The relationship between man and his working environment - applied ergonomics in relation to functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system
KRUPIČKOVÁ, Nikola
The aim of this thesis is to use applied ergonomics together with physiotherapeutic intervention in an engineering company, namely ENGEL s.r.o. (private limited company) in Kaplice, to evaluate the working environment and relieve employees from musculoskeletal pain. The theoretical part deals with ergonomics and work positions, basic anatomy, theories of musculoskeletal disorders and the most common diseases resulting from poor and non-ergonomic positions during work. The data collection methodology was conducted at Engel with the cooperation of three probands. Based on the initial examination, an appropriate therapeutic intervention, i.e., a short-term and long-term rehabilitation plan, was selected using education of appropriate movement stereotypes and ergonomic positions during work activities. The initial examination included history taking, physical examination and completion of ergonomic questionnaires. In addition, an assessment of the workplace was performed using ergonomic checklists or test batteries. Therapy sessions were conducted over a period of three months. During each visit, manual therapy was performed, the exercises from the previous session were corrected, and new exercises were learnt. The exit examination was conducted in the form of an interview after eight therapy sessions and was compared with the entry examination. This thesis may be used as an educational material by anybody - physiotherapists or general public - with the interest in this subject.

Detection of the most common functional disorders of the movement system of children attending the No Limit dance studio in České Budějovice
ŠTINDLOVÁ, Tereza
The diploma thesis is aimed at detecting functional disorders of the movement system, which are most found in dancers attending the dance studio No Limit. Twelve girls took part in the testing and were subjected to standardized tests. According to the results of the initial testing of individual probands, their personal characteristics of the detected disorders were processed. Then a set of compensatory exercises was designed, which was introduced into the training unit. The compensation program was to be applied for 8 weeks, always after dance training twice a week. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the compensation program had to be terminated prematurely and its effectiveness could not be verified through exit compensation program. The diploma thesis is even more concerned with the results of the entrance testing, the interconnection of individual test results with each other for individual probands and the overall characteristics of the tested group. Evaluation of posture by the method of Jaroš and Lomíček showed that 50% of girls had good (almost perfect) posture, 42% of girls had poor posture and 8% of girls had very poor posture. Hypermobility was demonstrated in at least one trial in 100% of girls. On the contrary, muscle shortening was not particularly pronounced due to numerous hypermobility. The shortening of the triceps was more pronounced in 50% of girls and the shortening of the scapula lifts in 33% of girls. In the tests of muscle weakness, the most common weakness of the gluteal muscles was in 75% of girls, the weakening of the lower scapular fixators in 50% of girls and the weakening of the direct abdominal muscle in 50% of girls.

Prevention of development of functional vertebragenous disorders among powerlifter community
ČERNOTA, Pavel
This bachelor's thesis deals with the options of prevention of development of functional vertebragenous disorders among the powerliftting community. The main purpose of this thesis was to propose a model of a therapy focusing on prevention of development of functional vertebragenous disorders, that remain one of the most common form of injury among powerlifters. Another purpose of this thesis was to examine the efficiency of this therapy by comparing the results gathered during the preand post-therapy assessment. The theoretical part of this thesis deals with spinal anatomy and mechanics. It also discusses the formation of functional disorders, the concept of the potential of the functional capacity, and compares the importance of mobility and stability. The empirical part of my work uses the qualitative research method. Three different subjects were examined and based on the initial assessment, a 4-week-long individual therapy was recommended. The therapy used the concepts from kinesiotherapy and some elements of the manual medicine. The therapy was successful in improving the function of the deep stabilisation spine system and joint mobility. However, the thesis couldn't provide evidence, whether the therapy had positive effect for prevention of the development of functional vertebragenous disorders.

Determining the most common functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system of primary school children, particularly in 5th grade at elementary schools in the district Tabor
POPOVIČOVÁ, Žaneta
This graduation thesis deals with the occurrence of the most common functional disorders of the locomotor system in children in 5th grade at elementary schools in the district of Tábor. The research was implement on twenty-two primary schools. In total, 786 children from the 36th grade in the Tábor District were monitored and evaluated. The task of the thesis was the processing of literary research based on the study of Czech and foreign literature. In addition, obtaining the approval of school principals and pupils' parents to conduct research. As part of our research, we used the test method using standardized tests for examination of body posture, according to Matthias and Jaros and Lomicek. Part of the research was also the measurement of the pupils' weight and height and the subsequent calculation of the BMI index. The collected data were processed into tables and the frequency of the faults was evaluated in the graphs. Overall results showed different values of posture assessment. According to Jaros and Lomicek, nearly 20% of children had a perfect body posture, good 72%, badly less than 8%, and very bad holdings appeared in 1.5% of the investigated. Matthias's test showed nearly 70% of good body posture, 29% of pupil posture defective and 1% defective posture with fixed deviation. The most common functional disorders of this research group include primarily enlarged lumbar lordosis. This research has confirmed the importance of everyday physical activity and compensatory exercise in the fight against functional disorders.

Determining the most common functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system of primary school children, particularly in the 1st and 2nd grade at elementary schools in Strakonice
KOVÁŘOVÁ, Veronika
In summary of findings we first address problems of correct and poor posture. We present methods how to easily detect function disorders of locomotive system, their basic characteristics, and how to compensate such disorders, or how to prevent them completely. The research focuses on determination of the most common function disorders in children of young school age. Total of 384 children from 1st and 2nd grades of all elementary schools in Strakonice participated in the survey. The following methods were chosen evalutation of posture according to Jaroš and Lomíček, which disclosed that the most common function disorders apply to lower limbs. Testing according to Matthias showed that 33 % of children suffer from poor posture. The research includes a questionaire, which helped us to find out that poor posture occurs less frequently in children who pursue physical activities.
