Conscious muscle activation in distal direction based on Vojta's principle and its effect on the power of the upper extremity
Pihera, Jan ; Katolický, Jakub (advisor) ; Šafářová, Marcela (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on examining the effects of an exercise protocol on upper limb performance. Exercise protocol was based on the principle of voluntary muscle activation in the distal direction. The theoretical part sets out the theoretical basis necessary to place the approach in the phylogenetic, anatomical and kinesiological context. The study develops a view of the motor mechanism contained in our neuromotor system and is nevertheless very little taken into account in modern physiotherapy. The main aim of the study was to determine the relevance of the effect, in terms of upper limb performance, in the short-term application of an exercise protocol based on the mechanism of voluntary muscle activation in the distal direction. Methods: A total of 20 patients who met the study requirements were enrolled in the study, with only 17 of them (mean age 24.6; SD ± 1.6) completing the entire program and therefore the results of only these probands were evaluated. They were randomly divided into two groups in a 1: 1 ratio. Group A performed assignments in the form of a five-minute exercise protocol based on the mechanism of distal muscle activation on a daily basis, and an identical exercise plan with the opposite direction of commands was presented to group B. As part of the measured factors...

Monitoring of changes regarding muscle involvement in specific areas of human motion system when walking and nordic walking
Škopek, Martin ; Kračmar, Bronislav (advisor) ; Kučera, Miroslav (referee) ; Jandová, Soňa (referee)
The Dissertation is concerned with monitoring of changes regarding muscle involvement in specific areas of human motion system when walking and Nordic walking (NW) with focus on adults and by means of electromyography method. Within the process of field testing there were 9 randomly selected individuals at the age of 50 - 60 tested to elicit differences in the motion system. There was an effort to find certain differences within involvement of specific muscle groups in the area of shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle and lower limbs and retrieval of similarities of coordination attributes concerning locomotion at horizontal presented by paradigm of kinesiological content of reflexive crawling according to Vojta's principle. Kinematic analyses was used to discover a difference in involvement of specific muscles between Nordic (v = 5 kph) and regular walking (v = 4, 75 kph) up to 10˚ of ascent. Muscles where their MVC was diagnosed the difference in individual muscle involvement was monitored expressed in percentage. The values found were consequently related to their referential value of MVC and tested by means of Wilcoxon test for dependent selection. Muscles where MVC value was not diagnosed the intraindividual comparative analyses of activation muscle pair similarity was carried out on the grounds of...

The effect of reflex locomotion of Vojta therapy on development of child in the physiotherapy
Kordíková, Ivana ; Marečková, Soňa (advisor) ; Radošovská, Soňa (referee)
Name: Kordíková Ivana Supervisor: Mgr. Soňa Marečková Opponent: Title of bachelor thesis: The effect of reflex locomotion of Vojta therapy on development of child in the physiotherapy ABSTRACT The subject of bachelor thesis is the Vojta's method. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The first chapter of the theoretical part is focused on motor developement of healthy child. The second chapter is about the metod of reflective locomotion - about it's characteristic, goals, princip and progress. The third chapter describe diagnostics, therapy and also importance of good comunication among parent and child.In the practical part I want to use the method of research. I would like to find out the effect of method not olny on the children's patients but also on their parents who practiced the method on their children. Keywords: Prof. Dr. Vaclav Vojta, Vojta method, psychomotoric development of child, Vojta therapy, reflective locomotion, reflective creepage, reflective rotation.

Kinesiotherapy in infants with central coordination disorder
Reichmannová, Taťána ; Hvězdová, Jana (advisor) ; Horká, Bohumila (referee)
Author: Taťána Reichmannová Institution: Department of rehabilitation medicine Title: Kinesiotherapy in infants with central coordination disorder Supervisor: Mgr. Jana Hvězdová Pages: 82 Inserts: 21 Year of presentation: 2013 Keywords: Vojta method, reflexology, infant, developmental kinesiology, central coordination disorder, locomotion, motor skills of the child The thesis deals with central coordination disorder in infancy and its treatment Vojta. The work is dividend into theoretical and practical. The theoretical part describes the central coordination disturbance, psychomotor development in the first In the life of each trimester for a healthy child, diagnosis, marginally devoted to reflexology and positional tests. I pay attention Vojta method - the principle tripping zones, crawling reflex, reflex station. I mention neurological examination infants. I highlight the effect of the predilection of the head, colic in infants and hypertonicky to affect postural further development. The practical part deals with monitoring the development of two infants with central coordination disorder and applications Vojta method for these children.
