Functional pathology of musculoskeletal system in students of physiotherapy
Matocha, Jan ; Řasová, Kamila (advisor) ; Ragulová, Michaela (referee)
Among physiotherapists there is high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, which disrupt their personal and work life. Substantial part of them reports, first disorders begun when they studied pregradual physiotherapy, which corresponds with modern research among physiotherapy students. The goal of this thesis is to measure prevalence of functional disorders in population of physiotherapy students. In this study were 23 participants with average age of 20, which consisted of 21 women and 2 men. All functional disorders were examined during practical courses in subject "Fyzioterapie I", according to methodology taught on 3. faculty of medicine on Charles University. Examined functional disorders consisted of: side differences of anatomical circumference of limbs, range of motion in joints, trigger points, shortened muscles, hypermobility and examination by sight. Muscle, which were shortened most often, was mm. erectores trunci and hamstring muscles. No significant difference was found in range of motion examination, same as in examination of length and circumference of limbs. Most prevalent pathology found in examination by sight was position of shoulders, pelvic, and examination with plumb line from side. Out of 56 muscles trigger points without motoric response were found in 39 % and trigger...

Verification of a set of exercises aimed at releasing the fascia using the foam roller
KVĚTOŇ, Daniel
This graduation thesis verifies a pre-prepared stack of exercises, which was compiled in the bachelor's thesis and its effect on proper posture. Exercises with an exercise aid took place using a foam roller and a ball. 8 probands underwent the experiment, the study program Physical Education and Sport. Two test and evaluation methods were used for verification. The first method is a test file from Gray Cook (Functional Movement Screen), the second method of verification is the evaluation of the character according to Jaroš and Lomíček. Probands underwent initial measurements and were followed by an 8-week exercise, the exercise took place twice a week. The exercise consisted of 30 exercises, which were divided into 3 exercise units. After 8 weeks of practice, the verification was identical to the initial tests (FMS, evaluation of the figure of Jaroš and Lomíček). The t-test and Cohen's d statistics were used for comparison. In both tests, improvement was noted in 7 probands. The work shows that exercising with foam rollers and balls has a positive effect on.

Administrative workers' neck triggerpoints and possibility of their kinesiotaping
KANDLÍKOVÁ, Kristýna
The thesis deals with the topic of occurrence of trigger points in the area of nape at administrative workers. The aim of the thesis was to give an idea of occurrence of reflective changes in muscles overstrained by the area of nape and show possibilities of particular therapy methods. Reflective changes in the area of nape arise mainly because of imbalance between static position while working with computer and compensatory motion activity. The thesis is devided into two parts, theoretical and practical. Theoretical part deals with the trigger points, their characteristics, origin, treatment, examination and their occurrence in particular muscles in the area of nape. Next section is focused on the method of kinesiotaping, its history, effects, possibilities and application techniques of kinesio tape. A very last topic of theoretical part is ergonomics when working with computer, risks of this activity, ergonomic demands, correct and alternative sitting position and compensatory exercise during work. Practical part was done by quality research. Research team was made by 4 probands. Research was done by case interpretation. Each case interpretation contains case history, entry analysis, description of particular therapies and final analysis. Kinesio tape was applied at two probands for one month. The other two probands went through individual therapies twice a week during one month. The research showed that both methods kinesiotaping as well as individual kinesiotherapy influence positively proband´s health. There was objective and subjective improvement at all four probands. This bachelor thesis can help physiotherapists as well as students of physiotherapy to orient better in an issue of trigger points in the area of nape and possibilities of their influence. It can also help to inform non-professionals how to prevent these problems with better ergonomic modification of working space and with compensation of sitting job by exercise.

The formation of algic zones on hands while riding a spinning bike
Firstová, Kateřina ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title: The formation of algic zones on hands while riding a spinning bike Objectives: The aim of the work is verification of changes of nociception in pre-defined points in the cyclists hands during one hour's spinning lesson. Methods: A total of 13 participants (9 female, 4 male), aged between 20-50 years old, took part in this study. First personal data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Subsequently, the pain threshold in the palms and palmar sides of the fingers of both hands was measured using algometer Algometer type II, from the company Somedic Sales AB. The acquired data was then statistically evaluated and compared by Pearson correlation quotient and analysis of variance ANOVA. A comparison of the pain treshold before and after the spinning lesson, related to gender, dominant and non-dominant hand and the age of participants, was eventually carried out. Results: After an hour of spinning had occured, in all measured points there was a reduction in pain threshold with an average of 12.83%. This change was the same in all of the measured points, which means that there was no overloading of one hand or any group of the points. The statistical evaluation has shown, that the change of the pain threshold is not dependent on the gender of the participants, and it is not statistically...

Use of acupuncture in rehabilitation of vertebrogenic algic syndrome
NOVÝ, Filip
The topic of my thesis is a description of the possibilities of using acupuncture in the treatment of VAS. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. In my work, I focus on the current state of knowledge about acupuncture: the history of acupuncture, Eastern philosophy, its principles, acupuncture meridians and points. In terms of modern rehabilitation, I focus in the theoretical section on the issue of trigger points (TrPs), which have a highly significant position in modern studies on acupuncture. The second part of the theoretical work is concentrated on the phenomenon of pain, which is an important element in understanding VAS and the operating principles of acupuncture. In the third part I attempt to describe and compare modern techniques and alternative acupunctures used in the treatment of VAS. To address the efficiency and reliability of the techniques I analyzed data from reputable international studies. The practical part begins with a list of the methods employed and a definition of research objectives and research questions. The aim of the research was to consider the possibilities of the use of acupuncture in the treatment of VAS and, by means of a questionnaire, to assess its analgesic effect.
