BACHELOR THESIS ABSTRACT Author: Pavlína Pokorná Supervisor: doc. MUDr. Petr Fulín, Ph.D. Consultant: Mgr. Lucie Benešová Title: The importance of high-intensity laser therapy in the treatment of the shoulder impingement syndrome Abstract: This bachelor thesis examines the importance of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) in the treatment of the shoulder impingement syndrome. The objective of this study is to verify the effectiveness of the HILT on clinical results and on alleviating difficulties of the patients with shoulder impingement syndrome. The thesis is theoretical-practical. The theoretical part deals with the anatomy and kinesiology of the shoulder girdle, diagnostics and treatment methods. The final component of the theoretical part is the laser therapy. Based on the inclusion criteria, a set of 7 patients was selected for the practical part. The HILT was performed on a total of 10 of their shoulder joints. The total amount of therapies was 6, administered 2 times per week for 3 weeks. The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated with the clinical examination, which consisted of shoulder range of motion (ROM) measurement, clinical tests, Constant shoulder score, The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score (QuickDASH) and pain evaluation. These examinations were held at the baseline,...

BACHELOR THESIS ABSTRACT Author's firstname and surname: Anna Pekárovicsová Bachelor thesis supervizor: Ing. Karolína Šenderová Oponent: Title of bachelor thesis: Physiotherapeutic approaches to patiens with impingement syndrome Abstract: Bachelor thesis deals with impingement syndrome of the shoulder joint. It is one of the most common lesions of the shoulder girdle. Most of the described type of impingement is subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS), on which the work is focused. SIS is a painful disorder of the arm, particularly when the movement of the upper limb is in the area above the head leaves less subacromial space and consequently there is suppression of structures in this space. In the theoretical part is described the anatomy and kinesiology of the shoulder girdle. Further is characterized SIS, its etiology of origin and possible approaches to treatment. The practical part contains a case report of a patient with SIS, along with various methods of physiotherapy that have been used in the context of therapy. The main aim of the practical part is to evaluate whether physiotherapy resulted in an increase range of motion, reduction in pain in the shoulder joint and thus led to subjective and objective benefit to the patient. For an objective assessment of pain intensity the method of visual...
