Musculoskeletal disorders related to the soldier's occupation
Strejciusová, Aneta ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
Author: Bc. Aneta Strejciusová Supervisor: PhDr. Tereza Nováková, Ph.D. Title: Musculoskeletal disorders related to the soldier's occupation Objectives: The main goal of this work was to find out how the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders is related to the performance of the profession among soldiers of the 13th Artillery Regiment of the Army of the Czech Republic. Another goal was to investigate which risk factors, according to the respondents, most often occur in the origin of their difficulties and to clarify the preventive strategies that the respondents most often use in practice. Methods: The research was conducted using a questionnaire survey. A questionnaire based on the standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) was used to obtain data. The research group consisted of 196 respondents, both male and female soldiers of the 13th Artillery Regiment of the Army of the Czech Republic, who answered questions related mainly to work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Subsequently, the data was analyzed and conclusions drawn. Results: 35,7 % of respondents had at least one experience with work-related musculoskeletal disorder. The most frequently reported problems during the last 12 months were in the area of the lower back, where they occurred in 24,5 % of all respondents. This...

Possibilities of physiotherapy for professional flute players
ŠEVČÍKOVÁ, Kateřina
Music is an integral part of human life. Its therapeutic effects have been described, but it also affects professional musicians in terms of physiology. When playing a musical instrument, a player's body position is strongly influenced especially for musical instruments that require an asymmetrical posture. The flute belongs to this group of musical instruments. Playing this musical instrument may therefore involve certain health risks. The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to describe the movement stereotypes that may arise when playing the transverse flute, and then to propose compensatory exercises to mitigate the risks of musculoskeletal disorders in flutists. The theoretical part of the thesis includes a description of kinesiology concepts relevant to the subsequent practical part, such as movement stereotypes, deep stabilization system, posture and shoulder joint kinesiology. Furthermore, asymmetric loading and ergonomics of playing the flute are described. Health problems that can often occur in professional flute players are also discussed. The practical part describes qualitative research that was conducted with a group of flute players. A kinesiological examination was performed on the respondents. The lateral scapular slide test was used as an additional test to assess the relative position of the scapulae. The practical part also included the education of exercises from a pre-prepared exercise unit aimed at preventing the development of, as well as compensating for, movement stereotypes in flute players. From the results, we can say that the inclusion of compensatory exercises to the flute playing was beneficial for the respondents. The content of the paper could be used in clinical physiotherapy, and could also be useful for professional flutists themselves, or in the teaching of the flute in Primary Art Schools.

Disorders of the musculoskeletal system and muscular dysbalance in volleybal female players in different age categories
CANDROVÁ, Pavla
The bachelor thesis is focused on disorders of the musculoskeletal sytem and muscular dysbalance in volleyball female players. The topic of the work is very current. It deals with the influence of volleyball on the musculoskeletal system, what types of injuries are most often at volleyball players. The work is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part defines the injuries, acute and chronic, which occur injuries are typical for volleyball. Also the muscular dysbalances in volleyball are described, which volleyball as a one-sided sport causes and I described the basic characteristics of compensatory exercise. The aim of the work is to find out and describe what musclar dysbalances and functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system occur at volleyball players and in which age these dysbalances begin to manifest most. Another goal of the practical part was to originate a set of compensatory exercises based on the research results. A quantitative type of research is used to carry out the research part of the bachelor thesis. An information was obtained from each player, kinesiological analysis and examination of shortened and weakened muscles was performed. The research group consists of 48 girls playing for the volleyball club SK Hlincovka. According to age, players are divided into six age categories (preparation, younger pupils, older pupils, cadets, juniors and women). The results are processed into tables and according to them a compensatory exercise is designed. Through research, it was found out what musclar dysbalances and musculoskeletal disorders affect volleyball players, in which age the greatest progression of muscle imbalance occurs. The work can be used by physiotherapists and especially volleyball coaches as an aid to the correct not only stretching of players. The results show that volleyball has a negative effect on the upright posture of players. Weakening and shortening of certain muscles or muscle groups results in the creation of muscle imbalances. The players suffer from chronic pain, especially of the cervical and lumbar spine. The greatest progression of muscle imbalances was at the turn of the age category of older pupils and cadets. I attribute this increase in musclar dysbalance to the acceleration of body growth during puberty. According to the results of the examination, I suggested a compensatory exercise that should help the players with their problems.

Musculoskeletal disorders and kinesiotherapy options in pregnant women
Strejciusová, Aneta ; Aujezdská, Eva (advisor) ; Michalčinová, Klaudia (referee)
BACHELOR THESIS ABSTRACT Author: Aneta Strejciusová Supervisor: Mgr. Eva Aujezdská Title: Musculoskeletal disorders and kinesiotherapy options in pregnant women Abstract: This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of frequent musculoskeletal disorders in pregnant women and kinesiotherapy options. The aim of the work is to describe these disorders and difficulties associated with them and to apply kinesiotherapy to selected patients in a suitable way to prevent or at least affect them. The bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part first describes the changes taking place in all body systems during pregnancy. The next chapter deals with physical activities in this period. The main chapter of the theoretical part of the work describes in detail the most common disorders of the musculoskeletal system, which include decrease of the arch of the foot, low back pain, diastasis of the abdominal muscles, pelvic floor dysfunction and carpal tunnel syndrome. In the last chapter of the theoretical part mentions selected physiotherapeutic concepts and methods that can be used in kinesiotherapy in pregnant women. The practical part of the work consists of case reports of three patients containing kinesiological examination, the goal and plan of therapy and a description of past...

Work related musculoskeletal disorders in professional ballet dancers
Stibor, Eva ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
Thesis title: Work related musculoskeletal disorders in professional ballet dancers Objective: The high demands of the ballet dancers' profession are reflected especially within the individual dancer's musculoskeletal body system which is repeatedly exposed to a physical load that is specific for classical dance. The objective of this thesis is to find out what are the work related musculoskeletal disorders ("WRMD") in dancers who work in the Czech Republic, what risk factors prevail and which preventive strategies are applied to avoid the occurrence of WRMD. Methods: The stated objective was achieved by means of a questionnaire survey, during which randomly selected women/young adults with vocational training in ballet who are/were professional ballet dancers voluntarily filled in a questionnaire. In total, 56 ballet dancers within the region of the Czech Republic took part in this survey. The questionnaire consisted of open and closed questions and its conception was based on the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire ("NMQ"), with selected questions adapted to the specifics of the ballet profession. The first part of the questionnaire consisted of questions related to sociodemographic data, the next part aimed to gather data on the musculoskeletal disorders suffered and preventive strategies...
