Title: Method Y - Balance Test as a possible identifier of the return after the knee injury Objectives: The aim of the diploma thesis is to find out what kind of dynamic postural stability sports persons show after a certain time after a knee joint injury. Furthermore, to compare sports persons after a knee joint injury who are already in full sports load with those who are not yet in full sports load. To find out whether the amount of muscle mass on the lower limbs has an effect on the level of dynamic postural stability. To compare the dynamic postural stability in individuals after the ligament injury with individuals after the meniscal injury. And thus find out whether the Y - Balance Test can be used as a possible identifier of the return to sports after a knee joint injury. Methods: A total of 30 sports persons took part in the research, who were for various lengths of time after knee joint injury or surgery. All these probands were tested with the dynamic postural stability test Y - Balance Test for the lower limbs and were measured with a Tanita bioimpedance scale. All measurements took place in the physiotherapy gym at the FTVS Department of Physiotherapy between March 2022 and March 2023.

Vomáčková, Helena ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Kovanda, Jan (referee)
I ABSTRACT Autor: Mgr. Helena Vomáčková Title: The Possibilities of Evaluation of the Sport Performance on the Postural Functions - CDP Normative Data for Sport Population Objective: The main aim of the dissertation is to determine the standardized values (normative data) of individual parameters of test protocols obtainable with usage of dynamic computer posturography of the NeuroCom SMART EquiTest System (hereinafter SMEQ). The partial second goal is to compare the determined normative data with the existing values used for routine evaluation of postural stability given by the SMEQ software. Another partial goal is to determine the reliability of individual test parameters in an additional pilot survey. Methods: Data for the determination of standardized values were obtained by laboratory measurements using the SMEQ system and subsequently were converted, unified and adjusted for further processing by statistical "software R". To determine the normative data, an input data-set obtained from a deliberately selected group of active athletes (n = 245) in the selected age range of 20 - 30 years with an average age of 24,04 (± 1,23 years), with an average body height of 173, 29 (± 10,04 cm), mean body weight 68,46 (± 13,10 kg) and mean BMI 22,67 (± 3,04) was used. To calculate the predicted normative data for...
