Articles could be written in English, Czech, German, Slovak or Spanish. Different names of the studied disease were chosen as key words: adhesive capsulitis, contracted shoulder, frozen shoulder and periarthritis. Only articles with most probands between the ages of 30 and 70 were included. Persons with associated shoulder joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (excluding diabetes mellitus) were excluded. The analysis of selected articles was performed from clearly compiled tables for individual studies and from 3 summary tables of associated individual physiotherapeutic...

The efficiency of the usage of laser therapy in the Physiotherapy of the degenerative diseases
KRYTINÁŘOVÁ, Eva
The topic of this bachelor thesis is the application of laser therapy in the treatment of degenerative illnesses of the motion system, mainly osteoarthrosis. This paper covers the essence of laser therapy and its use, as well as the general treatment of osteoarthrosis. The advancement in the field of laser therapy happened in the second half of the previous century. Its effects are used in many fields, not only in medicine but also in physiotherapy. The main goal of this thesis was to state the basic working principle of lasers and the possible various laser therapies. Another goal was to research the possible uses of laser therapy and its effects on specific illnesses of the motion system, specifically osteoarthrosis. Osteoarthrosis affects approximately 10 12 % population. It is not only a very painful disease, but mainly it is a restraining factor, which obstructs living a high-quality life without restrictions of movement or regimen. This bachelor thesis is divided into three basic parts. The first part the general theoretical part, discusses the basic topics such as arthrosis in general, gonartrhosis and laser therapy. The chapter, in which lasers are addressed, states their history and working principles. Also included in this chapter are the determinations of dosage, the various laser-therapy devices, the biological effects and also the indications as well as the contraindications of this therapy. The second part the special theoretical part, focuses on the specific applications of laser therapy on patients with osteoarthrosis and it also offers a preview of the future of laser therapy. This part includes summary of the chosen clinical studies, which addressed the given topic. The third part the practical part, focuses on the applications of laser therapy as such. Based on observations and a secondary data analysis of information obtained from prescriptions, the application of the therapy on patients with knee osteoarthritis was evaluated. The result of the evaluation is that the therapy is generally carried out according to the programs of the specific devices. The subjects chosen for this thesis were 2 patients with gonartrhosis, who have been treated in Berta's spa resort in Třeboň and Medipont health center in České Budějovice. The doctor indicated physical therapy and kinesiotherapy for both patients. The patients had their case history created and attended the therapy three times per week. The total duration of the therapy was three to four weeks and the results were acquired using a qualitative research method. Using an analysis of information from medical documents, medical history and a kinesiologic examination, the data was gathered and formed into a case history. The foundation of the therapy was a thorough history-taking and a kinesiologic examination, which focused mainly on the examinations of knee joints. The selection of physiotherapeutic procedures was based on the findings in the kinesiologic examination. The therapy was individually designed and depended on the current state of the subjects. It was composed in a way, which complied with the ideas of the patients and at the same time, it would be possible for the patients to continue the kinesiotherapy in the consequent home care. Therefore education and the demonstration of possibilities were essential for the patients. Laser therapy was applied as a part the therapy. The therapy was a successful for both probands, mainly in regard of pain. It is anticipated that as a result of the long-term therapeutic plan, not only the lessening of the pain but also an increase of the range of motion and improvement of functions will occur. The acquired available data show, that it would be beneficial to continue with the laser therapy, which is still being improved, nevertheless the stated effects are more than convincing.
