Využití negativní termoterapie ve fyzioterapii poruch posturální stability u pacientů s diabetickou neuropatií
SVOBODA, Tomáš
Diabetic neuropathy is a chronic complication of both types of diabetes mellitus affecting the autonomic and peripheral nervous systems. Based on damaged nerve fibers, it bothers patients not only with subjective symptoms, but also affects the psyche and quality of life of a person. The goals of the work included a summary of physiotherapy methods used in the treatment of neuropathy, an evaluation of the effect of kinesiotherapy and cold-water immersion on postural stability and the creation of educational material for self-therapy. The thesis is written in the form of case reports of three patients who underwent examination focused on parameters associated with neuropathy and postural stability and intervention with the procedures before mentioned for a period of thirty days. The results of individual patients did not change significantly after completing the procedures. The muscle test (patients 1 and 3), sense of position and locomotion (patients 1 and 2), vibration sensation (patients 2 and 3), EPE, MVL (patient 1), RT (patient 3), FOAM-EC (patient 2 and 3) and Modified CTSIB (patient 1) improved, deterioration occurred in the muscle test (patient 2), sense of position (patient 3), Limits of stability (patients 1 and 3), RT, DCL (patient 1), MVL (patient 3).Due to the heterogeneity of the patients and the mutual use of kinesiotherapy and cold water immersion, it is difficult to compare the results of the patients with each other and to evaluate which modality had a greater influence on the results. Kinesiotherapy (balance exercises) has a positive effect on postural stability with the support of studies. In the case of cold exposure, this effect is not clear, even studies do not agree. Based on the results and studies, cold exposure can be used to reduce subjectively perceived symptoms.

Influence of Wim Hof method on freediver performance
Pilušová, Viktorie ; Heller, Jan (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title: Influence of Wim Hof method on freediver performance Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to find out whether Wim Hof's method (WHM) can demonstrably improve the performance of a freediver and whether, as an added component of regeneration in his training unit, it can demonstrably contribute to the improvement of selected physiological parameters, compared to a group practicing Pranayama in combination with cold exposure and meditation and a control group without intervention. Another goal is to compare the results obtained in the individual groups for a period of two and four weeks of measurement and thus objectify the effect of the selected intervention. Methods: As part of the issue of improving the athlete's performance, selected physiological parameters of individuals engaged in freediving on the breath were observed. For the implementation, the WHM was used, which uses the connection of psychological and physical resistance to stress factors. A total of 32 healthy male subjects in the age range of 32-61 years participated in the study, who were randomly divided by lot into 3 as closely as possible groups of 10-11 members each for WHM or Pranayama training, or into a control group. The experiment consisted of an initial measurement, where input data was taken from the participants and...

Fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis. Subtitle: The impact of negative thermotherapy on fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis
Dědinová, Kristýna ; Novotná, Klára (advisor) ; Sládková, Petra (referee)
BACHELOR THESIS ABSTRACT Author: Kristýna Dědinová Supervisor: Mgr. Klára Novotná, Ph.D. Title: Fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis: The impact of negative thermotherapy on fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis Abstract: The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and the effect of negative thermotherapy on this fatigue. The main aim of the study is to determine whether it is possible to alleviate fatigue in patients with MS using local negative thermotherapy (specifically using a special cooling cap). The secondary aim is to observe the impact of the outside temperature on fatigue and performance in functional tests in patients with MS. The thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part describes the multiple sclerosis, fatigue as common symptom of MS and possible effect of negative thermotherapy. The practical part is focused on the effect of local negative thermotherapy on fatigue and related symptoms in group of people with MS. The following functional tests were chosen to evaluate the effect of negative thermotherapy: Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), Nine-Hole Peg Test (9-HPT) and Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT). Fatigue was assessed using two questionnares: Modified Fatigue Impact...

Passive rehabilitation affecting on spasticity of multiplex sclerosis
Prášil, Jakub ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Foubíková, Bohdana (referee)
Title: The influence of a passive rehabilitation on spasticity in multiple sclerosis Objectives: The main objective is to summarize the current knowledge about multiple sclerosis and the possibilities of influencing the spasticity as a serious symptom. Another objective is to verify the effectiveness of the antispastic passive rehabilitation of the lower limbs of selected patient in practice. Methods: Verification of the effectiveness of the system of antispastic passive rehabilitation of the lower limbs was through a qualitative research. For the work design is used the type of qualitative experiment. The research sample is a person with spasticity in the lower limbs. In the first two parts of the work was used an analysis of scientific literature and a content analysis. The strategy of data obtaining is also in the form of observation, interviewing, measuring, scale and variety. A medical documentation, anamnesis, casuistry and a secondary analysis were used. Results: Individual use of each method resulted in the influence of spasticity only for a short time. Mobility was affected in the sense of passive movement the most after the soft techniques and massage therapy. The most striking results were achieved after the use of all methods when the spasticity was positively influenced in accordance...
