Playing the accordion for school-age children from the perspective of physiotherapy
SMOLÍKOVÁ, Dagmar
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of playing the accordion by children in a school age within the perspective of physiotherapy. Ergonomics of playing the accordion is currently still in the background of interests. For the player (in this case school-aged child), playing the accordion presents a one-sided physical activity and because of incorrectly loaded musculoskeletal system, the muscle imbalance evolves. Incorrect habits, can sooner or later, easily case problems such as back pain, poor posture and many others. The goal of this work was to describe the problem of playing the accordion, determine, how incorrect habits affects the musculoskeletal system and design an exercise program school-aged children playing the accordion. In theoretical part, playing the accordion, axial system, school-aged child evolution, posture, deep stabilization system and selected physiotherapeutic concepts are described. Practical part is processed by form of qualitative research. Data were contained by form of case reports, which includes anamnesis together with kinesiologic analysis. The research group was formed by children, who are already playing the accordion for 2-3 years. I worked with probands for 3 months. In first four therapies, my supervision over probands was once a week and after the fifth therapy, the time period of my supervision was extended for another week. Before the first therapy, I created an exercise program, which was individually modified according to abilities of each proband. Exercise program contained stretching and relaxing exercises of the cervical spine and wrist, activation of correct breathing stereotype, activation of a deep stabilization system with elements of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization and acral coactivation therapy, compensation exercise with overball and sensomotoric stimulation. In the end, during the last therapy, I determined kinesiologic outcome and long-term rehabilitation plan. Based on the research and subjective feelings of probands, I observed and improvement of breathing stereotype, posture during playing the accordion and spine pain relief.

Relationship between the posture and muscle imbalance in preschool children
Volfová, Stanislava ; Dvořáková, Hana (advisor) ; Hrabinec, Jiří (referee)
This work deals with the posture of children preschool age. Due to the instability and children standing of factors affecting posture, the trials in this age group pose a problem. The goal is to assess the level of preschool children's posture in the region of Liberec and analyze the potential depending on posture and muscle imbalance movement stereotypes. The study will be used the following methods: a combination of visual methods of Klein, Thomas & Mayer and Jaros & Lomíček, Mathiasův test Thomayer test and muscle tests according to Janda. Based on the results will be chosen the best compensation method.

Postural fuction and motor control in children with poor posture
Pelánková, Zuzana ; Zounková, Irena (advisor) ; Syslová, Jana (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on two conditions that typically occure in childhood - poor posture and developmental coordination disorder. The theoretical part summarizes recent information on these diseases focusing on their etiology, prevalence, prognosis, methods of assessment, diagnosis and treatment. The main aim of the practical part was to evaluate the motor control of treated children with poor posture in comparison with children from the general population. The research group (13 children, mean age 9.85 years) and control group (16 children, mean age 9.94 years) were assessed using Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2. We found no significant difference between motor skills of treated children with poor posture and motor skills of children representing the general population. We also analysed whether treated children with poor posture reported less physical activity compared with the general population. By gathering data from questionnaires (completed by parents of tested children), no statistically significant difference was found. The difference was neither detected in test of posture and postural functions, where we investigated how poor posture of treated children can influence the results of the test.

Physiotherapeutic possibilities in preschoolers with faulty posture
HRDINA, Jakub
The thesis deals with problem of faulty posture at preschool children and influence of this process through the physiotherapy. The theoretical part describes faulty posture including trends in the incidence, the position of individual human body segments, deep stabilization system and ontogenetic development from birth until the end of preschool period. Part of theoretical part also includes a list of appropriate physiotherapy techniques. Faulty posture is caused by muscular imbalance in the form of weakening of the muscles on one side and increased muscle tension on the other side. There are not anatomical abnormalities at faulty posture in contrast to structural failures so it is possible to correct this postural defect. Examination of postural functions in the preschool period is complicated because some developmental abnormalities are physiological in childhood. Therefore, it is difficult to determine which abnormality is appropriate to correct. Preschool period starts at the age of three and ends at the age of six or seven. An imitation of close persons is typical in this period. A lot of children stay in kindergartens which can be source of various risks. In case of insufficient development of movement skills and coordination of movement, one-sided stress or lack of spontaneous physical aktivity these risks may be reflected in the form of faulty posture. Qualitative research methods have been selected for the practical part. Data was obtained through two case studies that include medical history, along with kinesiology analysis. The research group consisted of preschool children diagnosed with faulty posture. The probands were selected from the Dětské rehabilitační centrum Lentilka in Pardubice. Based on the results of the examination, there were prepared individual exercises which were used at home. It was also used of sensomotoric stimulation, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and exercise TherapiMaster. Appropriate motivation is an important aspect of physiotherapy at children. Because the game in preschool period has justified significance during physiotherapy as well, most of actions were adapted.

The pre-school children´s faulty posture detection in nursery school U Pramene in České Budějovice
JANOŠOVÁ, Pavla
In my bachelor´s thesis I have concerned with the occurance of defective postural habits of preschool children in a nursery school in the suburb of České Budějovice, The Nursery School U Pramene was chosen at random. Twenty-seven children, at the age from 4 to 6, were researched by the method of Matthias Test. The results were elaborated into the charts and diagrams aiming intersexual and age difference. Postural habits of preschool children U Pramene were compared with The Nursery School Pražská a The Nursery School Větrná where the same research was done. Finally, seventy-seven children were researched. The main task is the research itself, completed with the questionnaire which deals with regular motoric activities in children´s free time. The research is supported by a theoretical part (the development of preschool children) and by general problems of right and defective postural habits. I have also mentioned some methods looking into the right postural habits

Analysis of physical education at primary and secondary schools from the standpoint of physiotherapy.
MAŤÁKOVÁ, Kateřina
Lack of physical activity is a dominant part of current lifestyle. It results in many lifestyle diseases and is the primary cause of posture disorders in schoolchildren. In particular, of all the long term problems monitored by physicians, the third most significant are those of motoric functions, following behind allergic deceases and sensory defects. The bachelor thesis "Analysis of PE at the primary and secondary schools from the standpoint of physiotherapy" consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part focuses on information about lifestyle, the effect of regular physical activity on our body and which diseases can be prevented or reduced through regular exercise. Furthermore there is a chapter concerning the anatomy of a child's motoric apparatus, of the postural function, the motoric ontogenesis, basic motoric abilities in the early age and the psychological factors of children's sport activities. Achieved results are presented in the practical part. Both quality and quantity research strategies were used for the evaluation. Data collection was carried out by testing 18 pupils at primary and secondary schools and by analysing the educational programmes of 9 primary and 12 secondary schools in Mlada Boleslav. The research took place in Spring 2012. The aim of this study was to find out whether the PE concept at primary and secondary schools is satisfactory and sufficient for the maintenance of certain mobility and agility levels. Three hypotheses were set. The H1-hypothesis assumed that PE at primary schools only took place twice a week, this hypothesis was confirmed. The H2-hypothesis, which supposed that PE at secondary schools only took place twice a week, was also confirmed. However, based on the data found, it was not possible to confirm the H3-hypothesis, which assumed that primary schools do not sufficiently develop after-school sport activities. Abdominal muscles, lower back spinal muscles and gluteus muscles proved to be the most frequently weakened muscle groups. Evaluating which age group has the least problems with shortened and weakened muscles, it is unambiguously year 1 girls at secondary schools. With respect to the obtained results, it would be appropriate to pay more attention to the PE concept and after-school exercise activities, emphasise exercise during school breaks and integrate stretching exercises also into regular classes, especially for the 7-11 age group, when the biggest increase in faulty posture habits occurs.
