Changes of posturality after operation according Nuss
Počtová, Barbora ; Bitnar, Petr (advisor) ; Čech, Zdeněk (referee)
Background: Pectus excavatum is the most common deformation of the chest, affecting mainly boys. The etiology is unclear. Objective: The aim of this study is to characterize the patients with pectus excavatum and clarify changes of posture after surgical correction by Nuss. Method: 19 patients (17.3 ± 1.9 years) with pectus excavatum chest deformity were tested a day before and 6 months after surgical correction of the chest according to Nuss. Testing included: clinical examination of range of motion in the shoulder and hip joint, range of motion of the spine Thomayer test, Shober and Stibor distances, as well as paraclinic test mCTSIB on Balance Master ® System and the questionnaire method by means of Pectus Excavatum Evaluation Questionnaire. Statistical significance was determined at 0.05. Results and Discussion: The results show that the correction of the chest has a significant influence on the evaluation of and satisfaction with appearance, increases range of motion of shoulder joints and spine, and positively affects postural stability and balance. Conclusion: A simple and non-invasive tests have shown that the effect of correction of the chest is not just a cosmetic nature and can be an incentive to continue to study this issue.

Vyhnánek, Štěpán ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
Title: Comparison of Rehabilitation Procedures in the Operative and Conservative Approach to Manage Chest deformity in Children Aim: The aim of this thesis is to determine the efficacy of a conservative approach in the treatment of inverted chest and to compare the effect of therapy with the surgical approach. Methodology of thesis: At the beginning of this project, a total of 9 children and adolescents (n = 9) from 10 years to 21 years of age (mean 15 years), male and female (8: 1) participated. All participants were diagnosed with thoracic deformity of pectus excavatum, which was not indicated for surgery. At the beginning of the project, all probands passed an initial examination, which included an obtaining of anthropometric values using a pelvimeter and a tailor's meter, to assess the anthropometric index and chest circumferences during breathing. Subsequently, a rehabilitation instructions have been given to all participants and all participants have obtained a printed version of these exercises. Results: The results of this study show that in patients with pectus excavatum, the regular and long term exercises, can bring the expected positive results. Especially in subjective complaints, chest flexibility and postural improvement. The final effect of thoracic deformity changes after 3 months...
Efficacy of education regarding child patients with congenital deformations of pectoral wall in University Hospital Motol
Popková, Zuzana ; Heczková, Jana (advisor) ; Eckelová, Ivana (referee)
The aim of this paper was, at first, to evaluate the effectiveness of education of child patients with inborn deformation of pectoral wall in the University Hospital Motol in the MIRPE (Minimally Invasive Pectus Excavatum) operation correcting the inborn deformation of pectoral wall by using of a metal bar and for its surgery extraction after three years. At second, to map the effectiveness of education of child patients done by the hospital personnel during their hospitalization in the University Hospital Motol. This paper also presents its own opinions of both groups of respondents on the current system of education done in the clinical practice. According to the available sources there was not in the Czech Republic any similar study about this problem realized up to now. There were 116 respondents involved in the research who went through the MIRPE surgery and the extraction of their bar in the University Hospital Motol. The data that were received by the method of own constructive form was further statistically processed. From the analysis of the results came up a need to improve the education in the pre-surgery time, and to better develop the system of education during the hospitalization of child patients. There was an interest confirmed from the researched respondents about printed...
Monitoring of the Respiratory Functions in Patients after the Rib Cage Surgery according to Nuss
Svobodová, Jana ; Bitnar, Petr (advisor) ; Smolíková, Libuše (referee)
Objective: The goal of the thesis "Monitoring of the Respiratory Functions in patients after the Rib Cage Surgery according to Nuss" was to confront the present knowledge about respiratory functions and the strength of respiratory muscles of patients with inherited pectoral deformity pectus excavatum, to compare it with my own measuring and to find out about their development after the surgical correction according to Nuss. Methodology: There were 15 patients being monitored (13 men and 3 women), who underwent spirometric and bodypletysmographic examination and the occlusal mouth pressures were determined before the surgery. The same pulmonary function tests were run in the course of 4 to 10 months (7.1 months on average) on all the patients, the control determination of mouth pressures is available for 13 of them. Results: In the entry tests, compared to adequate values the patients in this file had increased residual lung capacities (RV 142%, p=0.001; ITGV 116.2%, p=0.004; RV%TLC 133.8%, p=0.002; ITGV% 116.1%, p=0.001) at the expense of statistically lower vital lung capacity (VC 81.9%, p=0.0004) and inspiratory reserve capacity (IC 84.2%, p=0.0003), while the total lung capacity remained unaltered (TLC 99.7%, p=0.877). The obstructive parameters of these patients were significantly altered (FEV1 95.7%,...
