 Čefelínová, Veronika ; Plecháčová, Marie (advisor) ; Klesnilová, Eliška (referee)
BACHELOR THESIS ABSTRACT Author: Veronika Čefelínová Supervisor: Ing. Marie Plecháčová Title: Possibilities of affecting pain by using physical therapy in patients with plantar fasciitis Subtitle: Application of ultrasound and high intensity laser Abstrakt bakalářské práce: This bachelor thesis deals with the possibilities of affecting pain by using therapeutic ultrasound and high intensity laser in patients with plantar fasciitis. The thesis has a practical and a theoretical section. The theoretical section is devoted to pain, which I try to affect via physical therapy, the disease of plantar fasciitis, the principle of therapeutic ultrasound and high power laser and their positive and negative effects, indications, contraindications and their use in the treatment of plantar fasciitis are described. The practical section involved 8 patients with plantar fasciitis in the acute stage. Pressure algometry and functional tests were used for objective evaluation. For subjective evaluation, a short form of Brief Pain Inventory was used, which focuses on pain experienced in the last 24 hours. The results of each method are presented in the form of tables and graphs. The results show an improvement in all the monitored parameters in both groups. There was an increase in pain threshold and a decrease in pain...

Therapeutic use of ultrasound in patients with cerebrovascular diseases.
 Kuliha, Martin ; Školoudík, David (advisor) ; Beneš, Vladimír (referee) ; Tomek, Aleš (referee)
Background: Sonolysis is an important factor in therapeutic use of ultrasound in patients with cerebrovascular diseases, it is ultrasound induced lysis of thrombus or embolus. The aim of this work was to asses safety and efficacy of therapeutic ultrasound effect (sonolysis) in acute stroke patients and in patients undergoing carotid artery intervention. First partial aim of this work was to confirm the safety and efficacy of endovascular sonolysis by using the EkoSonic Endovascular System in subjects with acute ischemic stroke. Second partial aim of this work was to test the clinical efficacy of sonolysis for reducing the risk of incidence of new brain ischaemic lesions detected on brain magnetic resonance imaging in patients undergoing elective CEA or CAS for severe internal carotid stenosis. In addition, we assessed the effects of sonolysis on cognitive function, morbidity, and mortality at 30 days post-surgery. Methods: Patients with acute ischemic stroke and occlusion of the middle cerebral artery or basilar artery were enrolled consecutively to the prospective study tested safety and efficacy of endovascular sonolysis using the EkoSonic Endovascular System (EKOS) in patients with acute stroke. The control group (44 MCA and 12 BA occlusions) was selected from historical controls. EkoSonic...
