Hiporehabilitation as a means for (re)socializing people with spinal lesions
Pospíšilová, Johana ; Hájková, Vanda (advisor) ; Zulić, Marija (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with hyporehabilitation and its influence on the (re) socialization of people with spinal cord lesions in adulthood. The theoretical part deals with physical disability and then defines the spinal cord injury and its consequences reflected in the life of the individual and the individual social aspects into which the disability is intertwined. We also deal with hyporehabilitation and its division into individual categories and their goals. Hyporerehabilitation is introduced as a possible way for the resocialization of people with spinal lesions. In this work we will introduce the individual components of hipporehabilitation and introduce ways of working with clients in individual areas. Each area is aimed at developing a different aspect of human personality. In all areas, we emphasize and raise the impact on physical disability and personality traits that form specifically spinal lesions. For each type of hiporebilitation, we indicate its goal of action. These goals and categories intersect, with the chapters emphasizing the impact on disability. Based on the interviews, the life changes of a person with an acquired disability due to a spinal cord injury were described. In the analysis of individual interviews, we focused on their changes in behavior and also values, on...

Zhodnotenie špecializačných skúšok pre kone zaradené do hiporehabilitácie
Slobodová, Lucia
The diploma thesis deals with the evaluation of the specialization examinations. Each horse for hiporehabilitation purposes is specially selected and trained in a composed Specialized Exam. I'm watching the so-called a selection of effects that affects the results of horses included in the trials and their subsequent use in hiporehabilitation. A database of 195 horses of different breeds was compiled, where different parameters of their body were evaluated on the basis of a linear description, and therefore specialized examinations for horses included in hiporehabilitation were performed. Based on the results of the specialization tests, the collected data were followed by statistical processing and evaluation of the effects of specialization tests for horses in hiporehabilitation. I divided the horses into 6 groups by type to better compare the necessary effects. Then, in the Gretl statistical program, I evaluated the individual parameters of horses that correlate together. I have given both positive and negative values, from which I conclude that one variable is smaller, the other is bigger. Various groups correlate different parameters, depending on the type of the horse. Then, I evaluated the step and trot in the individual groups. In the statistical program I created a so-called thermal maps, where the color correlated degrees of color were, the more red the color, the more the parameters correlate together. Only mares and geldings participate in the specialization tests. The most suitable age for inclusion is 5 years.

Rehabilitation effect of Hippotherapy on bad posture of older elementary school children
KOKEŠOVÁ, Michaela
This bachelor thesis deals with the influence of rehabilitation hippotherapy on poor posture in older school-age children. It is necessary to search already in childhood for development causes of musculoskeletal diseases when the muscular imbalance develops due to an incorrect load on the musculoskeletal system, leading to poor posture. In the recent years an enormous increase in the poor posture in children has been discussed, the increase being connected to the change of lifestyle, to an increase in obesity, largely to the lack of physical exercise and one-sidedness of modern lifestyle. Hippotherapy is a method of physiotherapy using the natural horse movement at the walk as a stimulating and physiotherapeutic element. By achieving kinetic harmony of the client and the horse, an activation of non-pathological movement programs occurs. A possible beneficial influence on change in poor posture in children before completion of growth is considered, the result of which could be the possibility of avoiding potential emergence of scoliosis in adolescence up to adulthood. This bachelor thesis has one research question and two objectives. The objectives are to map out the influence of hippotherapy on the improvement of body posture in older school-age children and to develop a specific therapeutic procedure of hippotherapy for the observed probands. The research question analyses whether and which changes occurred after the hippotherapy in the observed probands. The theoretical part consists of two sections, in the first section I deal with the issue of poor posture. Here is the emergence of the poor posture outlined. In the following part, the terms of poor posture, ideal posture, posture and deep stabilization system are defined. Last but not least I dedicate myself with poor posture diagnostics, namely with the most used methods such as the Matthias posture test. The last part is devoted to causes and prevention of poor posture. The second section deals with the hippotherapy as such, the terms of hipporehabilitation and hippotherapy are defined there. I also deal with brief history. In the next chapter the practical performance of hippotherapy is described, where I present the hippotherapeutic team, equipment, and outline the choice importance of a suitable horse for the given therapy. Other chapters include the mechanics of horse movement with the summary of all horse gaits. In the last chapter I introduce the basic positions used in hippotherapy. In the practical part of the bachelor thesis a qualitative research was used in the form of processing complete case studies of two probands attending civic association O.S. Krapet Dynín. To obtain all the necessary data, a kinesiological analysis was conducted and medical history taken. Interviews were conducted with the probands' parents because the respondents did not reach the age of majority and it could lead to a distortion of information. Furthermore, a static examination by front, rear and side aspection was performed with both probands. Other examinations which were performed include Trendelenburg-Duchenne test, Thomayer test, Matthias test, the posture standard according to Klein and Thomas and the examination of gait. It follows from the above that positive effects of rehabilitation hippotherapy were observed in probands. They both continue the therapy praising the positive effects achieved during it. The bachelor thesis can be used as educative and informational material for physiotherapy students and as a basis for further research. The purpose of the work is to raise awareness of the issue among both general and professional public.

The partial aim was to find out indications, goals, contraindications, method of work, methods and techniques used, benefit, involvement of a social worker in EAAT. A qualitative research strategy was chosen. Polling method and semi-standardized interview technique were used. The sample was made up of four parents of clients with a health, mental or combined disability who are clients of the organization AMBRA Association. This sample was also supplemented by a social worker who regularly takes part in Equine assisted activities and therapies. The informants were selected by a dedicated quota sampling. The research was carried out at the AMBRA Association in Černá in the Vysocina Region. Through qualitative research, the main and partial research questions were answered. Most surprising were the results regarding the contribution of Equine assisted activities and therapies. The benefit of EAAT is significant in the area of self-confidence or self-assurance of the client. Positive results are also in terms of motivation, communication, improvement also occurs in behavioral or social competencies. Regarding field of fine and gross motor skills, interesting results have also emerged. Parents of clients also welcome cooperation with a social worker. The results also show that client's parents would appreciate the introduction of a new service, namely therapeutic carriage driving. Therapeutic carriage driving is suitable for clients who can not ride or sit on horseback due to higher weight or health complications. The bachelor thesis also includes a SWOT analysis, which provides interesting information about operation of the organization AMBRA Association.
