The relationship between man and his working environment - applied ergonomics in relation to functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system
KRUPIČKOVÁ, Nikola
The aim of this thesis is to use applied ergonomics together with physiotherapeutic intervention in an engineering company, namely ENGEL s.r.o. (private limited company) in Kaplice, to evaluate the working environment and relieve employees from musculoskeletal pain. The theoretical part deals with ergonomics and work positions, basic anatomy, theories of musculoskeletal disorders and the most common diseases resulting from poor and non-ergonomic positions during work. The data collection methodology was conducted at Engel with the cooperation of three probands. Based on the initial examination, an appropriate therapeutic intervention, i.e., a short-term and long-term rehabilitation plan, was selected using education of appropriate movement stereotypes and ergonomic positions during work activities. The initial examination included history taking, physical examination and completion of ergonomic questionnaires. In addition, an assessment of the workplace was performed using ergonomic checklists or test batteries. Therapy sessions were conducted over a period of three months. During each visit, manual therapy was performed, the exercises from the previous session were corrected, and new exercises were learnt. The exit examination was conducted in the form of an interview after eight therapy sessions and was compared with the entry examination. This thesis may be used as an educational material by anybody - physiotherapists or general public - with the interest in this subject.

Program Škola zad jako řešení MSD
Gilbertová, Sylva ; Malý, Stanislav
Jednou z nejpropracovanějších a účinných intervenčních programů v prevenci bolestí zad je Škola zad (dále jen ŠZ) ─ Back School. Stručně řečeno, ŠZ poskytuje uživateli programu (dále jen uživatel) základní teoretické a praktické dovednosti pro snížení bolesti zad a jejich prevenci – podstatný je tedy efekt výchovný, behaviorální s důrazem na změnu pohybových návyků. Vychází z předpokladu, že páteř je v pracovní i mimopracovní činnosti přetěžována a pomocí ŠZ se snažíme vysvětlit, jak k tomuto přetížení dochází a jak si můžeme v různých zátěžových situacích pomoci.

Ergonomics and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders in dentistry - focusing on dentists and dental hygienists
Bečková, Kateřina ; Konopáčová, Eva (advisor) ; Hálková, Jindřiška (referee)
The aim of this work is to describe the issue of ergonomics in dental practice and evaluate its compliance among Czech dentists and dental hygienists. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with risk factors affecting dental practice and the consequences of non-compliance with correct ergonomics. Furthermore, it deals with ergonomic aspects from the individual positions of the dentist or dental hygienist, through the ergonomic arrangement of the work place to the appropriate working time layout with regular breaks used, inter alia, for performing stretching and compensation exercises. In the practical part, the working conditions and habits of dentists and dental hygienists were mapped on the basis of the questionnaire in terms of ergonomics and their awareness of ergonomics was ascertained. Furthermore, the occurrence of musculoskeletal problems associated with the performing of their profession was mapped and the results compared with domestic and foreign studies. In combination with literature information, educational material was created as an output, showing release, stretching, and compensation exercises to balance muscle imbalances.

Retrograde study of the effect of the shock ware therapy for the functional disorders of the musculosceletal system
Horáková, Kateřina ; Doubková, Lucie (advisor) ; Veselá, Jana (referee)
This thesis assesses the effectiveness of shock wave therapy for dysfunctional disorders of the musculoskeletal system. While we are well aware of the physical principles and history of shock wave generators, opinion differs on the treatment effectiveness mechanisms. The theoretical part of this work explains the effects of shock waves on various types of tissue, the differentiation of the cells, and the analgetic effect of therapy. It summarizes the indications, side effects and contraindications of shock wave therapy. The research part of this thesis deals with the effectiveness of shock wave therapy at the Department of Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine at the Motol University Hospital, which specialises in various musculoskeletal disorders. This thesis evaluates the correlation between the effectiveness of shock wave therapy and length of time the patient has experienced difficulties before undergoing treatment. This thesis also reviews whether the number of treatment applications has the capability to influence the outcome of therapy. The study is controlled by a control group of 22 patients. The total effectiveness of shock wave therapy is p = 1,12*10-10 . The shock wave therapy effectiveness of patients with heel spur is p = 0,00176. The shock wave therapy effectiveness of patients with...
