Physiotherapeutic Techniques for Patients with Achilles Tendon Rupture with Possibility of Using Balance Aids
JIRÁSKOVÁ, Helena
This bachelor thesis deals with physiotherapeutic techniques in Achilles tendon rupture patients with possibility of using balance aids. My personal interest in these problems lead me to select this topic. There is increasing offer of leisure activity connected with increasing injuries of locomotive organs. Rupture of Achilles tendon is one of them and concerns both top sportsmen and those doing sports in leisure time. The preceding degenerative alteration is a frequent cause of the rupture. My thesis consists of a theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is a knowledge summary from different disciplines related to this topic. The rupture of Achilles tendon is described in a proper chapter from various aspects etiopathogenesis, mechanism of origin, symptoms, diagnostics and treatment. In the part called therapeutic rehabilitation I described physiotherapeutic methods and concepts I used in therapy. There are two case interpretations of Achilles tendon rupture in the practical part. Investigation was performed using a qualitative form of the initial and final examinations. Based on the initial examination of patients both short-term and longterm rehabilitation plans were prepared with selected physiotherapeutic methods. The goal of my thesis was to evaluate the influence of injury on the locomotive organ and gait patttern. Based on results (comparison of initial a final examinations) the long-term rehabilitation plan was suggested with a participation of balance aids. Physiotherapy shows to be a very contributive by means of the used methods as the tested parameters improved. Soresness in heel and scarf decreased, movement in talar joint to dorsal and plantar flexions improved as well as the muscle strength of m. triceps surae. The values of anthropometry changed. The therapy had a smaller effect on the gait pattern. This thesis can serve to education of students and physiotherapy assistants, but also to patients and public.
JEŽEK A ČÍŽEK - HOMELESS PEOPLE THEATRE - AND ME
Jirásková, Helena ; Čunderle, Michal (advisor) ; Slavíková, Eva (referee)
This diploma thesis is about the first Czech homeless people theatre. It?s called Ježek a čížek (means The hedgehog and the siskin). The first part of the work concerns on facts and a evolution of this theatre. The second part attends to subjective view of one member from the executive team - me. The theatre was founded in 2000 and it?s still working. The theatre prepared 13 productions, playd around 140 performances and nearly 300 actors ? clients passed through them. There were organized 4 international festivals of homeless people theatre and the group also played several times abroad. The theatre started to work as a volunteer activity and it has become a professional NGO, which offers also social and working assistance. It was astonishing performance called Which is the color of nothing? (Jakou barvu má nic?) which encouraged me to join that project. I was in common with theatre and also with the work with socially poor people. Working there from 2003 till 2005 I had a chance to meet closely the members of the group. The goal of the theatre was preparing of a performance. It was directed sensitively and it required from actors ? clients to be open and playfull. Their life experiences are full of absurdity and cruelness. Actors ? clients have my apprecation because ? although they have no safe place to live ? they are able to change their stereotype ?homeless? role and raise on the level of creativity for their own pleasure.
