This thesis deals with the effect of High Intensity Laser on soft tissues and postsurgical scars in the ankle joint area. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part presents a summary about ankle joint traumatology and its surgical management. Further there is also information about wound healing, scar formation, their examination, assessment scales and treatments. Last but not least there is a description about the laser mechanism, effect and treatment use. The main focus point of the practical part is to discover the effect of the High Intensity Laser used on soft tissues and postsurgical scars in the ankle joint area. A sub-objective is to evaluate the high power laser effect on pain reduction in the treated area. Methods: There were 20 probands tested in the practical part (average age 42,3, SD ± 13). The intervation group (n = 10) has applied High Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) on postsurgical scars. The control group (n = 10) haven't HILT. The Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) was used for scar evaluation and pressure algometer was used for pain evaluation. Results: There was statistically proven that High Intensity Laser Therapy has an effect on pain reduction on level of significance α = 0,05, (p = 0,0047). According to the POSAS, results...
