Use of kinesio tape in patients after ankle sprain
Minaříková, Tereza ; Plecháčová, Marie (advisor) ; Kulich, Václav (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the problem of ankle sprains and the use of kinesiotape. The aim of the thesis is to describe and use the application of kinesio tape according to Brian Mulligan concept in patients after ankle sprain. The bachelor thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part contains a description of the anatomy and kinesiology of the foot and ankle joint. It also deals with the problems of ankle sprain, mechanism of injury, treatment and physiotherapy. At the end of the theoretical part, the method of kinesiology taping, Mulligan concept and the MWM (Mobilization with movement) techniques are also described. The practical part describes the data collection, results and their evaluation. Four patients after ankle sprains were involved in the practical part and randomly divided into two groups. Both groups of patients received a standard physiotherapy intervention. This intervention was based on manual techniques and active exercises. At the end of each therapy session, the tape was aplied on two patients. In the appendix, a description of the of the kinesio tape associated with movement according to Brian Mulligan together with photographic documentation of application is included. Functional tests such as the Weight-Bearing Lunge Test,...

Application of physiotherapy in treating myasthenia gravis
Ondráčková, Radka ; Smolíková, Libuše (advisor) ; Zounková, Irena (referee)
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease affecting the neuromuscular transmission. It manifests in muscular weakness and tiredness, which characteristically fluctuate and change throughout the time. The most typically affected muscles are extraocular, mimic, oropharyngeal and the muscles of lower and upper extremities. An examination of affected groups of muscles and preserving the function of respiratory muscles are essential. The danger of respiratory difficulties is aggravated by worsening physical condition, which comes as a consequence of muscular weakness and with the onset of the myasthenic crisis. This paper is aimed at using physiotherapy in treating a myasthenic patient. Considering the patient's condition, a respiratory physiotherapy, orofacial stimulation and kinesiotape may be used in therapy of these patients. The case study mentions also sensorimotor stimulation and nordic walking to improve physical fitness. The aim of the therapy is timely prevention of potential complications and their solving. The paper contains a case study of a myasthenic patient.

The Effect of Kinesiotaping on Pain Threshold Alteration of Lower Limbs and Pelvis in Latin American Sport Dance Couples
Černocká, Michaela ; Prokešová, Michaela (advisor) ; Vláčilová, Ivana (referee)
Title: The Effect of Kinesiotaping on Pain Threshold Alteration of Lower Limbs and Pelvis in Latin American Sport Dance Couples Objectives: The aim of this study is to monitor the alteration of the pain threshold in predilective points of lower limbs and pelvis during loaded regime and to compare these changes with the control group with no kinesio tape. Methods: This experimental study employs intervention of kinesio tape applied to inhibit m. gastrocnemius medialis et lateralis and for mechanical correction of hallux valgus. There were five couples in experimental group and five couples in control group. The pain threshold change was objectivised by pressure algometer. Results: The measured data showed that the kinesiotaping has a positive influence on pain threshold in sport dance couples. In most dancers (9 out of 10) kinesio tape contributed to increasing or smaller decreasing of pain threshold with respect to the other lower limb. In comparison with the control group, pain threshold of dancers in the experimental group increased or decreased less even despite acute or subacute injury of the taped lower limb. One more finding is that the postural function has an influence on the pain threshold change after load. Pain threshold had a downward tendency in investigated persons with a worse...

The effect of kinesiotaping on postural control of stance
Havlová, Michaela ; Bitnar, Petr (advisor) ; Čech, Zdeněk (referee)
Postural stability is necessary for all human activities. Management od postural control is provided especially by central nervous system. For management are essential afferent information from vestibular, visual and somatosensory system. Modification of any of these inputs could have influence postural stability. Changes of exteroceptive perception can be achieved by the application of kinesio tape. Kinesiotaping is currently very popular therapeutic method, which is attributed to the wide range of effects. In the theoretical part of this thesis are described these effects, including the results of scientific studies that are engaged in verify the effects. Experimental part of this thesis was focused on the objectification of any changes of postural stability after application of kinesio tape on dorsal and ventral side of the trunk in healthy individuals without injury or other disorders. For the examination were used two tests of Balance Master® System, the modified clinical test of sensory interaction on balance and the test limits of stability. The results were satistically evaluated at the level α = 0.05. Due to kinesio tape were observed no siginificant changes in the mean sway velocity of center of gravity. There were also found no significant changes of parameters that evaluate the transmission of...

The effect of kinesio tape on the area of knee on locomotor activity in patients after stroke
Trčálková, Pavla ; Chalupská, Tereza (advisor) ; Brožová, Kamila (referee)
Title: The effect of kinesio tape on the area of knee on locomotor activity in patients after stroke Abstract: This bachelor thesis is focused on evaluating the effect of kinesio tape on locomotor activity in patients after stroke. The purpose of this thesis is to compare quality of stereotype of the gait of this patients before and after application of kinesio tape on the area of the knee joint. The theoretical part includes detailed information on kinesio tape, its characteristics, its effects on the human body and how to use it in practice. The issue of stroke is outlined only marginally, mainly describes the clinical picture of patients with this disease. The pathologic gait of these patients is more discussed in more datail in the next charter, which deals with walking, its kinesiology and its neurophysiology. The following section deals with the anatomy of the knee joint and again is described the problem in this area of patients after stroke. The practical part is used the knowledge of the theoretical part. It contains three case reports of three patients, who had kinesio tape applied to the posterior side of knee joint, popliteal fossa and the ventral side of the thigh, over m. vastus lateralis. The duration of application was 24 hours, during which the patient had not any other kind of therapy. The...
