Usage of Taekwon-Do ITF on patients with VAS issues
FRIČ, Lukáš
The topic of this bachelor thesis is the application of selected Taekwon-Do ITF (or TKD) techniques, and their detailed correction, on patients with vertebral algic syndrome. Unlike other martial arts, Taekwon-Do was carefully described, every single technique was described in detail while maximally respecting the biomechanical laws and borders of the human body. Tai-chi, a well-known martial art, has already been surveyed, even despite it's techniques not being described in detail or even without any connection of its movements to the kinesioterapeutic methods. The aim of this thesis was to find out in which way does regular Taekwon-Do practicing influence back pain and what influence does regular Taekwon-Do practicing have on selected movement stereotypes. Back pain is now nearly considered a civilization desease, which can unbelievably limit a person in thier professional and what is more in their private life. The bachelor thesis was divided into three parts. The theoretical part presents terms such as VAS, describes Taekwon-Do, and describes what movement stereotypes are. The chapter dedicated to Taekwon-Do, contains information about history, about the founding of Taekwon-Do, the main Taekwon-Do principles and about the basic techniques and movements. The second part, also theoretical, deals with specific parallels between Takewon-Do and kinesioterapeutic methods as well as with the differences between simple "teaching Taekwon-Do" and applying detailed projections on selected movement stereotypes. The third part is practical. It is based on both the quantitative and the qualitative research. The beginning of this part focuses mainly on the qualitative research a description of what posturografical testing is, the system of postural control, different subtests of the posturograpic testing. It desribes all 4 case reports, which contain kinesiological examination, pain scale and the initial posturographical tests, the course of therapy and then the final kinesiological examination and posturographical tests. It also includes the results of the questionnaire survey and insights from the discussion with the subjects The third part presents the results of my combined research. The data obtained from the qualitative part of my research were collected by posturographic tests and kinesiolgical examination, the quantitativa data in by questionnaire survey. The questionnaires were sent via a website to teachers and also students of Teakwon-Do of every Czech taekwondo school. The qualitative research lasted 6 months and included 4 subjects, who suffered from back pain in different parts of their back. The exercise unit, or therapy, took place three times a week in the form of an official lessons of Taekwon-Do ITF, in traditional lessons, and at home in the form of exercises depending on the recommendation of TKD teacher. Such a unit consisted at the very least of: warm-up, stretching part, kick training and basic techniques training. The results of the qualitative part demonstrated that those who practised TKD regularly improved in stability tests and slightly, not fundamentally, in movement stereotype as well. Moreover, they felt better and the intensity or frequency of pain decreased or vanished. Those, who did not practise TKD did not reach such results and even deteriorated in some tests. The results of the quantitative part say, regular TKD practice leads to better health conditions or helps to maintain it. This thesis might be useful for health workers and sportsmen, but also for trainers, teachers and students of TKD, or for general public as a study materiál.
