The effect of a regular exercise on the health of patients with Parkinson´s disease
DUBNOVÁ, Veronika
The bachelor thesis deals with the influence of regular exercise on the health of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease. This disease still remains an incurable disease that affects the human central nervous system and leads to its irreversible damage. Until now, the treatment of the disease has only made it possible to alleviate individual symptoms in the long term and thus maintain the patient's quality of life. An important part from the early stages of the disease is not only a pharmacological treatment but also a rehabilitation. The theoretical part of this work deals with a summary of information about Parkinson's disease, its origin, clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment options. The practical part of the work was processed by the method of qualitative research, which was done on the basis of an input and output examination, medical history taking, an interview and an evaluation of patients' ability to walk. The obtained data were compiled in the form of case reports. The study group consisted of 3 patients with a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, who regularly attended group exercises once a week. The first goal was to evaluate the patient's condition during regular group exercise and the condition after 8 weeks without a group exercise. The second goal was to create an exercise unit for patients suffering from Parkinson's disease. Due to the small number of probands studied, it is certainly not possible to state whether the regular exercise once a week was sufficient in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. However, it was obvious that the patients felt good during the exercise, it positively affected their psychosocial condition and also their condition. Although I did not come to clear conclusions, I presume that the chosen therapy was beneficial.

Standardized examinations of spasticity in physiotherapy
Špačková, Anežka ; Tichá, Monika (advisor) ; Jeníček, Jakub (referee)
Title: Standardized examinations of spasticity in physiotherapy Abstract: This bachelor's thesis is aimed at giving an overview of the most commonly used standardized examinations of spasticity in physiotherapy and their comparison. It deals mainly with the best known methods of examinations that are used in practice. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part, muscle tone and its regulation and spasticity as one of the upper motor neurone syndrome symptoms are specified. Moreover, the methods of examination (Ashworth scale and its modifications, Tardieu scale and five-step clinical assessment of spastic paresis according to Gracies) are presented and described in detail there. The practical part contains two case reports of patients after a cerebrovascular accident. Examinations and evaluations of spasticity, including Modified Frenchay scale or walk tests, which are described in the theoretical part, are applied to patients. The main contribution of this thesis is to create a comprehensive comparison of standardized examinations of spasticity through studies and my personal experience. Key words: spasticity, upper motor neurone syndrome, examinations and evaluations of spasticity, rating scales, Modified Frenchay scale, walk tests, five-step clinical...

Possibilities of evaluation and development of aerobic fitness of obese individuals
Benešová, Kateřina ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Strejcová, Barbora (referee)
Title: Possibilities of evaluation and development of aerobic fitness of obese individuals Aim of diploma thesis: The aim of the research was to verify the 2km walking test to asses aerobic fitness of individuals who are overweight or obese. Furthemore, whether physical activity lasting two month has a significant effect on the reduction of weight and % body fat of overweight and obese individuals. Methods:. The 2 km walking test was performed at the beginning and end of the intervention. Meanwhile, a group of 6 overweight ( BMI > 25 kg.m-2 ) or obese, grade I, II (BMI < 40 kg.m-2 ) adult men and women (aged 21-56) performed the prescribed physical aktivity based on walking on the "treadmill" and "ride" on the stationary bike in the Reconditioning Center (at VŠTJ Medicina Praha). Description of physical activity: the duration of at least 40 min., 3 times a week for 2 months, moderate intensity (60 % VO2max) measured by a Sport tester. To calculate the index of aerobic fitness of the walk test, we used the predictive equation of Eurofit for adults, weight and body composition was measured using bioimpedance bipedal Tanita scales, we used a survey to assess the level of lifelong physical activity and for an overall health assesment we used PAR-Q questionnaire. Results of the study: 2 km walking test...
