Kinesiotherapy and physical therapy with the algic syndrome of cervical spine
Holoubek, David ; Hylmarová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Němeček, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis in theoretical part deals with short definitions algic syndrome cervical spine and the question of pain, introduces the basic anatomy and kinesiology cervical spine. It also deals with possible causes, diagnosis and therapy of functional disorders associated primarily with neck pains . The practical part is devoted to two case reports of patients with neck pain and chronic low back problems. In these case reports described outpatient rehabilitation therapy at a physical therapist's office. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Degenerative changes in the cervical spine with a focus on the intervertebral disc prolapse and its verification using imaging methods and 3D model
Píglová, Tereza ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Tlapáková, Eva (referee)
Title: Degenerative changes in the cervical spine with a focus on the intervertebral disc prolapse and its verification using imaging methods and 3D model Objectives: The aim of this work is to describe the problems of degenerative changes in the cervical spine with a focus on the intervertebral disc prolapse. The second part deals with the possibility of imaging methods that are able to detect pathological processes. Part of this work is the study of three cases of patients with a diagnosis of disc herniation. In conclusion, there are some possibilities of 3D modeling of the cervical spine. Methods: The theoretical part is based on the available literature. Images from MRI were obtained from medical facilities in Prague, described and assessed by a specialist. After studying the functions suitable graphical programs were created 3D models of the cervical spine. Results: Degenerative changes in the cervical spine naturally come from the aging of the organism, but a number of modifiable factors accelerating the onset. Among such factors include especially hypokinesia and unilateral overloading of cervical spine. Modern imaging techniques can in detail detect these pathological processes, but are limited by the patient's position during the investigation. The resulting series of images are used as...

Bone densitometry
ŠÍRKOVÁ, Eliška
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) osteoporosis is defined as: "Increasing of systemic disease of skeleton. The characteristic feature is the lack of bone substance and disorders of microarchitecture of bone tissue. The result of the disorder is disposition to fractures. Earlier the disease was not diagnosed until it got to the stage of occurrence of osteoporotic fracture. Nowadays it is anticipated by means of BMD. Especially women at the age of postmenopause and older men are invited for the medical check-up. However, younger people and even children are invited too. The main indications for the BMD measurement are women who stopped a hormonal curing by using estrogen or they are at the age of postmenopause. It is also recommended for patients with increased occurence of fractures caused by small force and for patients who had a big weight loss. Last, but not least, it is good for men in their seventies, patients who are considering the pharmacological treatment and of course patients with visible effects of the treatment. The densitometry medical check-up itself, known as DEXA, is painless and non-invasive method, using which we can find comprehensive information about the amount of bone mineral in examined section of bone. The parts, where the density is measured, are the parts that are the most abraded. These are vertebrae L1 L4, distal antebrachium, proximal femur, ribs and proximal humerus. It is necessary to check BMD patients with the same apparatus and software during the each medical check-up. For the checking measurement the patients comes every year. Nevertheless, not later than after the two years after the first medical check-up. The purpose of the thesis is research including two main points: analysis of the data acquired from densitometric station of 'Nemocnice České Budějovice a.s. and omparison of the data of patients with a regard to age, sex and the kind of disease. Based on the research it was found out, that division of the patients into groups according to the diagnosis is not conforming. 95% of patients are suffering from various stages of osteoporosis. Only 5% of patients have different diagnosis. Based on the data from the research it was found out that there are ten-times more women who undertook the medical check-up. It is clear, why mainly women undertake the osteoporosis medical check-up. The sudden change of metabolism of bones, mostly related to climacteric, the end of treatment using estrogen, or lactation, is difficult situation and it is very stressful for the whole organism.
