Comprehensive system of rehabilitation in younger individuals after stroke
BEČVÁŘOVÁ, Lucie
Title of the bachelor thesis is Comprehensive rehabilitation in younger individuals after stroke. The aim of this thesis was to determine the subjective perception of individuals´ needs after stroke. The theoretic part is divided into two main chapters. The first one contains brief information about the disease, its types, anatomy and physiology background and symptoms. The second chapter deals with the issue of comprehensive rehabilitation and its parts. Particular approaches are defined and described in detail, health professionals working in this area are also mentioned here. The research part was processed by a method of qualitative research strategy. Semi-structured interview technique and observation were used. The research set included 5 respondents - four men and one woman. Past history of stroke and age of individuals between 45 and 55 years were the inclusion criteria for this research. Interview was held according to scenario questions, where I focused on two areas. First section included information about the respondent, his disease and treatment in the way of comprehensive rehabilitation. In the second part, respondents were asked how their life had changed after the experience of stroke. The interview was audio-recorded and then verbatim transcribed. One of the respondents did not wish to be audio-recorded, thus written notes were taken during the interview. Interviewing results are presented in a narrative format. By conducting this research I tried to answer the following question: What are the needs of individuals at various stages of stroke recovery? Need of self-sufficiency was mentioned by all respondents. In early stage, it was mainly coping with basic activities such as food intake, control of excretion, verbal expression and movement. In the later phase of treatment, there are increasing demands on self-care, understanding ability, memory and social interaction. Individuals often went through an intensive therapy. After returning back to their home environment, the need of self-realization, activation and meaningful ways to spend a free time are the most significant issues. This work should provide more information on the given topic.

The use of a shock wave in the physiotherapy
NOVÁK, Jan
Except a few scientific studies there is not yet enough available literature, written in Czech language, which would summarize theoretical information on the effects of shock wave therapy. In my thesis I tried to clarify physical conditions associated with emergence and specific spread of shock waves in various media and other physical principles which explain behavior and effects of shock waves passing through different types of tissues. From the results of expert studies and articles I made a survey of the most common possibilities of use of shock waves in medicine - especially in physiotherapy. In the practical part I evaluate the effects and course of shockwave therapy in three randomly selected patients diagnosed with epicondylitis radialis humeri (tennis elbow). Patients were treated by a series of applications of radial shock waves, when one session amounted to 1500 - 2000 shocks of varying frequency of 4-21 Hz and the pneumatic pressure of 2 - 3.2 bar. The results show that the patient may respond differently to shockwave therapy. Due to the fact that in a relatively small research sample quite disparate results have been recorded - the first patient significantly improved, the second improved slightly and the third got worse on the contrary - we can better understand the diversity of opinions of the professional public on the meaningfulness of the shock waves use in orthopedic diagnoses. For the practical part the method of qualitative research was chosen. Interview techniques, observations, case reports, data analysis and research were used. The research was conducted in the rehabilitation centre OLMA R + in České Budějovice and Rehabilitation Department of Polyclinic South MEDIPONT Ltd. in the time period from January to April 2012.

The pain of Achilles tendon in endurance runners aged 15 to 30 years
MAŠKOVÁ, Markéta
This bachelor thesis focuses on long-distance runners suffering from pain of Achilles tendon. It presents basic findings about reasons of the inconvenience, prevention and treatment. The first objective of the thesis was to describe potential causes of pain of Achilles tendon suffered by long-distance runners; the second objective was to propose prevention measures and the third objective was oriented at compilation of a suitable therapeutic procedure. The research questions asked whether the proposed therapeutic plan would be effective and whether it will operate also as a prevention of an injury. The theoretical part contains basic information about the leg anatomy, brief description of long-distance running and its techniques and an overview of potential causes of injury or pain of Achilles tendon. It also contains a lists of methods that prevent the injury and examination methods, including instructions about pathology identification, and it is concluded with a list of treatment methods. The practical part used a method of qualitative research, including interview and observation (input and output kinesiological analyses), special examination methods, processing of case reports and data analysis. The research group consisted of 2 male and one female track and field athletes specializing in long-distance running from the Sokol Opava sports club. Each of them underwent a therapy that lasted approximately two months and the results have been provided in case reports. Each case report includes the case history, initial kinesiological analysis, short-term and long-term rehabilitation plan and the course of the therapy. Each case report is concluded with a kinesiological analysis and evaluation of treatment effects. Results of the research have been affected by the approach of the individuals and severity of their problems. The pain has completely disappeared in one person and it has persisted in the other two. The two latter cases were affected by the following factors: in the first case the quiet mode was not complied with and the rehabilitation was conducted at full load; in the second case the significant factor was the severity of the problem as the person had suffered Achilles tendon rupture in the past. The bachelor thesis has been written to present the acquired information and experience in order to inform the general public interested in this issue and, particularly, coaches, runners and physiotherapists.
