The role of motor imagery in motor learning and the quality of movement performance
Hahn, Sarah ; Řasová, Kamila (advisor) ; Hlinovská, Jana (referee)
Introduction: The influence of imagination and emotions on our body has been talked about for several decades. The results of studies in the field of neuroscience confirm these assumptions. However, it is necessary to demonstrate their real clinical effectiveness in rehabilitation or physiotherapy. Objective: The aim of the study is to find out what role the idea of movement plays in learning new motor patterns. The effort is to find out to what extent and in which parameters the change occurred after a 14-day exercise cycle in individual cases. Methods: Medical students who were divided into three groups voluntarily participated in the randomized study. The 1st diagonal of the upper limb (1.D UL) from the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) method was selected for the study. Volunteers in all groups exercised daily for 14 days. The first group (group image) practiced only in their imagination. The second group (group moto) exercised physically with an audio recording for the same amount of time. The third group (group mix) practiced the first week using their imagination and the second week by physical exercise. During the three days of the cycle, before and after the start of the 14-day exercise program, the volunteers completed input and output measurements. These measurements...

Halamová, Adéla ; Zvelebilová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Melicharová, Hana (referee)
Title: Effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on the upper limb function of people with C4-C5 spinal cord injury The main objective: The aim of the work was to find out what effect the use of the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation method will have on the function, muscle volume and ranges of movements of the upper limb in people who are affected by a spinal cord lesion in the C4 and C5 region. Furthermore, the work dealt with the subjective feeling of the patients, whether the upper extremity improved after the therapy and if it was possible to involve it more in ADL activities. Methods: 5 probands took part in the study - all men with an average age of 41 years. A total of 3 measurements were performed for the study participants - approx. 2 months before the start of the intervention, before the start of the therapy and after the end. Values such as the volume of the arm muscles in contraction, the range of motion of abduction in the shoulder joint and flexion in the elbow joint were recorded. Another measured subject was the forearm endurance test. Participants also filled out the SCIM form before and after graduation. Probands practiced the method of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation of the 1st diagonal in addition to their regular therapy. They were also instructed...

Jelínková, Pavla ; Bakalář, Bohumil (advisor) ; Jevič, Filip (referee) ; Smetana, Jiří (referee)
Name and surname of the author: Bc. Pavla Jelínková Institution: Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University Title: Effect of illusory movements physiotherapy on vital and metabolic functions of patients with large burns Supervisor: MUDr. Bohumil Bakalář Year of defense: 2022 Keywords: large burns; illusory movements; proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation; vital functions; catabolism; intensive care unit-acquired weakness The aim of this thesis was to determine how the usage of functional proprioceptive stimulation (so-called illusory movements) influenced vital and metabolic functions of patients with extensive burns. In the first part of the thesis we focus on defining the issues we encounter in patients with extensive trauma. Extensive damage not only affects metabolic and vital functions, but the extent of the skin injury changes prognosis of the injured person and the length of hospitalization. The longer patients are hospitalized in intensive care units, the more we encounter acquired muscle weakness. One of the ways to prevent this phenomenon is effective rehabilitation, which is quite challenging in burn patients. As an alternative, the usage of proprioceptive stimulation is offered. It creates illusions instead of real movements in the cerebral cortex. However, there has been no...

Methods: This is a pilot study involving 10 patients diagnosed with cervicogenic headache in the age range of 23-41 years. Patients participated in proprioceptive neuromuscular head and neck therapy, which took place 3 times per week for 5 weeks. Patients on the first and last therapy completed the Neck Disability Index, the measurements were done twice a week. It was a measurement of performance index of deep neck flexors by means of a craniocervical flexion test and evaluation of pain on visual analogue scales. The statistical method - paired t-test was used to analyze the obtained data. Results: The results of this thesis show that proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation therapy is effective in elimination or reduction of headaches in patients diagnosed with cervicogenic headache.

Foffová, Lenka ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Reckziegelová, Petra (referee)
Title: Assessment of EMG Activity of Selected Muscles during Compensatory Exercises for Volleyball Players Aim of the thesis: The aim of the thesis is to compare muscle activity of two different types of resistance - the manual resistance of the practitioner and the Thera-Band resistance - during diagonal one flexion and extension patterns PNF for upper extremity. And then consider whether there is a possibility to use the method of PNF in a combination with Thera- Band during volleyball players' compensatory exercise. Methodology: The thesis has a character of a case study. Using surface electromyography on five probands, we recorded the electrical activity of musculus biceps brachii, musculus deltoideus pars posterior, musculus trapezius pars caudalis, and their antagonists. The electrical activity was recorded during diagonal one flexion and extension patterns PNF for upper extremity, using two types of resistance (the manual resistance of the practitioner and the Thera-Band resistance). Results: During diagonal one extension pattern, the activity of musculus trapezius pars caudalis and musculus deltoideus pars posterior is comparable with the manual resistance of the practitioner and the Thera-Band resistance. Results indicated that m. deltoideus pars posterior and m. trapezius pars caudalis...
