Postural therapy based on dynamic neuromuscular stabilization of children in infancy
JANOUŠKOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of postural therapy with dynamic neuromuscular stabilization in infants. The proper development of the child plays an important role in his or her further development. Importantly, early control and fixing of the development may prevent various pathological states. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and the practical part. In the theoretical part, I described the psychomotor development of the child from the prenatal period to the infant age. Further, I describe pathological locomotor developmental stages. An important part of the thesis is also the diagnosis and evaluation of the motor development based on the examination of postural spontaneous activity, position responses, primitive reflexes and assessment of the muscle tone. In the next chapter of the theoretical part, the axial organ was described. At the end of the theoretical part, I discussed the possibilities of postural therapy in infants. In the practical part, I examined infants with slight deviations in psychomotor development. Subsequently, I applied a therapy, namely dynamic neuromuscular stabilization, in order to achieve the greatest possible improvement. I decided to use the DNS concept due to the fact that it allows targeting of the postural and locomotive functions. The practical part of my work was done on the basis of case studies, which contain the initial examination, the process of the therapy and the final assessment. The kinesiology summarizes anamnesis, postural activity, position responses, primitive reflexes and muscle tone. In the conclusion, the results were described and the success of the therapy was evaluated. I noticed significant improvement in each of the patients. Therefore, this work might help to expand the application of the DNS concept to such young patients as well.

Potentialities of using choral singing as a metodology of respiration physiotherapy
BICKOVÁ, Marie
Bachelor thesis carrying the title Potentialities of using choral singing as a method of respiratory physiotherapy deals with the different functioning of the respiratory apparatuses at singers and non-singers. As the main aims of my work, I have determined at first to compare the function of the respiratory apparatus at the choral singers with the control group consisting of non-vocalists and secondly to observe, whether the respiratory system has a significant effect on the posture of probands. The theoretical part summarizes basic knowledge about anatomy and physiology of respiratory apparatus, respiratory mechanics, the linkage of the respiratory apparatus with the supporting movement system, then some basic knowledge about postures, respiratory physiotherapy, pulmonary rehabilitation through wind instruments and choral singing. The practical part is constructed as a qualitative research. There are eighteen case studies, nine of which contain data about choral singers and the other nine describe the control group. Each case report contains anamnestic data and a comprehensive kinesiological analysis, focusing mainly on the respiratory apparatus and also including the examination of the simulated postural activity.
