Peterka, Tadeáš ; Nováková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Hošková, Blanka (referee)
Title: Effectiveness of exercise based on developmental kinesiology compared to stretching in functional disorders of young shool-aged children Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of exercise based on developmental kinesiology and stretching for young school-aged children with postural deviations. Methodology: This diploma thesis is of an empirical-theoretical nature, utilizing experimental research and processed quantitatively using case studies. The work was processed qualitatively using case studies. The study group comprised 14 young school-aged pupils with functional musculoskeletal disorders. The pupils were randomly divided into 2 experimental groups. The research intervention involved exercise interventions for each group, utilizing developmental kinesiology principles for one group and simple stretching for the other. Interventions were conducted twice a week under professional supervision and once a week at home under parental supervision, over a period of 5 months. Data collection methods included observation, examination of shortened muscles, selected tests according to Kolář, and balance tests based on the MABC-2 testing battery. Results: The results indicated that the first group, which performed exercises based on developmental kinesiology,...

Možnosti fyzioterapie u syndromu panické ataky
MAŠEJA, David
The bachelor's thesis deals with the possibilities of physiotherapy in the context of panic attack syndrome or panic anxiety disorder. In the introduction of the theoretical part I dealt with the issue of anxiety disorders, specifically panic anxiety disorder. I tried to give the reader an overview of the characteristics, clinical course and treatment of the disorder. I also discussed studies that dealt with the possible relationship between postural and psychological state of the individual. The following part of the theoretical section is devoted to the anatomy of the spine and thorax, where I also described the pathologies I encountered and focused on during my therapy with patients. The aim of this thesis is to map postural disorders in individuals suffering from panic anxiety disorder and to propose a therapy aimed at eliminating these disorders. The research population consisted of three participants aged 21-26 years who were diagnosed with panic anxiety disorder. They were two males and one female. Seven sessions were conducted with each participant over a two-week period. In the first therapy, I conducted an initial assessment that included a kinesiological analysis. The first therapy also included an interview with the patients about the course of panic anxiety disorder. I tried to map the postural disorders that I would like to focus on in the following therapies. Each therapy I tried to influence these disorders primarily through manipulative treatment, with each proband having individually designed exercises to influence the musculoskeletal system. During the therapies, I discussed the psychological state with the probands and asked about changes in the course of the anxiety disorder. In the final session, I conducted an exit examination and recommended probands to continue the assigned exercises. The assessment was done by comparing the initial and exit examinations and using a visual analogue scale that was presented to the participants at the first and last therapy sessions. This bachelor thesis can serve as an inspiration and source of information for further research that deals with the influence of physiotherapy on the course of anxiety disorders.

Electrotactile sensory substitution in patients with degenerative cerebellar ataxia
Svojítková, Tereza ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Paulasová - Schwabová, Jaroslava (referee)
Introduction: Biofeedback based on sensory substitution is a new method to treat patients with postural disorders. BrainPort provides tongue electrotactile stimulation. This innovative technique was developed for vestibular dysfunction of peripheral origin. Primarily for patients who had no benefits from conventional rehabilitation. Tongue electrotactile stimulation seems to be useful for central vestibula dysfunction as well. We are dealing with effect of BrainPort in therapy of degenerative cerebellar ataxia. We are interested in whether the effects persist for one month after the rehabilitation program. Methods: The methods are applied in 6 patients with degenerative cerebellar ataxia, verified by clinical testing, posturography, and genetic testing or verification of cerebellar lesions by MRI. Patients underwent an 12-day intensive rehabilitation program with BrainPort. Treatment was carried out 2 times a day. Patients were learning appropriate postural corrections to maintain signal in the middle of the tongue. To assess the effect of therapy we used posturography, standardized clinical tests - BESTest, Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) and standardized questionnaires - The Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) and Dizzines Inventroy Handicap (DHI). The examination was performed before...
