The effect of Pilates on stability and walking parameters in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Gabrielová, Anna ; Novotná, Klára (advisor) ; Kövári, Martina (referee)
The thesis investigates problems of walking and balance disorders in patients with multiple sclerosis and the effect of group Pilates lessons. The theoretical part provides an overview of the current knowledge about the disease - etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostics, types and symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) and the possibilities of therapy. The Pilates method, its history and principles of exercise are described. The aim of the practical part was to evaluate the effect of the Pilates program on walking and balance in MS patients. The group included 32 patients, 21 in the experimental group and 11 in the control group. The experimental group participated on the 10 - week Pilates program. Standardized gait and balance functional test were used for objective assessment; patient outcome measurements were used for subjective evaluation of exercise effect. More detailed gait parameters were obtained using the GAITRite instrument. Measurements were performed before and after therapy. Significant change - improvement (p < 0.05) was observed in some values of balance parameters, walking parameters and even in some subjective questionnaires. Therefore, we suggest, that group exercise lessons supervised by experienced instructor may be beneficial exercise therapy for people with MS and mild disability....

Šašková, Vlasta ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Hošková, Blanka (referee)
Title: Influence of pilates method on the stabilizing system of the spine Objectives: The main aim of this diploma thesis was to confirm or refute the claim that a six-week motion program using the pilates method positively affects the stabilizing system of the spine. The partial aims of the work were to determine whether the a six-week motion program using the pilates method had a positive effect on the posture, spinal mobility, shortened muscles and standing stabilization. Methods: As a method of research, a case study was selected involving two adult persons (males). The motion program was preceded by an initial examination. In particular, static examination of the standing position, dynamic examination of standing position (flexion, extension, lateroflexion), examination of stabilization (Véle test, stand on 1 LL, standing on 2 scales), examinations of spinal distances (Schober's, Otto's and Čepojev's distance, lateroflexion), goniometry of rotation of thoracic and lumbar spine, examination of shortened muscles according to Janda (hip flexors, knee flexors, pectoralis major and minor, m.trapezius and paravertebral muscles) examination of postural stabilization by Kolář (extension test, trunk flexion test, diaphragm test, hip flexion test). Participants then underwent a six-week motion program...

The effect of selected exercise trends activating core stability system in dialysed patients - overview of the literature.
Burianová, Katarína ; Mahrová, Andrea (advisor) ; Svoboda, Lukáš (referee)
Title: The effect of selected exercise trends activating core stability system in dialysed patients - overview of the literature. Objective: Objective of this diploma thesis was to obtain and compare available studies dealing with exercise trends such as yoga, pilates, tai chi and balance training devices and to evaluate their effect on core stability system of dialysed patients. Methods: This diploma thesis has descriptively-analytical character and is structured in a form of literary review. Results: Issue of dialysis in connection with core stability system has not been sufficiently explored yet in literary sources. In conclusion, there were no studies found dealing with effects of particular exercise trends on core stability system of dialysed patients. In order to comprehend this issue an overview was written to define the effect of such trends on dialysed patients. Also, complications arising from renal failure and dialysis were mentioned such as hypertension, diabetes melitus and obesity. The effect of these trends on core stability system of healthy population as well as patients suffering from chronic back pain was described too. Conclusion: Some extent of coherence was found between strengthening core stability system and its effect on dialysed patients however further in- depth research...

Author: Bc. Barbora Valková Title: Modern fitness systems in outpatient physiotherapy Objectives: The main goal of this work is to describe a fitness systems that can be part of the therapy patients and to determine what these systems are used in physiotherapy. Methods: The research was conducted per a survey. I sent e-mails physiotherapists along with a request to fill. Regardless of the type of facility in which they work, age and length of experience.

The influence of Pilates on spinal disc herniation
JURÁSKOVÁ, Alena
Today´s world leads to the degenerative processes which consequently contribute to the high number of patients suffering from the spinal disc herniation. Pilates enables to improve the appropriate postural habits which is done by the strengthening of the deep stabilizing system. This system may later either completely eliminate or substantially reduce the backache. Pilates could be perceived as a prevention for those who wish to compensate for their poor lifestyle. It has turned out that an exercise focused on the entire body image brings better results than the one specialized merely in the correction of the individual postural mistakes. My thesis will provide you with the methodology aimed at methods how to receive important information from a client. You can utilize them later when constituting an intervention program. Furthermore, you can find here my 3 - month intervention program which includes initial and final analysis. The program was based on the regular one - week supervised exercise plus an additional exercise which the client was meant to do on her own. The second part to the thesis consists of the initial and final datas of the client who participated in the program. The results have shown a progress of the postural habits, musculature strengthening and a pain removal from the lumbar area. The prerequisite for the successful therapy lies in the active participation of a client.
