Procházková, Marie ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Stupková, Michaela (referee)
Title: Possibilities of monitoring and evaluation of accompanying non-locomotor manifestacions during reflex locomotion according to Vojta Objectives: The aim of study is to determine suitable conditions for measuring and evaluating non-locomotor manifestations. Furthermore, to clarify whether there are changes in the accompanying non-locomotor manifestations during the stimulation of trigger zones from the concept of Vojta's principle. Accompanying non-locomotor manifestations are mainly manifestations of the autonomic nervous system. Measurement of respiratory rate, heart rate and swallowing rate was chosen to evaluate these parameters. Methods: The research was conducted on 7 adult subject for measuring respiratory and heart rate and 12 adult subject for measuring swallowing frequency. These were healthy women aged 18-30. Data were obtained from a CamNtech Actiheard compact ECG sensor and from a video recording. Each proband was first measured for a resting ECG and then measured during activaton of the thoracic trigger zone from the Vojta concept, twice in a row for fifteen minutes. One measurement was performed with the eyes open, the other with the eyes closed, the order was randomized. The obtained data were processed into a video recording and evaluated for each proband separately. It was...

Evaluation of the short-term effect of physiotherapeutic techniques on spasticity in patients with spinal cord injury
Špačková, Anežka ; Hlinková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Kříž, Jiří (referee)
The subject of this thesis is spasticity in individuals with spinal lesions. The aim is to evaluate and compare a short-term effect of selected physio-therapeutic methods on spasticity of lower limbs in spinal patients. Two methods of comparison were chosen - passive stretching and the Vojta's reflex therapy. The work consists of two parts. The theoretical part describes the problems of spinal lesions, central motoneuron syndrome and spasticity, including its pathophysiology and investigation and therapeutic approaches. The practical part contains an attempt to verify and subsequently compare the immediate antispastic effect of the chosen methods, which is an important prerequisite for the following active exercises as an inseparable part of a physiotherapeutic exercise unit. Clinical evaluation scales are used to evaluate spasticity, namely Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and Muscle Excitability Scale (MES). The results are then compared with other studies and literature. Keywords spinal lesions, quadriplegia, Modified Ashworth Scale, Muscle Excitability Scale, Vojta's method, stretching

Measuring electrical brain activity during stimulation of trigger zones from concept of Vojta principle
Martínek, Milan ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title: Measuring electrical brain activity during stimulation of trigger zones from concept of Vojta principle Objectives: The aim of this study is to clarify whether there is a change in the electrical brain activity evaluated by the sLORETA program during the stimulation of trigger zones according to the Vojta concept. The source activity during stimulation of trigger zones was scanned from the scalp EEG and compared with the sLORETA program with the source activity measured at rest, before and after the stimulation of the trigger zones. Methods: The research was conducted on 11 healthy adult subjects. The entire research group is consisted of women aged in range 19-32. The data was obtained from the scalp EEG before, during and after stimulation of trigger zones according to Vojta concept. For each proband the measurement of resting EEG with both open and closed eyes (2 x 10 minutes) was first performed, then the measurements were taken during the stimulation of trigger zones with open and closed eyes (2 x 15 minutes). Finally, a resting EEG was measured, alternating open and closed eyes after five minutes (4 x 5 minutes). There was a pause of at least 15 minutes between each stimulation of trigger zones. The order of open and closed eyes during resting EEG and during stimulation of trigger...

Stimulation of person with physical and multiple disabilities through Vojta's therapeutic concept
Kotrbatá, Eliška ; Hájková, Vanda (advisor) ; Marádová, Eva (referee)
Diploma Thesis - Stimulation of person with physical and multiple disabilities through Vojta's therapeutic concept - is about aplication of Vojta's reflex locomotion method at newborns and infants.The theoretical assessment is describing the development, basic principles and the use of this method. Vojta's special diagnosing will be also addressed. The next major chapter will be the description of muscular dystrophy and consisting of basic division, description of diagnosing principals and treatment. One chapter is dedicated to Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and its manifestation and difficulties with the diagnosis. Empirical data is being collected through a questionnaire which was given to parents with newborns and infants and will provide a complex vision analysis on Vojta's method and its application to newborn and infants born with physical and multiple disabilities.

Vojta reflex locomotion impact to the locomotor system of the patients with spinal cord
Kohutová, Veronika ; Špaňhelová, Šárka (advisor) ; Hyšperská, Veronika (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the Vojta method therapy impact to the muscles function of the upper limbs of patients with tetraplegia. This is a pilot study, which was attended by five probands. To objectify the results, the method of surface electromyography was adopted. EMG activity of 14 muscles of the upper limbs and shoulder girdle during selected movements before and after therapy was recorded. The choice of therapeutic positions and activation zones was individual. Although a few muscles show significant changes, statistically considerable influence of the therapy cannot be confirmed from the obtained results. But from the point of view of clinical observation and patients 'subjective feelings an obvious difference can be seen. Therefore, it may be in the future advantageous to monitor the impact of Vojta method to locomotor system through clinical methods such as functional tests, tests of independence, range of motion or kinematic analysis.
