An importance of the muscular imbalance in the context of functional disorders of the spine
JOZOVÁ, Kateřina
ABSTRACT A topic of my thesis is an importance of the muscular imbalance in the context of functional disorders of the spine. The topic has been very up-to-date, because a large proportion of the population suffers from vertebral disorders of functional nature, which are just caused by muscular imbalances. A goal of the first part of the thesis was a theoretic analysis of the problem of muscular imbalances and functional disorders of the spine. A content of that chapter is an introduction to anatomy, kinesiology of an axial skeleton and pathogenesis of the muscular imbalances and functional disorders of the spine. Then it contains information about diagnostic and therapeutic procedures at those disorders. The goal of the research part was to map effects of a long-term exposure of muscular imbalance to the skeletal structures of the spine using standard examination methods of physiotherapy and also to evaluate an efficiency of influencing the imbalances and functional disorders of the spine with standard and alternative therapeutic approaches. For the research part of the thesis I chose a method of the qualitative research. The sample has consisted of three patients who attended a rehabilitation clinic at Hospital in České Budějovice. All three were treated for an incurred muscular imbalance and functional disorders of the spine. The tested sample was monitored for several months and results were processed in a form of case study. The patients learned principles how to deal with those disorders effectively and to implement preventive measures against their emergence. There came about the alleviation or minimisation of the muscular imbalance and about a retreat of a large part of functional blocks of the spine using different ways of treatments at all the patients. Also functions of a deep stabilization system of the spine were improved as well as statics and dynamics of the spine. Consequences caused by a long-term exposure of muscular imbalance were mapped and an effectiveness of the selected therapy was evaluated. This thesis could be used for the purposes of the study of future physiotherapists and also as an information material for patients suffering from muscular imbalances and functional disorders of the spine and in the prevention of those disorders.
