Influence of temporomandibular dysfunction on head position
Veselá, Nikola ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kučerová, Klára (referee)
Dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint appears to varying extents, depending on the chosen criteria, in at least half of the world's population. Altered afferentation from the orofacial area (for example due to dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint) can, according to research, have an effect on the position of the head, cervical spine and postural stability. However, the issue of the influence of temporomandibular dysfunction on head position or postural stability is still not sufficiently explored and conflicting opinions appear in the literature. The aim of this thesis is to reveal the correlation between dysfunction in the temporomandibular region and changes in postural stability, head position and subjective visual vertical. In the theoretical part, the current knowledge of the influence of the temporomandibular region on the surrounding structures and body posture will be presented using research. The aim of the practical part will be to investigate to what extent and in what time modulated afferentation from the orofacial area will affect the posture, head position and possibly also the subjective perception of the vertical. Measurements will take place on a stabilometric platform, using the Bucket method and further using QR codes and a computer program. The results will be...

Possibilities of evaluating the effect of rehabilitation aimed at improving postural stability in adults.
Heřmanská, Dagmar ; Stříbrný, Martin (advisor) ; Kolář, Jáchym (referee)
The paper deals with the comparison of different options for assessing the effect of physiotherapy aimed mainly at improving postural stability in adult patients. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis defines postural stability, its optimal function in physiological situations and the most common pathologies. The clinical consequences of postural stability disorders and their treatment options are discussed. The most frequent consequence of insufficient postural stability is chronic low back pain (in the English literature "LBP"). The knowledge about the possibilities of clinical evaluation of the effect of physiotherapy is discussed. It is a subjective assessment by the patient, using PROM questionnaires (Patient- reported Outcome Measures) and DNS manual. Furthermore, the possibilities of objective assessment-dynamometry (DNS Brace device), Moiré and Pedoscan are described. The paper describes the principle of these devices and evaluates their advantages and disadvantages in clinical practice. The practical part contains case reports of two patients with chronic LBP. The patients are evaluated with the above mentioned procedures before and after a series of six hourly therapies with weekly frequency. The therapy was performed at the Pavel Kolar Center for Movement Medicine under the...

Occurence and characteristics of functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system in physical therapy students during the studies
Perglerová, Anna ; Řasová, Kamila (advisor) ; Marková, Magdaléna (referee)
Introduction: Physical therapy is an essential part of medicine worldwide, helping with a wide range of issues across the population. The idea of this study was based on the assumption that physical therapy students themselves benefit from the acquired knowledge to maintain and improve their own health, which is particularly important given the physical demands of the physical therapy field. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine through a longitudinal, observational study, whether functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system occur in physical therapy students studying at the 3rd Faculty of Medicine of Charles University, and if so, how they develop over time during their studies. Methods: The research study involved 16 students (2 males and 14 females, with an average age of 20.28 years.) The measurements took place twice, once at the beginning of the first year of study immediately following enrollment at the university, and once at the end of the second year of study. Data collection was carried out at the Laboratory of Sports at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at Charles University under the supervision of department staff. The evaluated parameters included the level of physical activity assessed through a shortened form of the International Physical Activity...

Švátora, Karel ; Čepička, Ladislav (advisor) ; Musálek, Martin (referee) ; Válková, Hana (referee)
Dissertation Karel Svatora ABSTRACT Title: The Relationship between verbal intervention and postural stability Objective: To evaluate whether there is a relationship between verbal intervention and manifestations of postural stability. Methods: In the submitted work, 3 research investigations were carried out. The first investigation involved 185 probands (84 men) and was focused on verifying the effect of psychological priming. The Posturograph STP-03 was used to assess postural stability. Probands were randomly divided into three groups and each received different information about the difficulty of the upcoming task. An electrodermal activity data was recorded during the investigation. The second investigation involved 88 probands (45 men) and was aimed at verifying the effect of persuasive communication. The test of postural stability was to remain in a standing position measured on a 3 cm wide beam. Probands were randomly divided into two groups. The groups received the opposite verbal intervention during the test. 142 probands (83 men) took part in the third investigation. It was aimed at verifying the effect of persuasive communication during more significant stimulation of the current psychological state. The test of postural stability was to remain in a standing position measured on a 3 cm wide...

The acute effect of percusive therapy on postural stability and muscle activation in people with chronic ankle instability and controls
Michal, Lukáš ; Hank, Mikuláš (advisor) ; Šorfová, Monika (referee)
F2 = 0.15; with a significance level of α = 0.05 and a test power of β = - - (p=0.014) CAI NO PRE (CNP) and HEALTHY YES POST (HYPO) and between the CAI NO POST (CNPO) vs. HYPO (p=0.05). The only statistical difference (p=0.045) within CAI group was found in CNP vs. CAI YES POST (CYPO). Since there was no significant difference in the pre-tests between any of the groups (CNP and CYP), we may confirm the hypothesis of the effect of PT in postural stability (OE) test. In contrast, in the CE test, this change was observed between groups CNPO and CYPO (p=0.05). Since there was no pre-test difference between the CAI groups in CE parameter, we may also confirm the effect of PT in CE test, even though the intragroup outcomes between pre and post-test weren't sensitive enough to find significant (p<0.05) improvement. Unilateral postural stability surveyed in relation to PT showed increased bilateral asymmetry between DOM and NON in Flamingo test (expressed as %). Especially HYPO group revealed risen asymmetry after PT when compared to CNPO (p=0.007), CNP (p=0.015) and CYPO (p=0.05). Key finding was measured significant difference in intragroup parameter between HYP vs. HYPO (p=0.014), which confirmed increased bilateral asymmetry in unilateral postural stability HEALTHY subjects before and after use of PT, but not...

Author: Bc. Kateřina Janovská Title: Evaluation of dynamic postural stability of orienteers suffering chronic ankle instability Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess dynamic postural stability in orienteers aged 15-25 years suffering from chronic ankle instability, who compete at the national level of orienteering competitions, and to compare the obtained data with a control group, which consisted of orienteers of the same age with no history of ankle joint injury. Methods: 29 orienteering runners of age 15-25 years participated in the measurement. 28 probands were included in the study, of which 8 probands formed the control group and 20 probands formed the research group. The measurement took place in a physiotherapy outpatient clinic during 2022. All probands completed a short anamnestic questionnaire and were examined with tests for ankle joint instability and hypermobility tests according to the Beighton Score. Both groups of probands underwent a single measurement of dynamic postural stability on the Y-balance test. Microsoft Excel 365 and GraphPad Prism (version 9.3.1) were used to evaluate the obtained data. The results were processed using parametric unpaiered T-test model, non-parametric unpaired T-test (Mann Whitney test) and Chi squared test. A p value < 0,05 was used to...

Švejdová, Jana ; Stupková, Michaela (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Helena (referee)
Title: Immediate effect of foam rolling of selected muscle groups on postural stability Aims: The aim of this diploma thesis is to demonstrate the effect of single intervention of foam rolling of selected muscle groups on postural stability in young healthy sports population measured by the Neurocom SMART Equitest device. Methods: The project is an experimental pilot study with a total of 34 probands who were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. At the beginning, they all went through the postural stability measurement using the NeuroCom Smart EquiTest System. Three test protocols were selected for the measurement: Motor Control Test (MCT), Limits of Stability (LOS) and Adaptation test (ADT). The experimental group underwent foam rolling of calves, ischiocrural muscles, iliotibial tract, quadriceps, gluteus medius and minimus and erectors of the thoracic spine after the first measurement. Each muscle group was rolled for 1 minute. Immediately after the intervention, postural stability was measured again using the same protocols. The control group took the second measurement 10 minutes after the first measurement. The measured data was processed using Neurocom Balance Manager Software. The measurement results were averaged within each group and processed using MS Excel and then the...

Analysis and possibilities of therapy of postural functions in long jumpers
NIKODEMOVÁ, Nela
This bachelor thesis deals with the analysis and possibilities of therapy of postural functions in long jumpers. The aim of this thesis is to describe the issues of movement stereotypes and postural system occurring among long jumpers. Another aim is to design and implement compensatory exercises with the aim of therapy of these disorders. In the theoretical part, the concept of postural stability and related concepts are explained. Then, the postural system and the anatomy of the lower limb are briefly described. Last but not least, the long jump, its history, technique and training of this discipline are described. Furthermore, the most common disorders of the postural system and the physiotherapeutic procedures used in the therapy are mentioned. In the practical part, the methods used to collect data are described. Furthermore, the practical part consists of case studies of three probands aged 14 and 15 years who are actively involved in long jump. Each proband underwent an initial kinesiological examination, according to which a short-term rehabilitation plan was designed. The research was conducted over a 10week period in which each proband completed 10 therapy sessions. At the end of the research, probands underwent an exit kinesiology examination. I compared the results from both examinations with each other. The data collected was then used to create a manual summarizing recommended compensatory exercises for long jumpers. The examinations revealed certain areas where probands consistently had similar pathologies. These areas included the shoulder girdle, pelvis, thoracic and lumbar spine, anterior and posterior thigh muscles, knees and ankle joints. Insufficiency of the deep stabilization system also proved to be a very common pathology. The probands also showed some differences between the rebounding and non-rebounding lower limb. This work can serve both physiotherapists in their work with these athletes or coaches and athletes themselves as educational material.

LUŇÁČKOVÁ, Johana
This thesis deals with posture and stability in young golfers and how these aspects can be influenced. The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to create a kinesiotherapy unit that incorporates elements from postural therapy to influence posture and stability in young golfers as well as the elements influencing postural function, which was another aim of the thesis. Another aim was to evaluate the effects of the therapy and compare the results based on the entry and exit kinesiological examination. In the theoretical part, the postural system, postural function, movement control and the information about golf are described as well as the physiotherapy methods that were used in this thesis. The practical part describes the research methods and case studies of four probands from the Golf Club Týn nad Vltavou. The work includes comparative photographs taken before and after the therapy and examples of exercises used in the kinesiotherapy unit. Initial results of the study show the poor posture, lack of stability and weakened postural functions are present in these young golfers. When comparing the entry and exit examination data, all probands showed improvement in all studied aspects after completing the 8-week exercise program therefore these results could be influenced by the suggested therapy. In the future, this work could be used by coaches as an inspiration for creating the training plan.
