Effectiveness of antispastic electrical stimulation in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy
Kurelová, Martina ; Demeková, Júlia (advisor) ; Havrda, Prokop (referee)
This thesis is focused on the issue of electrotherapy with an antispastic effect. Specifically, it deals with Hufschmidt currents and their effectiveness in reducing spasticity of the triceps surae muscle in patients with the spastic form of cerebral palsy (CP). The overview of theoretical findings includes information on cerebral palsy and spasticity, findings from new research on their frequency, diagnosis and treatment. In the last chapter of the theoretical part, findings on electrotherapy with antispastic effects in the Czech Republic and abroad are presented. In the practical part, a series of case studies of patients in whom the effect of Hufschmidt currents was examined is presented. The work was attended by 9 pediatric patients with a diagnosis of spastic CP, to whom Hufschmidt currents were applied a total of 6 times. The effectiveness of this type of currents is determined by performing a 10-meter walking test, Timed Up and Go test and examination of spasticity in 5 steps according to Gracies, and then comparing the numbers before and after the electrotherapy series. The result of this work was the confirmation of the positive effect of antispastic currents according to Hufschmidt on the reduction of muscle spasticity in 7 patients, on the acceleration of walking in the 10-meter walking...

Use of electrostimulation according to Jantsche and Hufschmidt to influence triceps surae muscle spasticity and walking speed in patients with multiple sclerosis
Tichá, Simona ; Demeková, Júlia (advisor) ; Hojková, Klára (referee)
This thesis focuses on comparing the effectiveness of two types of electrostimulations, specifically electrostimulation according to Hufschmidt and Jantsche, in reducing m. triceps surae spasticity and influencing walking speed in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of the thesis is to determine which type of electrostimulation is more suitable for patients with MS. The topic was chosen based on two previous theses that examined the effects of these electrostimulations individually. The theoretical part provides basic information about MS, explains the pathophysiology of spasticity and the possible influence of spinal mechanisms on it, describes the examination of spastic patients, and summarizes the possibilities of electrotherapy treatment. The practical part compares the effects of both types of electrostimulations in patients with MS who were partially randomly divided into two groups of three and evaluates short-term and long-term results using the "Five step clinical assessment in spastic paresis" examination and the subjective perception of walking questionnaire MSWS-12 (Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale). The results of the thesis do not show significant differences in the effects of both electrostimulations. The most significant improvements in both groups were observed in the...

Distant effects of muscle electrostimulation
Koláček, Michal ; Slabý, Kryštof (advisor) ; Demeková, Júlia (referee)
This work is trying to identify possible non-stimulatory effects and distant effects of muscle electrostimulation musculus quadriceps femoris based on a literature search. Furthermore evaluates the influence of High Tone Electrical Stimulation (HTEMS) muscles of lower limbs on the activity of the autonomic nervous system, expressed by heart rate variability, a spectral power in the individual frequency bands. Randomized crossover study involved 15 healthy subjects (7 men and 8 women), average age 24.4 ± 2,5 years. Heart rate variability was evaluated in two situations: the situation without the application HTEMS and the situation with the aplication of HTEMS. Electrostimulation was done with HITOP 191. The results did not show statistically significant differences in all monitored components. The study also dealt with the reproducibility of measurements of perception and motor threshold for HTEMS.

Utilizing of electrical stimulation for decreasing of spasticity in stroke patient
Ustinova, Darya ; Demeková, Júlia (advisor) ; Kövári, Martina (referee)
1 Abstract Electrical stimulation by coupled impulses according to Hufschmidt was created with the primary goal of reducing spasticity. However, there are currently few studies that confirm or refute the effect of this type of electrical stimulation in reducing spasticity. The aim of this diploma thesis was to determine the effect of electrostimulation according to Hufschmidt on the reduction of biceps brachii spasticity in patients after stroke. In addition, the effect of electrical stimulation on increasing the active range of movement of the antagonist of the examined muscle and on the active function of the spastic limb was investigated. For these purposes, a non-randomized controlled pilot study was created, which involved a total of 16 probands, 8 - in the therapeutic group, 8 - in the control group. Five-step clinical assessment in spastic paresis according to Gracies were used for the examination. In the therapeutic group, electrostimulation took place 3 times a week, a total of 8 times. The intragroup difference was evaluated using the Friedman and Wilcoxon paired tests, the intergroup difference was subsequently evaluated using the Mann-Whitney U test. The significance level p = 0.05 applies to all tests. The measured values show that Hufschmidt's electrical stimulation has a positive effect on...

Use of Electrical Stimulation in Physiotherapy of Perinatal Brachial Plexus Palsy
Přikrylová, Martina ; Dyrhonová, Olga (advisor) ; Demeková, Júlia (referee)
Perinatal brachial plexus palsy (PBPP) is the most common peripheral nerve injury for a newborn children. Theoretical part summarizes the following themes: brachial plexus anatomy, causes of a palsy, levels and types of peripheral nerve damage, treatment options and a summary of rehabilitation techniques that are used in a therapy. Practical part focuses on pathophysiology after a nerve injury and an indication of electrical stimulation (ES) of peripheral nerve palsies. A lot of studies regarding this topic have been published, nevertheless the question whether ES is safe and beneficial method that should be applied in a peripheral nerve palsies treatment still remains unanswered. According to the obtained results, electrical stimulation necessarily has to be divided into electrical muscle stimulation and electrical nerve stimulation, to add to this, we have to determine their apparent parameters. It seems like electrical muscle stimulation is not as beneficial as electrical nerve stimulation. On the other hand, a takeover in the treatment of peripheral nerve palsies may be an intraoperative electrical nerve stimulation. Thesis includes case report of a patient suffering from PBPP with an indication for an ES.
