The influence of rhytmical movemet on patients with Parkinson's disease
MYSLIVCOVÁ, Anna
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of a progressive neurological disease called Morbus Parkinson, which is translated to Czech as Parkinson's disease. This disease irreversibly damages the central nervous system and cannot be cured yet. It is only possible to alleviate the symptoms by pharmacological treatment and improve the quality of life of the patients with the help of rehabilitation. The aim of the work is to describe the main issues of the disease, to clarify the possibilities of physiotherapy and to design a rhythmic exercise unit on the basis of which educational videos for home exercise of patients with Parkinson's disease were created. The first part summarizes general knowledge about Parkinson's disease, history, development and rehabilitation. Most of the work deals with the research itself, which was attended by 3 clients with Parkinson's disease. The individual case reports consist of an initial entrance examination, which also includes, for example, tests evaluating stability and gait. This is followed by two months, during which the exercises took place once a week and then the current state was compared with the results of the initial examination. The studies found and the subjective evaluation of probands show that it is appropriate to include rhythmic exercises in the rehabilitation. Due to the state of emergency lasting continuously from 5th October 2020, it was not possible to conduct group exercises, so the exercises were conducted with two patients online, which allowed patients to exercise safely at home and were not at risk of infection. One patient underwent exercises normally after loosening of the regulations issued by the government. The work can serve as a source of information for the lay and professional public and methods of solution can be used in physiotherapeutic practice.
