Assessing the influence of constitutional hypermobility on postural stability
Zadražilová, Tereza ; Smékal, David (advisor) ; Čakrt, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis "Judging the influence of constitutional hypermobility on postural stability" focuses on the problem of constitutional hypermobility (CH) and the influence of joint instability on stability mechanisms. The aim of the research was to find out whether there is a difference in stability mechanisms with tested subjects with CH and without it. Furthermore, the research focuses on the influence of mobility techniques on postural stability by the means of chosen tests carried out on Balance Master® System platform. The tested sample includes 14 women aged from 20 to 28, 7 women with constitutional hypermobility and 7 women as a control group. 6 tests were chosen for the measurement on Balance Master® platform. 2 static tests: modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB), Unilateral Stance (US), and 4 dynamic tests: Limits of Stability (LOS), Rhytmic weight shift (RWS), Step Up Over (SUO) a Forward Lunge (FL). We compared the medians of output values of individual tests. It was assumed that subjects with KH would have significantly worse test results than the control group. Furthermore, it was supposed that the mobilization processes cause stability disturbance on the basis of cancellation of compensational , thus protective block in comparison with KS.

Bartošová, Simona ; Hráský, Pavel (advisor) ; Gryc, Tomáš (referee)
Author: Bc. Simona Bartošová Title: Effect of sensomotoric insoles on postural stability in children with cerebral palsy Objectives: Objectively assess the effect of sensomotoric insoles on children with cerebral palsy (CP) via COP (Centre of Pressure) parameters recorded on Kistler force plate. Methods: This thesis is designed as an experimental study. Selected paramaters of static postural balance were recorded via force plate to assess the effect of sensomotoric insoles. Five subjects (average age 7.2 years) with diagnosis of cerebral palsy were enrolled into the study. Data collection was carried out in two separated sessions - first before therapy and second after using the insoles for one month. The validity of the data was supported by three repetitions for each modification - upright plain stand with open eyes, upright stand with feet together and upright plain stand with closed eyes. Monitored parameters were: total trajectory of COP, amplitude of mediolateral displacement of COP, amplitude of anteroposterior displacement of COP and mean velocity of movement of COP. The data were analyzed in MATLAB® version R2019b. The statistical analysis was performed including the outliers elimination. The normality of data was checked by Lilliefors' test. In the case of normality a two-sample Student's...

The influence of sensorimotor intervention on body perception and quality of movement in string musicians.
Kutinová, Eliška ; Mišinová, Klára (advisor) ; Voráčová, Helena (referee)
Playing a musical instrument is a very beautiful, but very physically demanding craft. Many musicians suffer from musculoskeletal pain caused, among other things, by a rigid, unchanging posture and a focus on performance at the expense of comfort. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the influence of music production on the musculoskeletal system of the musician and the possibilities of therapy aimed at improving sensorimotor skills and kinesthesia. The practical part followed the influence of therapy inspired by the Feldenkrais method and Alexander's technique on the movement of the musician during and outside the performance. The research was conducted on 19 professional string musicians. Testing of probands consisted of measurements with inertial sensors, objective measurements of sensorimotor skills and kinesthesia and a questionnaire survey. The parameter measured by the inertial sensors was a jerk (indicates the smoothness of the movement). The results of the measurements show that, even after a single therapy, the smoothness of the chest movement improved statistically significantly.

Short-term cryotherapy effects to ankle proprioception
Huotari, Tiina ; Tufano, James (advisor) ; Jandová, Tereza (referee)
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of short-time cold pack cryotherapy in thermoreceptors, therefore, proprioception via deep sensation receptors and sense of balance on ankle joint in healthy adults. In the subject, I refer to other studies using the word proprioception when measuring the cold effect in the balance of the ankle joint. Mainly, cold therapy is affecting to the thermoreceptors but there might be input also to change neuromuscular transmission. The aim of the experimental process is to identify if the cold application on the ankle joint for 20 minutes is decreasing dynamic postural stability and the sense of balance in laboratory environment. Short term cryotherapy effect is measured within 12 participants divided into two groups: control and study group. Both groups went through the first measurement, 20 minutes rest with or without cold application and second measurement directly after the rest period. The dynamic posturography machine SMART Balance Master System (NeuroCom) was used to evaluate somatosensory outcome in the experiment. In the systematic review the previous studies are investigated within same settings as on experimental process, short time cold application on ankle joint measuring the effect on ankle proprioception and joint position sense.

Affection of chosen aspects by using kinesiotape in swimmers shoulder
Laudová, Petra ; Doubková, Lucie (advisor) ; Demeková, Júlia (referee)
This research is focused on "swimmer's shoulder" and on affection of chosen aspects by kinesiotape. Theoretical part describes a summary of knowledge about origin, diagnostic and treatment of swimmer's shoulder. Kinesiotaping as a nowadays treatment method and its effects are also specified. The thesis provides a brief description of chosen aspects (pain, tactile acuity and proprioception) and their measuring by objectification methods. Practical part deals with measuring, evaluation and comparing of mentioned aspects before and after treatment by kinesiotape. Methods: 20 competitive swimmers (average age 18,3 years, SD ± 3,10) with shoulder pain were chosen for investigating and measuring. Pain was observed by visual analog scale (VAS) and pressure algometry, tactile acuity by esthesiomether and proprioception by a special method, all before and after treatment. A control group without kinesiotape was included to the research. Results: The experiment showed that tactile acuity was altered in patients with kinesiotape by 27,5 mm in average. This result was evaluated as statistically significant (p = 0,0023). Although values of pain measured by VAS and pressure algometry were enhanced, they were not very significant on the importace level 0,05 (p = 0,1540, resp. 0,1575). Proprioception was also...

Proprioception disorder as a physiotheraphy complication
MAŠÁT, Pavel
This thesis deals with the disorder of proprioception in diabetics with an amputated lower extremity and factors influencing subsequent physiotherapy. The main goal of this thesis was to bring this problem closer and design a therapeutic procedure in order to improve the patient´s postural and locomotion functions. The incidence of diabetes mellitus illness is rising violently and lower extremity amputations mean its worst complication. In the theoretical part I have first defined the term of proprioception and characterized the important proprioreceptors. I have approached the basic mechanisms of the transfer of the inner and outer stimuli into the CNS. An important part of the theory is also presented by the section devoted to proprioception disorders and their examination. Further on I have focused on the description of diabetes mellitus and the complications that are connected to it. Most problems linked to diabetes influence the proprioception negatively. In the last section of the theoretical part I focus on amputations where I also mention their consequences on the ability to receive proprioceptive information. All these parts gather information about the causes of proprioception disorders which subsequently complicate physiotherapy significantly. The practical part was processed through a qualitative research. The research includes the probands´ elaborated case studies containing individual anamneses, examinations and conducted therapeutic units. An important part is made up by the input and output kineziologic analyses. In the practical part I have tried to apply the obtained theoretical knowledge into excercise units. I have carried out the research for my practical part in the Technical Orthopedics Center in České Budějovice. I have chosen 4 probands of both sexes between the ages of 60 to 65 to carry out my research. All participants had femural amputation. Two probands were suffering from diabetes with a proven diabetic neuropathy. Other two were diagnosed with diabetes without diabetic neuropathy, therefore their proprioception was violated only through the extremity loss. All participants were equipped with the first prosthetics with similar structural components. Therapy took place individually, for a time period of five weeks. Excercise units took place twice a week for 60 minutes. They included excercises according to the individual needs of the probands. The main goal of the therapy was a practice of stable stand and coordinated walk. I carried out the research evaluation on the basis of the input and output examination. I compared the individual results of probands suffering from diabetic neuropathy and those not suffering from this illness. Through the carried-out research I wanted to point to the fact that even diabetics with a femural amputation in the lower extremity may reach a high quality of lifestyle through a well-designed rehabilitation care. That is why this thesis may serve not only as educational material for sanitary staff but also for the amputated themselves.

Professional influence on somatognostic functions
Pelánová, Petra ; Kobesová, Alena (advisor) ; Lepšíková, Magdaléna (referee)
Objectives: This diploma thesis briefly summarizes the current knowledge about the neurophysiological and functional somatosensory influence of sedentary and non-sedentary occupations on the individual. The experimental part compares the quality of somatognostic functions in cohorts with sedentary occupations (SO) versus non-sedentary occupations (NSO). The NSO group positions and movements often alternate and static positions are not held for long periods. Methods: Both groups had the same number of probands. Ore-emptive questionnaires provided anamnestic data for each individual. Afterwards, somatosensory functions were assessed using six selected tests; 2 tests for upper extremity proprioception (UEP), 2 tests for lower extremity proprioception (LEP) and 2 tests for body size perception. Results: There was a significant difference in the results of the four tests measuring quality of proprioception of the upper and lower extremities. The NSO group showed more accurate results. In the UEP test measured in sitting posture, there was an average deviation 4,4ř in the SO group, and 3,1ř in the NSO group (p = 0,021). In the UEP test measured in standing posture, there was an average deviation 4.0 cm in the SO group, and 3,0 cm in the NSO group (p = 0.025). In the LEP test measured in standing posture,...
