Micro-pulse stimulation and its use in physiatric treatment
Nedvědová, Marie ; Kolouch, Jaromír (referee) ; Chmelař, Milan (advisor)
General part of the Bachelor´s thesis follows the electrical current with all its effects on the human organism. There is confronted both positive therapeutic usage in physiatric treatment and negative influence on man because of its electrical dangerous activity. The following research brings the newest information about pulsed current use in electrotherapy. The research results are summarized in an overview of the selected electrotherapeutic methods. This is also a point of departure for practical part of the project – micro-pulse stimulator design. The early conception of the stimulator´s circuit function was based on the simulation with the usage of PSpice. The theoretical device draft peaks with the functional sample realization and there were taken some records of the pulse time course by the oscilloscope measurements with this sample.

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.

Influence of spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis using method of electrical stimulation according to Jantsch
Pokorná, Anna ; Kövári, Martina (advisor) ; Kříž, Jiří (referee)
The electrical stimulation (ES) according to Jantsch was created with a primary aim to reduce spasticity, however its impact has been neither proved nor disproved by any study. Therefore, the aim of the thesis is to find out if this type of the ES can reduce spasticity of m. triceps surae within the patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Apart from the spasticity, there was as well observed the influence of the ES on an active movement performed by the antagonists of spastic muscle and the walking speed. Fifteen probands participated in our pilot controlled non- randomized study, probands were divided into two groups - first with the application of the ES (STIM) and second without the application of the ES (NOSTIM) during the hospitalization. We used the concept of Jean-Michel Graciese - Five-step clinical assessment in spastic paresis during the examination process. From this protocol, we choose Tardieu scale to measure spasticity, examination to measure active range of motion and 10MWT. Furthermore, TUG was added. The measurements took place on the 1st, 4th and 8th day of the hospitalization. The intragroup difference was evaluated by the ANOVA for repetitive measures with Fisher's post- hoc test and the level of importance p=0.05. From acquired data it follows that the ES according to Jantsch...

The effectiveness of high intensity laser therapy for plantar fasciitis.
Pitnerová, Lenka ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Author: Bc. Lenka Pitnerová Title: The effectiveness of high intensity laser therapy for plantar fasciitis Objectives: The aim of this work is to assess the effect of high and low intensity laser therapy for plantar fasciitis compared with therapeutic ultrasound. Methods: The study included 50 patients with diagnose of heel spur syndrome. Patients were divided into three groups according to undergoing therapy. Group A (n = 20) received 10 applications of high intensity laser therapy, group B (n = 20) obtained 10 applications of low intensity laser therapy and group C (n=10) received 10 applications of therapeutic ultrasound. Intensity and character of the pain were assessed before and after therapeutic intervention using non- standardized questionnaire and numeric pain rating scale. For the assessment and description of the results were used standard statistical indicators and methods. Results: High intensity laser therapy had according to the obtained results positive effect on the clinical course of the disease and was markedly more effective than therapeutic ultrasound in treatment of plantar fasciitis. Almost all parameters reached the highest percentage improvement in the group treated with high intensity laser. The results are influenced by a smaller sample of patients and by inhomogeneity of...

The use of Electrotherapy to Influence Spasticity in Patients after Stroke
Pokorná, Anna ; Jeníček, Jakub (advisor) ; Tichá, Monika (referee)
Title: The use of electrotherapy to influence spasticity in patients after stroke Abstract: The theme of bachelor thesis is the use of electrotherapy to influence spasticity in pacients after stroke. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part there is described the issue concerning stroke, regulation of muscles tention and spasticity. Mostly there is stated performed research of accessible literary sources on the theme electrotherapy with antispastic effect. These findings come out mostly of the results of foreign studies, which are being mutually compared. Pratical part contains of two case reports of patients, who suffered a stroke and spasticity m. triceps surae has occured in them. On the concrete muscle the stimulation according to Janstch is being applicated for five days. The impact on spasticity is being observed, the spasticity had been examined by using the scale Five-step clinical assessment according to Gracies before the first therapy and instantly after the fifth therapy. Further the changes of parameters, which are desribed by the stated scale, had been observed. The aim of the thesis is to summarize and enrich the issue at the same time and on the basis of the results of own therapy to evaluate the impact of electrotherapy. Key words: stroke,...

Influence of electrical stimulation according to Jantsch on spastic paresis of wrist and fingers flexors in patients after stroke
Bushuyeva, Violeta ; Kövári, Martina (advisor) ; Demeková, Júlia (referee)
This thesis aims to evaluate the immediate effects of the electrostimulation according to Jantsch on spastic paresis of the wrist and finger flexors caused by a stroke. In the theoretic part is a short recherche of a modern findings about the stroke, the spastic paresis and a physical therapy in treatment of spasticity with close-up to an electrotherapy with antispastic effect. The practical part consist of one case report of a patient at whom was during hospitalisation applied the electrostimulation according to Jantsch each weekday - in total 8 times. The patient was examined before and immediately after the electrostimulation. An assessment originates in Five-step clinical assessment in spastic paresis by Gracies. Due to fast and quality examination of spasticity out of the original assessment by Gracies have been chosen theses parameters: the slow passive (Xv1) and active (XA) range of motion and the fast passive range of motion, in another name angle of catch (Xv3). The angle of spasticity (Xv1-Xv3) and the coefficient of spasticity ((Xv1-Xv3)/Xv1) was calculated subsequently. The gathered data imply that the electrostimulation according to Jantsch has an immediate effect on decreasing spasticity of the wrist and finger flexors. The effect on the active range of motion was measured after the...
