Use of nordic walking after hip joint replacement
KASLOVÁ, Pavlína
This bachelor thesis deals with the use of Nordic walking after hip joint replacement. The theoretical part is divided into two parts. The first part describes the issue of Nordic walking and the proper technique of Nordic walking. Furthermore, this section describes the advantages and disadvantages of Nordic walking and the most common mistakes when walking with sticks. The second part briefly describes the anatomy of the hip joint, coxarthrosis as one of the most common indications for hip joint replacement and there are also mentioned types of hip replacements and subsequent rehabilitation after surgery. The practical part is processed in the form of qualitative research using case reports. The research group consisted of 3 probands who were no more than 1 year after hip replacement. At the first meeting I prepared an initial kinesiological analysis of all probands, according to which I treated them therapeutically and with each I learned the Nordic walking method. Probands walked with sticks regularly 2 - 3 times a week and at the same time performed the exercises I assigned them. After 3 months, I prepared an output kinesiological analysis for each proband and I obtained a subjective evaluation of the Nordic walking method from each of them. This bachelor thesis had a total of 3 goals. The first goal was to describe the issue of Nordic walking and the correct technique of walking with sticks. To describe the advantages and disadvantages of Nordic walking was another goal of the work. Both these objectives are part of the theoretical part. The last aim was to describe the possibilities of applying the Nordic walking method after hip replacement. I found out the results of this goal through the research part, where in all probands there was either a reduction in the pain of the operated hip joint or an increase in the range of motion and muscle strength in the area of the hip joint. However, there was also a positive effect on other parts of the body. For example, reduced neck spine pain. The bachelor thesis can be used as an educational material for physiotherapists who want to include the Nordic walking method in the medical rehabilitation of patients after hip replacement, or it can serve as a source of information for patients.
