Miňová, Zuzana ; Hojková, Klára (advisor) ; Kövári, Martina (referee)
A large proportion of patients with central motoneuron lesions is at risk of spastic paresis and formation of contractures. One of the therapeutic techniques used in patients with spastic paresis is prolonged stretching. The theoretical part summarizes the knowledge regarding spastic paresis, its clinical evaluation, the development of contractures and therapeutic interventions, especially botulinum toxin (BTX) and stretching. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of prolonged stretching on spastic muscle contracture before and after BTX application. In our retrospective comparative study there were included 30 patients divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 15 patients performing prolonged stretching of the m. rectus femoris (m. RF) for three months according to Guided Self-rehabilitation Contract of Professor J. M. Gracies. The second group (15 patients) performing the same procedure, but at the same time BTX was injected into the m. RF. We monitored the change in passive knee joint range of motion into flexion and the change in 10MWT time. Statistical evaluation showed that the difference in knee joint range of motion after three months of performing prolonged stretching was statistically insignificant (p=0.194). The difference in knee joint range of motion after...
