Pavelková, Anna ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Neuwirthová, Svatava (referee)
Author: Bc. Anna Pavelková Title: Correlation of physical activity, motor skills and flat feet in children aged 7-15 years Objectives: The aim of the diploma thesis is to map the level of physical activity of selected age population of children that were indicated for physiotherapy, based on a questionnaire of physical activity PAQ-C. To monitor whether we find physical activity at levels 1 and 2 out (low physicalactivity)outof 5 levelspossible in children with flatfeet,on the basisof the PAQ- C questionnaire. Further objectify the flatfeet using a podoscope, and determine the level of the flatfeet according to Clement. Confirm / disprove the effect of the level of flatfeet on the achievement of the percentile (component and total) of the test battery MABC-2 in the evaluation of motor skills (especially balance and gross motor skills). Methods: A group of 15 children aged ± 10 years with diagnosed flatfeet (indicated for individual or group physiotherapy) formed a research sample for our study. Probands filled out an anamnestic questionnaire and a questionnaire on physical activity PAQ-C. Photographs of the plantogram of patients' were taken from the podoscope using a Huawei P9 Lite mobile camera (2017) placed on a tripod. The level of flatfeet was evaluated according to Clement based on the...

Hiršová, Pavlína ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Helena (referee)
Title: Effect of constitutional hypermobility, obesity and the condition of the foot arch on the results of the Véle test of primary school children Objektives: The aim of my study was to establish whether the foot arch, scope of joint mobility and body weight affects the postural stability of primary school children. Another aim was to compare the incidence of functional flatfoot, constitutional hypermobility and obesity or overweight among school age children. Methods: The data were processed from selected primary schools in Prague 6. In total participed 854 children 7 - 12 years old. The used methods were common and accessible physiotherapy methods. The stability was evaluated according Véle test. Flat foot was examined aspection in standing, assessment of flexibility was performed while standing on tiptoes. Hypermoblity was determined using test according to Janda and body weight was determined by body mass index. Data were evaluated in Microsoft Office Excel.

Author: Jana Bouzková Institution: Faculty Hospital of Hradec Králové Rehabilitation Clinic Title: The use of Kinesiology Taping Method in the treatment of pathological behavior aker of the lower limbs in children Supervisor: Mgr. Petr Molnár Number of pages: 65 Number of attachments: 2 Year of Completion: 2015 Keywords: arches of the foot, pes planovalgus, valgus heel, Elastic therapeutic tape, correction techniques The theme of this thesis is the early recognition of flat foot in preschool children and the possibility of influencing this health condition by a suitable application Elastic therapeutic tape technique. In the theoretical part I filed a categorized knowledge about the functional anatomy of foot muscular and joint complex, of foot genesis particularity as well as of the disorder etiology. This part is followed by presenting a new, conservative method of treatment, its effects and application techniques. The empirical part contains case interpretations of two probands with the pes planus diagnosis. By applying the kinesiology tape, we influence the foot to change its pathological position into neutral position. By this we stimulate the afferentation and change the movement pattern consequently. The utilisation comes out of universally valid principles of neurophysiology that allow the...

Physiotherapeutic approaches for patients with flat-foot in different age categories
VANDOVÁ, Alena
Flat foot, pes planus, belongs to common diagnosis encountered by orthopaedic surgeons. It is described as the fall or loss of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. Pes planus often occurs in children as well as adults. In the theoretical part of the thesis the foot anatomy is defined, along with the structure of the plantar vault and supporting tendons and ligaments. Furthermore, the development of the plantar vault with its relation to other parts of the body is outlined. The last chapter focuses on flat foot, its cause, impact and prevention. The aim of the thesis is to map the possibilities of therapeutic and physiotherapeutic influence of the plantar vault; describe and evaluate the findings of patients' therapy in different age categories. The information for the practical part was gathered on the basis of qualitative research, with the casuistic approach. Six male patients took part in the research, divided into three groups according to their ages. The therapy lasted for eight weeks. Before the start of the therapy I created a training unit, which was altered individually on the base of actual abilities of the patients. The unit included exercise with elements of sensomotoric stimulation, positions from dynamic neuromuscular stabilisation with the support of the correct foot positioning and exercise for the awareness of unwinding the sole of the foot. Improvement has been found in all patients' foot condition after the therapy. Better activation of the short feet muscles was recognised, as well as preferable overload of the toes. In some cases apparent correction of the longitudinal arch of the foot occurred. The therapy raised the patients' awareness of their own feet. This thesis could contribute to clinical practice of the physiotherapists or as a source of information for the general public.

Affecting the flat foot in children with Down syndrome
NOVOTNÁ, Gabriela
This bachelor thesis deals with one of the most common problems, from which the people with Down syndrome suffer flat foot. Flat foot appears along with this illness more often than with healthy population. This fact is given by the presence of excessive amount of collagen type VI, also by generalised low muscle tone (hypotonia) and hypermobility. Human foot is a very important part of the musculoskeletal system and performs statical, as well as dynamical function. The sole is capable of kindly taking to the terrain on which it moves. The foot ensures the stability of the either standing or moving body, moreover it is source of proprioceptive information from minor planta. To perform these functions, it is necessary that arch of the foot is properly created, to centre stance of joints of the foot be set and no other deformations be present. Many information about the treatment of healthy children for flat foot can be found in professional literature, but unfortunately no information about the treatment of children with such genetical burden so far. Many opinions about the flat foot treatment occur among the professional community, next to starting active exercise it is often recommended to wait with the treatment till further age or use only passive orthopaedical tools. This thesis aims to bring closer the possibilities of the flat foot treatment of children with Down syndrome. In the theoretical part, the Down syndrome is described, its cause of creation and characteristics. Attention is given to signs of the disease on the musculoskeletal system. Moreover, the theoretical part discusses the human foot, its anatomy, kinesiology, its functions and most common deformity flat foot. The diagnostics of the flat foot is described as well the Chippaux - Šmiřák method. The practical part of the thesis is carried out by casuistries with the help of qualitative research. The research set consists of three children with Down syndrome, two girls aged 11 and 8 and one boy aged 5. The therapy was carried out during 5 months. Once in 14 days the children came with their parents to Centre Arpida in České Budějovice for the therapy lead by me, and the children should then exercise daily at home with the help of their parents. At the beginning of the therapy, an entering kinesiological examination was done, footprints were made, as well as examination of standing with the help of dynamical pavement Zebris at the Rehabilitation department of Hospital České Budějovice, a.s. At the end of the therapy, this examination was carried out again and the occurring changes were described.

Semeráková, Nikola ; Kolářová, Jana (referee) ; Koťová, Markéta (advisor)
The bachelor work is focused on the distribution of pressure forces in the area of the foot with support from electromyography. Part of the work deals with the physiology of leg muscles and where the groups of muscles responsible for standing are defined. After that the thesis focuses on postural stability, the foot vault and biomechanical parameters. Additionally, there's the defining of the principles of electromyography and dynamic pavement. Furthermore, the thesis focused on describing how the data is processed, first from elektromyograph and then from dynamic pavement. Finally, there are outcomes from these devices, which are compared and evaluated,there are also partial parameters for electromyography and for the dynamic pavement.

Possibilities of physiotherapy and problematics of flat foot focus on pupils of older school age
PODRACKÁ, Veronika
This thesis deals with the issue of flatfoot in older school-age children and physiotherapy methods effective for this condition. The human foot underwent considerable changes during its evolution once a limb adapted to climbing, it gradually developed into an organ which enables humans locomotion and upright stance. Flatfoot is a rather common condition described as minimal to non-existent arch of the foot. The aim of this thesis is to list the physiotherapy methods which can be used to treat the condition in older school-age children, to suggest an exercise to help improve both the foot flexibility and the arch position, and to describe the effects of exercising on a person´s posture. The theoretical part of this thesis includes the description of the foot anatomy, foot functions and its functional relationships with other parts of the body. This part of my thesis also describes the flatfoot condition and possible therapy methods focused on children of older school age. The practical part is based on a qualitative research. The focus group of my research were three school children two girls aged 12 and 13 and a boy, 12 years old. The physiotherapy treatment was applied for eight weeks, once a week under my supervision, and the patients were asked to do the required set of exercises daily. The data was gathered during the initial and the final kinesiology examination and photos providing documentary evidence were enclosed. The physical examination included 3D scan assessment. Respective casuistries and both short-term and long-term individual rehabilitation plans were based on the processed data. The set of exercises was created beforehand and then modified during the therapy according to each patient´s physical ability and their current condition. The last therapy session included each patient´s subjective feedback concerning the therapy and its results. Positive results and a distinct improvement of the foot arch position and the body posture were achieved in each case.
