Effect of biofeedback on stability, coordination and activation of the patients after spine stabilisation with the use of Hunova Movendo posturographic device
Získalová, Karolína ; Sládková, Petra (advisor) ; Malá, Michaela (referee)
6 ABSTRACT Title: Effect of biofeedback on stability, coordination and activation of patients after spi- nal stabilization using Hunova Movendo posturographic device Aims: The aim of this thesis was to introduce the Hunova Movendo posturographic de- vice and to validate its benefits in increasing stability by comparing outcome measures. The secondary aim was to evaluate the therapy from the probands' perspective. Methods. First, all selected probands underwent an initial interview and an initial postural stability examination using the Hunova Movendo device, which measured changes in body position values. The training intervention with visual feedback was conducted for a total of six weeks, specifically every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. In the third week of training, a follow-up examination was conducted to assess the improvement or deteri- oration of the results, and also to motivate all probands. At the end of the six-week inter- vention, an exit examination was conducted and probands were given a five-question subjective questionnaire to complete. The effectiveness of the treatment was compared through the entry and exit examination data from the first and last week of the interven- tion. Results: At the end of the six-week program using proprioceptive training with visual feedback on the Hunova...

Vestibular Function in Cochlear Implant Patients
Matějková, Michaela ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Koutná, Sára (referee)
Hearing loss is the most common sensory impairment. More than 5 % of the world's population suffers from disabling hearing loss, which affects approximately one third of people over the age of 65. In those cases where hearing aids are not a sufficient solution to these difficulties, cochlear implantation is the standard treatment. It replaces, at least in part, the function of the hair cells that are no longer able to stimulate the primary auditory neurons. However, there are concerns about the potential risk of impaired vestibular function and the development or worsening of non-vestibular problems such as tinnitus, vertigo and orofacial disorders. Aims: To provide a theoretical summary of fundamental information on the vestibular system and cochlear implantation and to assess vestibular and non-vestibular function after cochlear implantation and the impact of any abnormalities on patients' quality of life. Methods: All of the participants underwent subjective visual vertical examination, platform posturography and completed five questionnaires - Dizziness Handicap Inventory, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, Facial Disability Index, Beck's Anxiety Inventory and Beck's Depression Inventory. Overall and partial results from platform posturography examinations were compared with a control group of...

Evaluation of postural stability and strategy in obese people
Ančincová, Kateřina ; Matoulek, Martin (advisor) ; Vilikus, Zdeněk (referee)
Thesis title: Evaluation of postural stability and postural strategy in obese people Objectives: The main objective was to evaluate postural stability using computer posturography in obese people and assess whether three-month exercise training with a focus on sensorimotor stimulation has an effect on postural stability. Methods: This is a cross-sectional experimental study. The research group consisted of 20 probands aged 30 to 62 years with BMI values of 31.1-53.5 kg / m2, from which the general posturography was evaluated. The effect of sensorimotor training was subsequently assessed of 13 probands, who were divided into two groups - interventional (n = 6) and control (n = 7). The measurement was performed using static computer posturography and computer goniometry processed by the freeStep software system. To compare the effect of sensorimotor training, measurements were performed twice in the intervention and control groups, over a period of approximately three months. Postural stability was evaluated based on the Sway test. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 24 software. Statistical significance was determined at the level of α = 0.05, the result where p <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: General posturography in the research group showed a...
