Perspective of physiotherapy on barefoot walking
Macháčková, Lucie ; Kejhová, Eva (advisor) ; Jeníček, Jakub (referee)
This theoretical-research bachelor thesis focuses on the impact of barefoot walking on the musculoskeletal system from a physiotherapy perspective. The theoretical part of the thesis presents a current overview of the issue of barefoot walking. It examines the impact of footwear on the foot, differences between walking in regular shoes and barefoot walking, the transition to barefoot walking and its associated positives, risks, and contraindications. The work also addresses the issue of so-called barefoot shoes. Barefoot walking is considered one of the most effective ways to strengthen the leg muscles and improve their shock-absorbing capacity. It also contributes to maintaining the proper morphology of the foot, to higher sensorimotor control, and to reducing the risk of foot deformities and infections. The result of the special part of the thesis is in the format of a systematic review, which included a total of twenty clinical studies. The goal was to determine the impact of barefoot walking on various areas of the musculoskeletal system, to be able to comprehensively assess its benefits and possible risks. A large part of the included studies showed positive impact of barefoot walking, on the muscles of the lower limbs and the pelvic floor, the muscles of the back and neck, as well as on the arch of...

Influence of defferent kinds of running shoes on stability and risk of injury in long - distance runners
Krchová, Zuzana ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Doubková, Lucie (referee)
The main problems concerning birth of running injuries is their unclear ethiopathogenesis and high frequency. Injuries are often lined with forces affected on tread-down which have to be defused by running shoes. There are also opinions that currently used footwear can cause injuries on the contrary. This work explores impact of particular types of running shoes for influencing of stability. Methods: There are compared two groups of runners: minimalists and classic runners. Their stability is examined with help of posturography in three versions: barefoot, classic and minimalistic footwear. Thereafter there is analyzed relation among stability, used footwear, training usage and frequency of injuries. Results: Minimalists and classic runners have the same stability while they are barefoot. Usage of footwear does not cause significant deterioration of stability in any of groups. Nevertheless most of runners subjectively evaluate the variant of testing barefoot as the simplest. There is more frequent occurence of flat foot among classic runners in comparison with minimalists. Flat foot increases risk of formation injuries, on the contrary, regular compensation motion activity decreases this risk.
