Evaluation of postural stability among deaf adults
Palasová, Ivana ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Pánek, David (referee)
vi Abstract Title: Evaluation of postural stability among deaf adults Objectives: The purpose of this diploma thesis was to compare the postural stability between the deaf and the normal hearing adults, and to find out if the statistically significant difference in measured parameters does exist. Methods: 102 subjects at the age of 20-45 years participated in this study. The experimental group consisted of 35 deaf adult subjects with congenital or early childhood deafness. The control group has been made by 67 normal hearing adult subjects. The postural stability was objectively evaluated by Footscan, the pressure measuring plate. Nine tests were passed, duration of each test was 30 seconds. The total travelled way (TTW) expressing the total path the centre of acting pressure travelled during the test and the Romberg ratio, which is the ratio of TTW values under the condition of closed and open eyes, were selected as indicators of postural stability. T-test was used to assess the statistical significance of the differences between the group of deaf adults and normal hearing group. To estimate the influence of individual characteristics of the subjects (evaluating the data from the questionnaires) to their postural stability, the ordinary least squares estimator was used. Results: The experimental group was...

Impact of stimulation of power abilities on balance
Škoda, Jan ; Jebavý, Radim (advisor) ; Feher, Jan (referee)
3 ABSTRACT Title of thesis: Impact of stimulation of power abilities on balance Aim of thesis: Verification of effectiveness of power workouts for stable and unstable supporting surfaces and the impact thereof on balance. Methods: An experimental method was used, with two groups of probands completing a three-month power training programme. The programme included power workouts with balance equipment for the first group and similar power workouts on a stable mat for the second group. The whole power training programme was elaborated in the degree thesis by Štohanzl (2010). All probands underwent an entrance, check-up and final testing with our monitoring of the impact of power training on balance development. Results: Our results did not confirm direct connection with more effective development while using unstable surfaces. Key words: balance abilities, stability, stabilometry, balance equipment, power abilities

Šimková, Lenka ; Baláš, Jiří (advisor) ; Malý, Tomáš (referee)
Title: The assesment of selected strength and stability parameters of an ankle plantar and dorsal flexion in slackliners. Objectives: To assess the relation between level of stability the dorsiflexion and the plantar flexion strength in slackliners. Methods: The research sample was composed of two groups - slackliners (9 person) and balanced control group (9 person) selected from physically active population. Probands were tested on the Flamingo test on the pressure plate, the test of the dorsiflexion and plantar flexion strenght on an isokinetic dynamometer. Slackliners underwent extra range of motions elements on the slackline. The level of stability was assessed by using the centre of pressure and the physical design of individual elements on the slackline. Power was assessed by using the peak torque at 30 ř and 120 ř. Results: Slackliners achieve bigger relative strength in the plantar angular velocity of rotation of 30 ř in both limbs than the control group (left: 1.51 ± 0.31 vs. 1.20 ± 0.30 Nm.kg-1 , p <0.05 , η2 = 0.21, right: 1.55 ± 0.34 vs. 1.21 ± 0.34 Nm.kg-1 , p <0.05, η2 = 0.22). The results of other parameters (postural stability, isokinetic power at the ankle angular velocity of 120 ř.s-1 and the time course of force) between the two groups did not differ significantly. Conclusion:...

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.
