Bibliographical record DVOŘÁK, J. Physiological movements of the spine during locomotion. Prague: Charles University, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Department of Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine 2021. 75 p. Thesis supervisor PhDr. Marcela Šafářová, Ph.D. Abstract The diploma thesis Physiological movements of the spine during locomotion deals with the relationship between locomotion, spatiotemporal properties of gait and spinal movements. The theoretical part of the work summarizes the knowledge about the phylogenetic and ontogenetic development of the spine. The paper discusses the influences that affect the motility of the spine from intrauterine development to old age. The main part of the theoretical part is devoted to an overview of studies examining the movements of the spine during human locomotion. The experimental part was performed by testing a group of younger (24.6 ± 3.6 years) and older adults (43.5 ± 4.6 years). Both groups consisted of 8 women and 8 men. A total of 32 volunteers were tested. Otto's spine distance, thoracic spine rotation, 95% COP standing, and spatiotemporal gait data were measured using a Zebris Rehawalk FDM-T. Thereafter, therapy was applied to the chest to affect the dynamics of movement. Finally, control measurements of all olunteers were performed. Statistical data...
