Physiotherapeutic procedures of enthesopathies of lower limb
VOLENCOVÁ, Lenka
For my bachelor thesis I chose the topic concerning the problem of insertion pain on lower limb called "Physiotherapeutic procedures of enthesopathies of lower limb". I chose this theme, because I had also a period, when I had primary symptoms of insertion pain, and moreover, I did not came across any other bachelor thesis, which would devote to enthesopathies of lower limb so widely. The disease is caused by tendon overload, which happens for many reasons, such as sudden training, poor quality of footwear, pathological movement stereotype and previous injuries. The clinical picture depends on the location and duration of the overload. There is great effort to remain in conservative therapy, which is often successful. It involves soft techniques and mobilizations, compensatory exercises, physical therapy and other methods. However, sometimes it is necessary to accede to surgical solution. Prevention is very important, because it can help us avoid the problems. In the theoretical part I begin with a detailed description of anatomy of the bones and muscles of the lower limb. Then I write about examination methods, where I mention anamnesis, observation, palpation, examination of joint mobility and imaging methods. In the next part I deal with the problems of enthesopathies, their origin, risk factors and description of clinical picture according to individual localization. Last but not least, I introduce reader with possibilities of therapy, where I gave more space to conservative treatment. There are also mentioned preventive measures. In the practial part I worked with patients, who were suffering from insertion pain in the area of Achilles tendon. I performed an initial and final kinesiological analysis, which I compared at the end of research. After the initial examination I performed 10 therapies within 5 weeks consisting of soft techniques and mobilizations, lasertherapy, compensatory exercises and taping. I educated patients in autotherapy and preventive measures. The research group consisted of 3 patients in age between 25 and 45 years. Considering the results, it can be said, that the suggested therapy had positive effects and has brought relief to patients. I also devised exercises, that are good as prevention and treatment of selected enthesopathies of lower limb, which you can find in attachments. This work could be used as educational material for healthcare workers, athletes and the laic public.
