Chronic renal failure and dialysis treatment affect the musculoskeletal system and functional capacity patients. This work assesses the effect with a focus on changes in the structure and function of the foot. The theoretical part deals with the issue of chronic renal failure and dialysis treatment. It presents evidence of the influence of some internal diseases on the foot, in order to better understand the changes taking place in the examined probands. It describes pathological changes, that affect functional capacity of the examined probands. The practical part assesses the effect of chronic renal failure and dialysis treatment on the height of longitudinal foot arch, gait stereotype and postural stability of 30 patients from the dialysis center Fresenius Medical Care - DS, s.r.o. and FN Motol.

Physiotherapy of dialyzed patients
MUŽÁTKOVÁ, Alena
The bachelor thesis focuses on physiotherapy of dialyzed patients. Hemodialysis is one of the options for patients with a chronic renal insufficiency. It is a therapeutic method that replaces basic functions of kidneys to remove metabolic products from blood. Patients with renal failure are the most frequent group of patients treated for a vital organ failure. Physical activity may positively influence their physical and mental health. The most important benefit of physical activity for dialyzed patients is the overall improvement of physical fitness. Further, it also helps to keep or to improve muscular strength and joint mobility and to relax and to stretch overstrained muscles. Regular exercising may improve self-sufficiency of the patients and support their independence of assistance of other persons. Self-sufficiency is particularly important for old patients so that they can continue living in their familiar environment. The objective of the thesis is to map psychomotoric condition of dialyzed patients and to propose an exercising unit for them. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with chronic renal failure in general and physical activities conducted during the disease. The practical part contains qualitative research of case reports of patients included in a regular dialysis program. The respondents were interviewed with a semi-standardized interview about their case histories. Further, they underwent dynamic tests of spine, anthropometric measurements, goniometric examination, examination of shortened and weakened muscular groups, Barthel test of basic everyday activities and 2-minute Step Test. The respondents were involved in a program with regular exercising for 10 weeks, including exercising at home based on previous instructions and exercising on a rehabilitation treadmill during hemodialysis. The main preconditions of successful physiotherapy of dialyzed patients are personal involvement and proactive approach to regular physical activity. A suitable form of physical activity may contribute to improvement of their physical fitness and mental condition. The patients, however, need to be consistent and exercise regularly on a truly long-term basis.
