Gradually increasing maximum inspiratory resistance during respiratory muscle training and its effect on respiratory function in chronic tetraplegia
Šilhová, Vanda ; Laštůvková, Petra (advisor) ; Našincová, Zuzana (referee)
The theoretical part of the thesis describes basic mechanisms of spinal cord injuries, summarizes respiratory complications of spinal cord injuries and the use of respiratory physiotherapy with emphasis on breathing trainers. The practical part of the thesis focuses on the effect of 6 week long inspiratory muscle training using the Threshold IMT or Powerbreathe breathing trainer on respiratory functions in patients with chronic tetraplegia, as well as comparing the results of the study with available research exploring the same issue. The research included one experimental group consisting of 15 probands. All probands underwent measurement of spirometry parameters prior to the therapeutic intervention and again after six weeks of breathing training. A total of six respiratory parameters were evaluated (FVC, FEV1, PEF, PCF, MIP, MEP). From the results of the study, it can be concluded that breathing training showed positive effects on all of these parameters, but statistically significant difference was demonstrated only in the parameters evaluating the strength of the inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory (MEP) muscles.

Využití respirační fyzioterapie u pacientů po prodělání onemocnění Covid-19
BÍLKOVÁ, Klára
Covid-19 disease is caused by a new type of coronavirus, technically called SARS-CoV-2, which had not been identified in humans before December 2019. It is a droplet- and aerosolborne infectious disease mainly affecting the nasopharynx and lungs. Nowadays, numerous people suffer from the after-effects of having contracted Covid-19, the so-called post-covid syndrome. This is a set of different symptoms that can provide in essence the whole body. The most common complaints include shortness of breath and a persistent cough, deconditioning, headaches, back and chest pain to varying degrees, weakness and fatigue, as well as psychological problems such as anxiety and depression, concentration disorders and insomnia. From a physiotherapy perspective, these symptoms can be modified to varying degrees. For example, directly respiratory difficulties - influencing lung function, respiratory muscles, restoring the correct breathing stereotype. However, we can also influence posturalarticular functions and posture. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to describe the most common health problems of patients after Covid-19 infection and to suggest appropriate physiotherapy approaches for the identified difficulties. In particular, the thesis focuses on breathing difficulties and the possibility of influencing them with respiratory physiotherapy techniques. A qualitative research strategy was chosen, the research population consisted of five adult patients, and during the course of the research the number was reduced to four probands. The condition for inclusion in the research was a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, after which patients continued to experience some persistent health problems. Physiotherapy interventions were targeted to optimize respiratory function using selected respiratory physiotherapy techniques. The results were processed by comparing the input and output kinesiological analysis, measuring inspiratory and expiratory mouth pressures using the MicroRPM device and measuring the patient's lung function using spirometry. Improvements were achieved in walking ability, postural-respiratory diaphragmatic function, chest mobility, respiratory pressure values and subjective perception of health status. Some improvement in lung function was also noted by spirometry.

Influence of respiratory rehabilitation on lung function in patients after COVID-19 pneumonia.
Světová, Barbora ; Benediktová, Květa (advisor) ; Irving, Anna (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the comparison of the measured values of selected spirometric parameters (FVC, FEV1, PEF) and the results of quality of life questionnaires (Karnofsky score and Jones shortbreathness score) in two groups, one of which had a prescribed rehabilitation program and the other was a control group. The theoretical part summarizes knowledge about the disease COVID-19 and its immediate and long-term impact, especially on the respiratory system. It also deals with the use of specific methods of respiratory rehabilitation in patients who have experienced the disease of COVID-19. The main goal of the practical part is to verify the effect of respiratory rehabilitation - a prescribed rehabilitation program on lung functions in patients after pneumonia caused by the disease COVID-19. Methodology: A total of 20 patients (average age 60±11,04 years) after pneumonia caused by the disease COVID-19 were included in the research, of which 10 followed the prescribed rehabilitation program. On the day of the end of hospitalization and a second time with an interval of 2-3 months, the spirometric parametres of the probands of both groups were measured and the quality of life was determined using questionnaires. The S-Index and chest amplitude were also measured in the experimental group...

Use of respiratory physiotherapy in freestyle swimming technique
PECHOVÁ, Karolína
The aim of this thesis is to describe the effect of respiratory physiotherapy in freestyle swimming technique, what effect respiratory physiotherapy has on the strength of inspiratory and expiratory muscles and what subjective changes occur when introducing respiratory physiotherapy into training. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes general information about the anatomy and physiology of respiration, respiratory mechanics, including the implementation of the optimal breathing pattern. Furthermore, the crawl swimming style and the main muscle groups that are needed for this style are described here. In the practical part, case reports of 4 probands who have been training regularly in the swimming section for several years are detailed. Oral pressures were measured using a MicroRPM instrument, which evaluates the strength of the inspiratory and expiratory muscles. It also includes the design of therapy, which focuses on respiratory techniques, but also on the mobility of the chest, shoulders and overall posture, including the involvement of a deep spinal stabilization system. The resulting effect of the therapy is positive, when there was an increase in the initial values of maximum oral pressures, but mainly to greater chest mobility, better involvement of the DSSS and better respiratory stereotype. An important result of the therapy is the subjective perception of probands.

Možnosti respirační fyzioterapie u dětí v předškolním věku
ŠKROVOVÁ, Jiřina
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of frequent respiratory diseases in preschool children and the possibilities of using respiratory physiotherapy techniques. Respiratory diseases are among the most common diseases in children. They include both trivial diseases and life-threatening conditions. Inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system are among the most common diseases in the Czech Republic. Patients usually have an acute course, but there is often chronicity. Respiratory physiotherapy is an important part of physiotherapy in patients with respiratory problems. Prolonged and repeated breathing difficulties have a negative effect on the psychomotor development and movement of the child. It is advisable to start respiratory physiotherapy as soon as possible, i.e., from an early age, in order to prevent chronicity and complications associated with it. The goal of respiratory physiotherapy is to achieve the most effective pulmonary ventilation and reduce bronchial secretion in the lungs. Home physics and parental cooperation are also very important in the physiotherapy of preschool children.The theoretical part of the thesis describes the anatomy of the chest and the physiology of the respiratory system. The most common respiratory diseases, the possibilities of using respiratory physiotherapy and other techniques to influence respiratory stereotype and posture are also described. Finally, a possible examination is briefly described. A qualitative research method has been used to process the practical part of the bachelor thesis. The research group consisted of three preschool children who suffer from frequent respiratory diseases. Two probands were recommended by a paediatrician and one on the recommendation of Master Bínová. The research took place in the supervisor's office. The research part of the thesis describes the goals, research methodology, the nature of the research group and includes detailed case studies of individual probands. After obtaining information from the initial examination, an individual exercise unit has been set up, which the probands were practicing at home. Due to the young age of the probands, the therapies have been set up in an entertaining way and according to the child's ability to concentrate.
