The use of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation exercise in female basketball players with deep stabilisation spinal system dysfunction
Janderová, Petra ; Plevová, Kristýna (advisor) ; Motáková, Zuzana (referee)
This theoretical-practical bachelor thesis focuses on dysfunction of the deep stabilisation system of the spine in female basketball players. Basketball is an unilateral sport depending on which hand we use to shoot or dribble, and therefore unilateral overloading occurs. This results in the development of muscle imbalances, painful syndromes, and a higher risk of injury. The theoretical part addresses several thematic areas important for understanding the issue. These include posture and its components, the deep stabilizing system of the spine, specifically its anatomy, functions, dysfunctions, and examination. Another area is a summary of developmental kinesiology and its most significant periods during childhood. Proper child development is the foundation of the Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) concept included in the fourth thematic area. The fifth theme covers muscle imbalances, their types, and causes. The last section offers a comprehensive insight into basketball itself, analyzing its movement patterns, most stressed muscles, and common injuries resulting from this sport. The main goal of the practical part was to apply elements of DNS in the physiotherapeutic intervention for 5 young female basketball players with proven dysfunction of the deep stabilizing system of the spine....

Effect of Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization autotherapy on functional foot disorders
Vojtěchovská, Karolína ; Oplatková, Lenka (advisor) ; Novák, Jakub (referee)
This thesis aimed to demonstrate the effect of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization autotherapy on functional foot disorders in comparison with autotherapy according to the analytical approach. The theoretical part summarized the findings regarding foot and gait kinesiology, developmental kinesiology as a pivotal period for gait development and foot formation, the relationship between foot and posture, and functional foot defects. METHODOLOGY: In this study, 26 probands aged 20-26 years were divided into two groups, namely, the DNS group and the Analyst group. The names of the groups were chosen according to the type of self-therapy. At the beginning of this work, an initial measurement was conducted where probands in both groups were measured using Physionesnig platform in selected five tests. These tests are Static analysis, Unilateral Stance, Sit-to-stand, Weight bearing squat, Dynamic analysis. After the initial measurement using the Physiosensing platform, individual probands were instructed and coached by the physiotherapist in self- therapy regarding the given exercise set-up. After a 6-week autotherapy session, a second measurement was performed. The measured data were statistically processed using the Jamovi program, version 2.3.26.0. RESULTS: The main results of the study show that neither group...

Correlation between evaluation of functional postural tests and ability to expand abdominal wall in low back pain population.
Krausová, Eliška ; Jačisko, Jakub (advisor) ; Kobesová, Alena (referee)
The theoretical part: The theoretical part of thesis shortly describes anatomy and kinesiology of lumbar spine. The second chapter contains the causes of LBP and alerts to red flags. Muscle stabilization system of spine and intraabdominal pressure are themes of other chapters. Techniques of intraabdominal pressure measurement and questionnaires of quality of life were described at the end of the theoretical part. Methodology: 36 patients (22 female, mean age = 41.86, 16 male, mean age = 40.07) with low back pain were evaluated in three positions. Every proband filled Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) before the examination. Trunk orthosis DNS Brace evaluated 8 seconds intraabdominal pressure in three tests - breathing stereotype test, diaphragm test and hip flexion test. DNS instructor evaluated the same three tests by aspection and palpation. The first half of the probands was evaluated first with DNS Brace, the second half of probands was evaluated first with DNS instructor. Results: A statistically significant correlation (r=0,479, p=0,003) between evaluations DNS Brace and DNS instructor was demonstrated in one out three DNS tests - diaphragm test. There was not a statistically significant correlation in the other two tests. There was not a statistically significant correlation between DNS Brace...

Stability in Showjumping and Dressage Riders
Vaňková, Kateřina ; Kučerová, Klára (advisor) ; Rampová, Michaela (referee)
Horse-riding has a major influence on the posture of the whole body of the rider. Rider has to constantly compensate the movement of horse's body and has to maintain a proper seat. The compensation is very demanding in harder tasks (showjumping, trotting) and is provided mainly by the trunk area of rider's body. In addition, if the saddle doesn't fit the rider, it leads to improper seat and the compensation becomes even harder. In long term, that could affect different segments of the rider's body and his overall stability. The practical part of this thesis consists of one-time examination of two groups. The first group contained nine showjumping and dressage riders who engage in horse-riding regularly over many years and do not do any other sport or compensatory exercises. The second group was control group and consisted ten healthy controls. Both groups contained 19-24 years old volunteers of the same gender. The main goal was to compare the two groups and to find out whereas the inclusion of the compensatory excercises would be desirable for riders. The examination was executed using a force plate with the software Kistler MARS (Measurement, Analysis & Reporting Software). On the force plate, postural stability of standing and a dynamic test were examined. Intrumental examination was...

The effect of the deep stabilization system on the prevention of knee injuries in soccer
Hudíková, Klára ; Demeková, Júlia (advisor) ; Veselá, Jana (referee)
This bachelor's thesis examines the deep spinal stabilization system and its effect on knee stability of soccer players for future injury prevention. Joint instability is cited as a major risk factor for non-contact knee injuries. Therefore, this thesis explores the possibility of improving its stability by improving the activation of the deep stabilization system of the spine. Soccer is a collective sport with a large player base and with this comes a high number of injuries. Among the most common of these are knee injuries. The movements performed in football require precise coordination of the activity of the muscles of the lower limbs. These movements are discussed in this thesis, along with the most common football-specific injury patterns. The functional aspects of the deep stabilization system of the spine are also presented. This is a set of muscles of the trunk, diaphragm and pelvic floor that, when properly coordinated, provide spinal bracing during posturally demanding positions. Its proper development begins in early childhood and its involvement depends, among other things, on the correct positioning of the segments. Its function is discussed in detail by Professor Kolář in his concept of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization, which is described in the paper. In the practical part of the...

Physiotherapy with dynamic neuromuscular stabilization elements in oncological patients after mastectomy
Háblová, Karolina ; Aujezdská, Eva (advisor) ; Plevová, Kristýna (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with physiotherapy with elements of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization in oncological patients after breast ablation. The aim of the practical part is to use objective measurements to evaluate the benefit of preoperative and early postoperative physiotherapy on the patient's overall recovery. The evaluation took place three times - as a part of preoperative treatment, after surgery and after the end of the physiotherapy intervention. For this, postural locomotion tests (diaphragm test, intra-abdominal pressure test, quadruped rock forward test and test of a 3-month-old supine position), measurements of inspiratory and expiratory chest circumferences, range of motion measurements on the upper extremities and cervical spine, and measurements of arm circumferences were used. It was found that physiotherapy had a positive effect on the overall recovery of the patients. In addition, the elements of the DNS have been shown to be a suitable adjunct to the analytic exercise and could be used along with other proven methods in post-mastectomy women-patients. Keywords: Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization, breast cancer, muscle dysbalance, physiotherapy, mastectomy
