Importance of foot for exercises of deep stabilizing muscles
TURKOVÁ, Alena
The issue of deep stabilization system is still topical at present as its dysfunction causes vertebrogenic problems, one of the most frequent causes of disability to work. The deep stabilization system represents a functional stabilization unit including particularly diaphragm, mm. multifidi, abdominal wall muscles and pelvic bottom muscles. Balanced interaction between muscles is important as this system participates in backbone stabilization and is involved in all moves. A foot is an important part of stabilization system as stabilization of vertically standing body starts in the foot inner muscles. Qualitative research, the method of case study was applied on the data collection. The research was performed for 9 to 12 weeks on a sample of 4 probands who suffered from vertebrogenic problems. The examination of probands consisted of anamnesis, static and dynamic check-up of aspections, palpation examination, examination of the deep stabilization system by functional test and examination of feet. The aim of the thesis was to outline how the use of the foot affects the deep stabilization system and to propose a set of exercises and aids for its correct activation. The theoretical part of the thesis describes foot anatomy and function and the most important part of the deep stabilization system, its examination and therapeutic possibilities including proper use of aids. The practical part presents the aims of the research, describes the methodology and results of the research elaborated in the form of case studies. The Annex also contains a set of exercises affecting the deep stabilization system with application of balance aids. The research results show that body posture has improved in all the probands, all the patients were capable of isolated contraction of the individual DSS parts and functional involvement of the whole system. Influencing of the feet and the whole system led to better stability and graphesthesia on the foot sole, backache has subsided. This thesis may be used in physiotherapeutic clinical practice or as educational material for patients.
