The effect of kinesiotaping for flat foot correction in association with selected parameters of gait for a specific group of people
Michalcová, Eliška ; Zahálka, František (advisor) ; Heller, Jan (referee)
Title: The effect of kinesiotaping for flat foot correction in association with selected parameters of gait for a specific group of people Objectives: The primary objective of this experiment was to determine whether and to what extent the application of kinesio tape to flat foot (utilising a functional correction technique) can influence the positioning of the specific segments of the body and thereby implement change to walking stereotype. Methods: Biomechanical measurement of the gait of eleven specifically selected people with the clinical symptoms of flat foot was implemented. First we recorded measurements prior to the intervention and then again, subsequent to the application of kinesio tape for a defined period. Probands retained the tape in place for the following four days and then the measuring was repeated both prior and subsequent to the removal of the tape. To determine any potential changes to the statics, initially the measuring of the postural stability prior to the intervention was first implemented in the experiment and subsequently again when the kinesio tape was removed after it had been worn for four days. This measurement was carried out using the Footscan apparatus (RSscan International, Belgium) and any potential differences in six variant modes of posture were determined....

Effect of kinesiotaping on shoulder girdle muscle activity
Dvořáková, Petra ; Valouchová, Petra (advisor) ; Bitnar, Petr (referee)
Kinesiotaping is a new method used for an extremely wide range of clinical conditions. Kinesiotaping is established in sport for treatment and prevention of injury and offers therapists a new treatment possibility of muskuloskeletal injuries and disorders. There are used elastic permeable and water-resistant adhesive tapes of different colours. Elasticity of the tape maintains the patient's full mobility. This is the decisive advantage compared with the previous treatment taping methods. The mechanism of kinesiotaping is based on two main effects. The kinesiotape stimulate the skin receptors and increase interstitial space between the skin and the underlying connective tissues. Therefore it improves the circulation of both venous and lymphatic fluid and decrease pressure on mechanical nociceptors. It is surprising that even though the kinesiotaping is being very often used, there is lack of evidence demonstrating its effectiveness. The aim of the thesis is therefore to summarize all general information about the kinesiotaping and compare them with published results. The special chapter is devoted to the kinesiotaping of the shoulder girdle, which is supplemented by a practical section about the muscle activity effect of the kinesiotaping of the shoulder girdle measured by surface electromyography.

The effect of kinesiotape application on rheological properties of the knee joint with chondromalacia patellae
Mertová, Petra ; Lopot, František (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Author: Bc. Petra Mertová Title: The effect of kinesiotape application on rheological properties of the knee joint with chondromalacia patellae Problem definition: Chondromalacia patellae is a very frequent diagnosis related to knee injuries. Diagnosing chondromalacia is very difficult. Knee arthroscopy is the best method for evaluating the cartilage condition, however this technique is invasive. Kinesiotaping is a therapeutic method extensively used to affect knee pain. Patellar taping is an effective method in improving symptoms resulting from patellofemoral joint problems, nevertheless the evaluation of its effect has not yet been objectively investigated. Aim of the thesis: The aim of this study is firstly to discover the possibility to noninvasively detect chondromalacia patellae using the method of biorheometry and secondly to discover the impact of kinesiotaping on rheological properties of the knee joint with chondromalacia patellae. Method: The designed experiment was performed as a pilot case study using the method of biorheometry. The history of the patient was monitored using a questionnaire and by a clinical examination of the knee joint. Two questionnaires were created to evaluate the functional state of the knee joint. Measurements were done on a special device called biorheometer....

Jurková, Magdalena ; Vomáčková, Helena (advisor) ; Malá, Jitka (referee)
Title: The effect of scapular specific kinesio tape on the movement quality of the upper limb. Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of specific kinesio tape of shoulder blade on the quality of the movement of the upper limb. Currently, kinesio taping is very popular method in the treatment of myoskeletal diseases. Kinesio taping is mostly used by athletes, however the method becomes one of the common methods in physiotherapist practice. In this diploma thesis, specific method of kinesio taping was used. The method is focused on the facilitation of the lower blade fixators and is frequently used. Positive effect of the method on the position of the shoulder joint is obvious. The movement quality of the upper limb is represented by visual motor skills coordination, which was objectified with selected testing method. The prerequisite is a close relation between the position of the shoulder girdle with the function of the hand. Centred position of the shoulder blade ensured with the fixation of the lower blade fixators allows precise movement of the entire upper limb. The diploma thesis was focused on the population of people working on a computer. This way of working is now the most common cause of pain for patients who visit a physiotherapist. Measurement was attended by...

Objectification of selected rehabilitation techniques used to influence the muscle tone
Pavelková, Zuzana ; Šifta, Petr (advisor) ; Nováková, Pavlína (referee)
Master's thesis topic: Objectification of selected rehabilitation techniques used to influence the muscle tone Author: Bc. Zuzana Pavelková Branch of study: TVS_B Disertation Tutor: PhDr. Petr Šifta, Ph.D. Year of Defense: 2012 Abstract: The aim of this study was to discover, whether four selected rehabillitation techniques (dry-needling application, cryotherapy, stretching and kinesiotaping) influence the muscle tone of musculus gastrocnemius and musculus soleus. It was assumed, that above mentioned methods decrease the muscle tone of selected muscles, that was increased by previous running performance or owing to acute or chronic problems with Achilles tendon. The muscle tone was measured by myotonometer in Kinesiology laboratory, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at Charles University in Prague; muscle tone of twelve students of thisfaculty was measured. Data were displayed by using an analog- digital convertor and consequently evaluated. The results of this study indicate, that four selected rehabillitation methods influence the muscle tone of musculus gastrocnemius and musculus soleus. The muscle tone was best influenced by application of dry-needling and by kinesiotaping; results of muscle tone measurement after dry-needling application and kinesiotaping confirmed above stated...

Vítková, Markéta ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Helena (referee)
Title: Analysis of the immediate effect of kinesiotaping on the upper limbs when landing into a press-up position when doing gymnastic aerobics Objectives: The aim of this diploma thesis is to find out if the use of the tape on the upper limbs changes the acceleration associated with the reaction inertial force of the arm, the angle in the elbow joint and wrist when landing into the press-up position, as well as subjective evaluation of probands. The hypothesis for the practical part is that the angles in the joints mentioned and the magnitude of the force with the applied tap change, which would result in better stabilization of the upper limbs in this element, as well as positive evaluation of the probands. Methods: The theoretical part deals with kinesiological-biomechanical description of upper limbs and the characteristics of gymnastic aerobics. Moreover, biomechanical analysis and kinesiotaping are described. The practical part is devoted to the measurement of landings into the press-up position first without tape and then with tape. The tape is described in detail. The XSens MVN was used to record motion. Results: The results showed that kinesiotape had no effect on the angle of the elbow and wrist joints or shoulder joints when landing into the press-up position. However, a positive...

Administrative workers' neck triggerpoints and possibility of their kinesiotaping
KANDLÍKOVÁ, Kristýna
The thesis deals with the topic of occurrence of trigger points in the area of nape at administrative workers. The aim of the thesis was to give an idea of occurrence of reflective changes in muscles overstrained by the area of nape and show possibilities of particular therapy methods. Reflective changes in the area of nape arise mainly because of imbalance between static position while working with computer and compensatory motion activity. The thesis is devided into two parts, theoretical and practical. Theoretical part deals with the trigger points, their characteristics, origin, treatment, examination and their occurrence in particular muscles in the area of nape. Next section is focused on the method of kinesiotaping, its history, effects, possibilities and application techniques of kinesio tape. A very last topic of theoretical part is ergonomics when working with computer, risks of this activity, ergonomic demands, correct and alternative sitting position and compensatory exercise during work. Practical part was done by quality research. Research team was made by 4 probands. Research was done by case interpretation. Each case interpretation contains case history, entry analysis, description of particular therapies and final analysis. Kinesio tape was applied at two probands for one month. The other two probands went through individual therapies twice a week during one month. The research showed that both methods kinesiotaping as well as individual kinesiotherapy influence positively proband´s health. There was objective and subjective improvement at all four probands. This bachelor thesis can help physiotherapists as well as students of physiotherapy to orient better in an issue of trigger points in the area of nape and possibilities of their influence. It can also help to inform non-professionals how to prevent these problems with better ergonomic modification of working space and with compensation of sitting job by exercise.
