BACHELOR THESIS ABSTRACT Author: Jan Imramovský Supervisor: Mgr. Jakub Jeníček, Ph.D. Title: Physiotherapy in patients with medial epicondylitis of sports-related etiology. With a focus on baseball players Abstract: The bachelor thesis is of a theoretical-practical type. The thesis deals with problematics of medial epicondylitis in baseball players. Medial epicondylitis is a widely known condition. However, baseball players are atypical population with atypical needs in terms of specific approach in prevention, treatment and returning to sport. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis provides in three parts a comprehensive insight into studied area. The first part describes relevant anatomy, histology nad kinesiology of the elbow. The second part contains an introduction into baseball as a game and in particular its most specific motion, the pitiching motion. Part three discusses the epidemiology, etiopatogenesis, clinical picture, diagnostics and both conservative and radical approach to treatment of medial epicondylitis.

Huňáček, Ondřej ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Reckziegelová, Petra (referee)
Title: Evaluation of cryotherapy efficacy in medial and lateral epicondylitis Objectives: Finding out whether the combination of cryotherapy and manual physiotherapy statistically significantly affects the pain and function of the elbow joint in lateral and medial epicondylitis. Furthermore, a comparison of the group undergoing manual physiotherapeutic treatment with cryotherapy as an additive component of rehabilitation versus the group undergoing manual therapy only. Methods: Data collection was performed using a standardized Patient-Rated Elbow Evaluation (PREE) questionnaire with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), through which probands evaluated the effect of procedures used in the control and experimental group on elbow pain and function. To determine the efficacy of examined intervention, the data collected before and after the experiment were used. To compare the control and the experimental group, the differences achieved for each group were used. For the statistical analysis the parametric tests were used, since Shapiro-Wilk tests showed a normal distribution of the data. A two-sample t-test was used to determine the homogeneity of the groups and also to compare the results between the groups. Paired t-test was used to test the change in condition before and after the experiment. All...
