Vávra, Jan ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Nováková, Tereza (referee)
Author: Bc. Jan Vávra Title: Strength training in patients with cardiovascular disease from the perspective of physiotherapy students and physiotherapists of the Czech Republic Objectives: The aim of this diploma thesis is to evaluate the relationship of physiotherapy students/physiotherapists in the Czech Republic to strength/resistance training and to evaluate their relationship to the use of this training in cardiac patients. Methods: A non-standardized questionnaire was created for data collection. 497 physiotherapists and physiotherapy students participated in the research. The questionnaire was created and then sent out using Google Forms, the results were then evaluated in Microsoft Excel. Results: The results showed that up to 90 % (n = 449) of the research sample (n = 497) of physiotherapists and physiotherapy students in the Czech Republic do not think that there was enough time spent by topic of strength training during their studies. Over 86 % (n = 432) consider strength training for cardiovascular patients to be beneficial, and 76 % (n = 378) consider it as an integral part of the rehabilitation process for these patients. However, it turns out that almost 78 % (n = 387) are not sure of their knowledge when designing strength training for patients with cardiovascular disease. Keywords:...

Treatment-rehabilitation procedure in a patient after cardiac surgery
TŮMOVÁ, Jitka
The main aim of this bachelor´s thesis is to describe the treatment-rehabilitation procedure of patients after cardiac surgery complicated by stroke. In the theoretical part, I describe cardiac surgery in general, operative approaches, complications related to cardiac surgery, including stroke. I also focus on the rehabilitation of patients after heart surgery in a hospital facility. The second half of the theoretical part is dedicated ischemic and haemorrhagic strokes, symptoms, methods of treatment. At the very end, the thesis is dedicated to the rehabilitation of patients after a stroke. The practical part is processed in the form of qualitative research. In this part, I describe the medical rehabilitation procedure of two probands. The practical part is processed in the form of qualitative research. In this part, I describe the medical rehabilitation procedure of two probands.

Preoperative physiotherapy in patients with planned cardiac surgery
KRONESOVÁ, Karolína
The bachelor thesis investigates preoperative physiotherapy options for patients with upcoming cardiac surgery. The thesis examines physiotherapeutic options before the cardiac surgery, which aim to be beneficial in the postoperative phase. The first goal is to map physiotherapeutic methods available for patients with upcoming cardiac surgery. The second goal is to compile educational material for patients who are planning to undergo a cardiac operation. I formulate two following research questions to achieve these goals: 1. Which physiotherapeutic methods are available for patients with upcoming cardiac surgery? 2. What effect has the educational material for patients with upcoming cardiac surgery? The theoretical part focuses on the following areas: anatomy of thorax and heart, physiology of bloodstream and heart, and on respiratory system. The next topic is a description of basic concepts of cardiac surgery and physiotherapeutic methods, which we can use in cardiac rehabilitation. The practical part of the work is based on qualitative research - case studies of four probands with planned cardiac surgery. Before the surgery, the input examination was performed to set starting values. The output examination took place right before the patient's release to home care for final evaluation. Probands were found thanks to the department of cardiac and chest surgery in České Budějovice hospital. The research was held during proband's hospitalization, and the whole therapy process was monitored. Based on kinesiological analysis input and output, I evaluated the effect of preoperative physiotherapy as positive for three out of four probands. Proband 1 had a significant extension of maximal respiratory mouth pressures; her thorax increased its volume and duration of inhaling and exhale. Despite lowered expectations, Proband 2 improved her maximal inspiratory and expiratory mouth pressures. Chest volume of Proband 3 increased during measurements. Due to the health condition of Proband 4, I could not perform her output examination.

Physiotherapy in Patients after Acute Myocardial Infarction and Aspects Influencing their Convalescence
Zídková, Veronika ; Kurfürstová, Martina (advisor) ; Novotná, Marie (referee)
BAKALÁŘSKÉ PRÁCE Title: Physiotherapy in Patients after Acute Myocardial Infarction and Aspects Influencing their Convalescence Abstract: This bachelor's thesis deals with physiotherapy and the application principles of secondary prevention in the hospital phase of rehabilitation in patients after acute myocardial infarction. The aim of this thesis is to describe the physiotherapeutical management in the hospital phase and the ways in which a physiotherapist can influence a lifestyle change of the patient. The design of this work is theoretical-practical. In the theoretical section, facts about the anatomy of the heart and myocardial infarction are summarised. The main chapters are devoted to the physiotherapeutical management in the hospital phase and to the aspects of secondary prevention which deal with risk factors of ischaemic heart disease. In the practical section, the course of the physiotherapeutical management is described in two case studies, as well as preventive intervention focusing on quitting smoking, change of dietary habits, increase in physical activity and the screening for depression and other psychosocial risk factors in two patients after acute myocardial infarction during their hospital stay in the General Teaching Hospital in Prague. Key words: acute myocardial infarction,...
