thesis deals with the possibilities of physiotherapy in patients with asthma bronchiale. The aim of the theoretical part of the thesis is to describe the problem of bronchial asthma and to describe the possibilities of physiotherapy for patients suffering from asthma. The theoretical part of the thesis includes a comprehensive description of the disease, specifically definition, prevalence, etiopathogenesis, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, classification of the disease and treatment options. The anatomy of the respiratory system, respiratory muscles, a description of physiological breathing and its pathology in asthmatics is also included. A relatively large part of the theoretical part consists of physiotherapy options. Asthma bronchiale is a chronic inflammatory disease of the respiratory tract manifested by symptoms of bronchial obstruction such as dyspnoea, cough, wheezing phenomena when breathing and chest pressure. The disease can be accompanied by asthma attacks of varying frequency and severity, which can be life-threatening. The cause of these difficulties is the presence of chronic inflammation in the bronchi together with their hyperreactivity. The prevalence of asthma continues to rise worldwide, along with the increasing prevalence of allergic diseases, which may be influenced by the worsening air quality. Asthma bronchiale is an incurable disease that affects people of all ages. With timely diagnosis and the use of pharmacological treatment, the symptoms of the disease can be eliminated and thus the disease can be controlled. Diseases of the respiratory system also have a negative effect on the musculoskeletal system, so physiotherapy has its place in the comprehensive treatment of asthma. Physiotherapy treatment focuses mainly on restoring the correct breathing pattern, correcting body posture, eliminating muscle imbalances and improving physical fitness. The aim of the practical part of the thesis is to propose physiotherapy procedures suitable for patients with bronchial asthma and to evaluate their effect. The form of qualitative research has been chosen for the practical part. The research includes 3 case studies of adult patients with asthma. Input and output kinesiology examinations have been performed, based on which comparison the results have been described

Influence of the respiratory stereotype on the posture in children of preschool age
Dřízhalová, Helena ; Dvořáková, Hana (advisor) ; Vojtíková, Lenka (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with assessment of the respiratory stereotype in a group of preschool children and its influence on the posture. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part includes the respiratory stereotype focusing on its mechanics in children, the physiological respiratory wave, the postural function of the diaphragm and correct posture. A separate chapter is the pathophysiology of breath movements and their influence on the posture. The practical part deals with the evaluation of respiratory stereotype in children of preschool age, body posture and assessment of postural stabilization in the research file. The results show the possible relationship between breathing and posture and reflect the selected deviations of the faulty posture in children aged 4.5-7.5 years. KEYWORDS Respiratory stereotype, correct posture, posture, children of preschool age
