The use of the OhmTrak device in self-treatment of patients with back pain
Tyburcová, Marie ; Kobesová, Alena (advisor) ; Jačisko, Jakub (referee)
Introduction: Impaired trunk stabilization is a frequent cause of chronic low back pain (CLBP). Trunk stabilization training can reduce back pain. Aim: To determine the effect of the OhmTrak (OT) trunk stabilization training device following Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) principles in patients with CLBP. Methods: A single-blind randomized clinical trial. The investigator did not know to which group the participant belonged. 20 patients with CLBP were randomly divided into 2 groups. 10 patients included in the experimental group underwent six-week DNS training focusing on optimal trunk stabilization. The participants had a treatment session with a physiotherapist once a week. Experimental group patients were educated in self- treatment with the OT device which they performed for 15 minutes 5 times a week. The control group patients (n=10) underwent the same rehabilitation program of the same duration and frequency including the self-treatment. Control group participants performed self-treatment without the OT device. Before the start and at the end of the 6 weeks therapy program the ability to activate the abdominal wall was assessed using DNS Brace device in all participants from both groups. All patients from both groups completed the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire at...

Use of interactive device Homebalance® in therapy of vertebrogenic algic syndrome
Hanzelka, Michal ; Šilhavá, Sylva (advisor) ; Hašpicová, Marcela (referee)
The topic of the bachelor's thesis is the use of internal Homebalance® aids, certified as a medical device class I, in therapy in patients diagnosed with vertebrogenic algic syndrome. The work introduces this technology and isdivided into two parts, theoretical and practical. In the practical part, two case reports of patients with this are processed diagnosis. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the therapy is performed by comparing the input and output examination, which uses the measurement of the distance spine, body weight distribution using two scales, pain evaluation according to the NRS scale (The Numeric Rating Scale) and automatic evaluation of the exercise with the Homebalance® system. Finally, a comparison of the effectiveness of therapy performed in one patient only with the Homebalance® device with the Homebalance® device therapy combined with therapy with proven physiotherapeutic methods and concepts (DNS and McKenzie exercise elements) in the other patient

Incidence and management of muscle imbalances in physically active and inactive populations: Objective rehabilitation solutions for populations with nonspecific back pain
Šmejkal, Jiří ; Zeman, Václav (advisor) ; Topolčan, Ondřej (referee) ; Kálal, Jan (referee)
v anglickém jazyce: Incidence and management of muscle imbalances in physically active and inactive populations: Objective rehabilitation solutions for populations with nonspecific back pain Summary Totally 258 patients with chronic low back pain aged 51,5 +8,4 years were treated for three weeks in the Rehabilitation Centre focused on lumbar back pain. We observed incidence of muscle dysbalances and accomplished their exact objectiveness using the Tergumed system. We tried to compare and solve their mutual influence during the rehabilitation treatment. We compared differences between physically active and physically inactive population, the impact of total motivation,age and other factors on the improvement of strenght, motion, dysbalances and total pain relief.Significant improvement of movement and muscle strenght p <0,001 were documented on the Tergumed in three weeks.The physically active population and patients motivated.by using the Tergumed preferred active exercises to passive therapy. We also observed improvement in finger-floor distance and reduction of pain, documented by the visual analogue scale, decrease in body weight and cholesterol level (p <0,001). In three- week observation nor significant changes in muscle dysbalance, neither their differences according to sex,age ,chronical...
