The effect of increased neck muscle tension on tinnitus
Zlesáková, Adéla ; Oplatková, Lenka (advisor) ; Babková, Lenka (referee)
This research bachelor thesis deals with the problem of cervicogenic somatosensory tinnitus with a focus on the effect of increased tension of the neck muscles. The theoretical part provides a brief anatomical description of the studied area in the context of the changes that occur there and lead to the development of tinnitus. It then elaborates on the diagnostic procedures and finally on the possibilities of intervention, which are within the competence of the physiotherapist. The practical part consists of case studies of two patients. The knowledge from the theoretical part was used to construct the examination and therapy that was then applied to these patients in order to verify the effect of manual therapy in tinnitus patients. A Visual Analogue Scale, the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory questionnaire and a goniometric examination assessing cervical spine range of motion were used for objectification. Patients' condition was assessed before and after the 10 week long therapy. The aim of the therapy was to relieve hypertonus in the neck region and subsequently reduce the intensity of tinnitus.

Comparison of tinnitus treatment by selected therapeutic approaches.
Klíma, Jiří ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Vláčilová, Ivana (referee)
Author: Bc. Jiří Klíma Title: Comparison of tinnitus treatment with selected therapeutic approaches Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effectiveness of selected therapeutic approaches in the treatment of subjective chronic tinnitus. These approaches are manual therapy, low-power laser therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy. Another aim is to determine which of these approaches is the most effective. Last but not least aim is to summarize the current knowledge about tinnitus. Methods: The thesis is processed in the form of literature review. First, the current theoretical background is described, then the objectives of the thesis and research questions are set. Then the methodology is described and the results are presented and discussed. Last but not least, the limitations of this thesis and the studies are described. Results: In total, 13 studies were found that met the criteria. Based on these studies, it appears that both manual therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy lead to a significant reduction in tinnitus severity in some patients with subjective chronic tinnitus. The results of studies investigating the effect of low-power laser therapy have been inconsistent, but most have concluded that it is also effective in reducing the severity of tinnitus in patients with...

Problematics of musculosceletal dysfunction and chains
Hofman, David ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Kučerová, Ilona (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system. It discusses the possible causing factors of these disorders, their manifestations on the body, diagnostics and the possibilities of influencing them. Since this is a very common phenomenon on the human body, I chose mainly the muscle, fascia and joint structure, which I explored and described in more depth. The experimental part of this work aims to demonstrate the possible impact of the intervention of the 1.-3. ribs and claviculosternal joint as described by Ludmila Mojžíšová on the muscles of the neck (m. scalenus anterior, medius and sternocleidomastoideus). To obtain results, I used the ultrasound examination of the diameter of these muscles and Visual analogue scale (VAS) to obtain pain values before and after the intervention using this method. Title: Problematics of musculoskeletal dysfunction and chains Objectives: The first goal of this paper is to collect currently recognized sources about musculoscletal functional disorders. I have described origins of this kind of problems, manifestation of these disorders and kinds of therapy. I've focused on functional disorders of muscle, fascia and joint. Second goal of this thesis is to evaluate a top-rated Prague rehabilitation school's method. Part of Prague...

The effect of manual therapy of the cervical spine on standing balance of violinists measured by CDP
Pitřincová, Marie ; Vomáčková, Helena (advisor) ; Satrapová, Lenka (referee)
Title: The effect of manual therapyof the cervical spine on standingbalance of violinists measured by CDP Objectives: The intention of this thesis is to describe most frequent functional changes of musculoskeletal apparatus of violinists. Secondly, to track and react to these changes with appropriate manual there of the cervical spine. Thirdly, to find out if this therapy has an effect maintaining postural stability by testing on a posturograph using the SOT protocol. Methods: This is a pilot study that uses subjective and objective examinations. Subjectively, the functional changes of the musculoskeletal apparatus were examined and then their frequency within the proband group was evaluated (n = 10, 2 men and 8 women). Within the objective examination, 15 parameters of postural stability were monitored under certain conditions. Using the Wilcoxon Pair Test, situations before and after manual therapy of the cervical spine were compared. The statistical significance level was set to α = 0.05 for this test. Results: The study has shown that violinists have some functional changes in the musculoskeletal apparatus in common. Their most frequent blockade is AO joint (9 out of 10 violins), the most common hypertonus can be found in flexors of the forearm of the left hand (9 out of10) andthetrapezius and...

Effect of Ankle and Foot joints mobilization on balance improvement, analyzed by Computerized Dynamic Posturography
Baqhoum, Salem ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Helena (referee)
Effect of Ankle and Foot joints mobilization on Stability improvement, analyzed by Computerized Dynamic Posturography. The aim of the study was to observe if joint mobilization of ankle and foot joints would improve the stability using the by Computerized Dynamic Posturography (neurocom) as a measurement tool. The methods that are used from the research are based on the knowledge which was obtained during the study of physiotherapy program at FTVS UK. All the participants are between the ages of 20 to 30 years, with no specific diagnose. All the 40 participants were being randomly divide into 2 groups. The control group and the experimental group, each group will have their Stability tested twice on the CPD (NeuroCom). The control group will be measured first, and after 20 minutes they will be measured again without any examination or therapeutic intervention. The experimental group was measured twice, first before the examination of joint play and the therapy, then the examination of joint play was done and any restricted joints were noted and treated, later, the participants were measured again for possible improvement. Joint play examination and therapy take about 20 minutes. Stability analyses take about 20 minutes too. The project doesn't include subjects with severe lower extremity injuries (eg,...

The influence of manual therapy on visual acuity.
Kasalová, Anna ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Helena (referee)
Title of thesis: The effect of manual therapy on visual acuity. Goal: The main goal is to present theoretical facts about manual eye therapy, to examine the effect of manual therapy of oculomotor muscles on selected parameters: visual acuity, subjective evaluation using a questionnaire and eye muscle pain in patients with refractive errors and eye accommodation disorders. Methods: The research was completed by 20 patients with refractive errors and eye accommodation disorders, from aged 18 to 55 years. An initial and subsequent treatment and exit examination and of eye muscles with the help of manual techniques, in particular, reciprocal inhibition and mobilization of eyeball were performed. The initial examination was performed by an optometrist, who assessed visual acuity by using an Autorefractometr, Snellen optotype and Red-green test test. After than was performed the subjective evaluation questionnaire, then was performed palpation assessment of attachments of eye muscles. Palpation pain proband evaluated using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale.The resulting data were processed using statistical software R. A paired t-test was used to calculate p-values. Statistical significance was assessed at the critical significance level of 0.05 and 0.01. Results: Our measurement did not show a statically...

The usage of visceral manipulation on the patients with vertebrogenic disorders
Zetková, Barbora ; Zapletalová, Alena (advisor) ; Hálková, Jindřiška (referee)
BAKALÁŘSKÉ PRÁCE V AJ Author: Barbora Zetková Tutor: Bc. Alena Zapletalová Konzultant: Mgr. Silvie Táborská Title: The usage of visceral manipulation on the patients with vertebrogenic disorders Abstract: This bachelor thesis will be focusing on the osteopathic method of visceral manipulation, specifically its usage on the patients with vertebrogenic problems. The vertebrogenic problems are the second most common causes of a doctor's visit. However, determining the cause and source of the problem is not always easy and the patient is often referred for an examination and treatment to the various specialists, unfortunately mostly without any effects. Visceral manipulation looks at with the vertebrogenic disorders in the context of viscerovertebral relations and in therapy it focuses mainly on the organ system. The knowledge which the VM offers could thus be a way of treating these problems. This thesis is divided into the theoretical part and the practical part. The theoretical part is further divided into two main sections. The first one is focusing on the vertebrogenic difficulties and the viscerovertebral relations. The second section is focusing mainly on the VM method itself. The practical part contains two diagnostic cases of vertebrogenic patients. The main goal of this thesis is to provide...
