Quantitative walk tests in children- Research
Frajtová, Aneta ; Jevič, Filip (advisor) ; Slabý, Kryštof (referee)
There is a constant increase of use of the walk tests in children population as part of objective testing. There is absence of complex summary of reference values for healthy children therefore we are not able to test our pediatric patients as fast, easy and objective as we would like to. Due to this fact we decided to create a summary of final results of three chosen walk tests. We have been dealing only with walk tests focused on quantitative aspect of walking in healthy children. We have chosen a walk test focusing on endurance (Six-Minute Walk Test), skilfulness (Timed Up and Go Test) and velocity of walk (10 Meter Walk Test). Methods: We were looking for studies containing only physiology values of healthy children in medical databases such as PubMed, EBSCOhost, UKAZ.cuni.cz, Web of Science and the Google Scholar database. Only studies containing full text and meeting our criteria were chosen. Outcome of this work is a complex summary of all available values of three walk tests, their general description and comparison of all found studies focused on this topic. We made comparison of several chosen parameters (number of tested children, their age, gender, methodology of testing, results and their details). Conclusion: A large number of studies published only average results of all included...

Neuro Biomechanical principles in robot-assisted gait training for pediatric patients
Žarković, Dragana ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Mařík, Ivo (referee) ; Lopot, František (referee)
Title: Neuro Biomechanical principles in robot-assisted gait training for pediatric patients Background: There is a lack of data on how robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) contributes to gait changes in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: This research study investigated efficacy of a 4-week RAGT intervention in twelve ambulatory spastic diparesis children with CP (10.8±2.6 years old; 2 girls and 10 boys; Gross Motor Function Classification System I-III) by using computerized gait analysis (CGA); passive joint range of motion (PROM); selective control assessment of lower limbs evaluation (SCALE), and the six-minute walk test (6MWT). Pre-post RAGT intervention data of children with CP was compared with the normative data curves of typically developing children by cross-correlation, and further statistically evaluated by a Wilcoxon test. Results: Significant pre-post RAGT intervention differences (p<0.05) that indicate more physiological gait comparing to the normative data curves were found. Biceps femoris, rectus femoris, and tibialis anterior decreased activity almost across all gait cycle phases. Medial gastrocnemius decreased activity mainly in terminal stance, mid-swing, and terminal swing phases. Internal hip rotations and foot progress angles decreased almost across all gait cycle...

Case study: Physiotherapy treatment of a patient with the diagnosis of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Novotný, Ondřej ; Melli, Klára (advisor) ; Máchová, Jitka (referee)
The aim of this work is a record of physiotherapeutic care of patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in acute exacerbation. First, there is described a characteristic of this disease including the exacerbation followed by a recherche of contemporary view of pulmonary rehabilitation and respiratory physiotherapy. There is a strong emphasis on the active cycle of breathing techniques in the therapy as a method of controlled and effective expectoration. The evaluation of the effect of the therapy is based on the difference of results in the mMRC and CAT questionnaires, functional examination 6-minute walk test and the BODE Index value gathered during the initial and the end examination.
