Flat foot evaluation in sports dancers
Meruňková, Adéla ; Jandová, Soňa (advisor) ; Bunc, Václav (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis deals with the issue of high heels in competitive dancing. The goal was to determine the percentage of flat feet in competitive dancers and focus on the influence of BMI. The research engaged 48 competitive dancers and consisted of a questionnaire survey and feet measuring with a strain gauge plate - FootScan® (RSscan International, Belgium). Dancers were from the dance club Hes. Overall there were 26 female and 22 male participants. The age ranged from 18 to 30 years with at least 3 months of dance experience. The average age of all female participants in the group (N=26) was 22.38 ± 2.97 years and of the male participants in the group (N=22) was 24.14 ± 3.58 years. The average height for women was 1.62 ± 0.126 m and for men 1.8 ± 0.064 m. The average weight was found to be 58.85 ± 4.79 kg for women and 73.27 ± 11.96 kg for men. Out of that, 25 % focus on Standard dancing, 8 % on Latin dancing, and 67 % on Ballroom dancing, which means they are competing in both disciplines. On average, women train for 7,7 hours a week, and men for 8,9 hours a week. The queried women have been dancing for an average of 4,8 years and men for 5,3 years. Of the 48 dancers, 73 % were flat-footed, 10 % were high-footed, and 13% had normal feet. Two participants could not be placed in any group as...
Wearing barefoot shoes from the perspective of physiotherapy and orthopedics
RUDOLFOVÁ, Marcela
My bachelor thesis deals with the wearing barefoot footwear from the point of view of physiotherapy and orthopaedics and its influence on the musculoskeletal system. In the theoretical part of the bachelor thesis I describe the kinesiology of a foot and its deformities, the foot arch, proprioception and the possibilities of foot examination. I also deal with the issue of footwear wearing. The practical part of the thesis consists of a qualitative research, which was carried out on the basis of a detailed survey with about twenty tests. The sample set consisted of twenty-eight probands in two groups - a group of barefoot users and a reference group of people using different kinds of footwear than barefoot. The group of barefoot users consisted of nine women and five men. The reference group consisted of eight men and six women. The goal of the thesis was to map a possible change of the musculoskeletal system after the switching to wearing barefoot footwear, how wearing barefoot footwear can affect the musculoskeletal system and what the pros and cons of wearing barefoot footwear are. According to my research the benefits of wearing barefoot footwear are based on the satisfaction among the probands, on the better work of toes in the walking stereotype as well as in standing, and also on better axis position of toes. The cons, i.e. the negatives of wearing barefoot footwear are their price and walking on hard surfaces. The most significant changes of the musculoskeletal system that I mapped were those in the walking stereotype, namely in the thrust phase of a step, in the position of toes and changes in the tests of balance and body posture. The thesis can serve as educational material for those who consider purchasing barefoot footwear or want to switch to barefoot walking, but also for those who have already been wearing barefoot footwear, those who are interested in it or for physiotherapy students.
Effects of dance sport in the musculoskeletal system of the individual
Křivohlávek, Jakub ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Strejcová, Barbora (referee)
Title: Effects of dance sport in the musculoskeletal system of the individual Objectives: The goal is to musculoskeletal examination of selected individuals and evaluation the effect of dance sport on examined status. The results should be the basis for further research in this area. Methods: Kinesiology analysis, bioimpedance analysis and X-ray were used for scrutiny of the musculoskeletal system. Primary and secondary data were analyzed afterwards. Results: Findings of struktural deformities: flat feet (both), both sided hallux valgus with incipient degenerative changes of I. MTP joint (male), limit angle of I. MTP joint of left leg (female). These deviations are related to the using of dance shoes. Muscle imbalance upper thoracic region and lateral imbalance of tested people are the result of the prescribed holding and leading used in dance. Keywords: dance sport, musculoskeletal system, muscle imbalances, feet deformities

Magerčiak, Milan ; Vařeková, Jitka (advisor) ; Hošková, Blanka (referee)
Title: Functional disorders in the foot by members of the Honor Guard of the Army of the Czech Republic Objectives: The thesis deals with the activities of soldiers Honor Guard and leg problems arising therefrom. The intention of the theoretical part is generally characterize the activity Honor Guard units, anatomical structure and kinesiology feet, including functional and structural pathology. The aim of the study was to analyze how subjective Musculoskeletal problems are most commonly found among soldiers and assess the impact of the standard used by prestige and sports shoes on his feet when the functional aspects of the activities simulating workloads soldiers. Methods: To obtain basic data on individual participants in research is used surveys using non-standardized anamnesis questionnaire. The main research method to develop practical part of the thesis was to strain gauge device (measuring system) Pedar-X detection and evaluation of plantar pressure, force, contact area and contact time. For processing and evaluation of the data obtained was used program Pedar-X Standard version 3.19.30. Physiotherapist laboratory CASRI was carried out by soldiers basic clinical examination. Results: The research involved 10 soldiers Honor Guard. The research sample included soldiers from 24 to 41 years...
