Telska, Viktorie ; Křivánková, Markéta (advisor) ; Nováková, Pavlína (referee)
Title: Comparation of posture of the body of overweight and obese people and problems associated with it Objectives: The aim of the bachelor thesis is to compare the differences in posture between people suffering from overweight and obesity and to compare the difficulties associated with posture in these two groups. Methods: The method of determining the BMI value and the method of bioelectric impedance analysis of the body using the Tanita weight was used to determine the exact sample of probands and to divide them into the category of overweight and obesity. Furthermore, methods of evaluation of posture according to Jaroš and Lomíček, according to Klein, Thomas and Mayer and Trendelenburger's test were used. Lastly, a questionnaire survey method was used to identify difficulties in overweight and obese probands. Results: The results indicate a higher prevalence of wrong posture in obese probands compared to overweight probands. The incidence of musculoskeletal disorders was comparable in both groups of probands. The incidence of other disorders was more common in obese probands on average. Keywords: posture, inbody, backache, body mass index

Experiences of health workers with acupressure
ROUBÍČKOVÁ, Radka
The abstract of the diploma thesis is focused on the acupressure and its influence of backache of medical staff. We chose the theme of acupressure because it is a non-invasive treatment method which can be practiced by everyone in the comfort of the home and no aid is necessary to have, just the basic knowledge and training how to perform acupressure. Acupressure is not physically or time consuming and that is why it is considered as a suitable means as an additional treatment of pain and other health disorders. It can improve nursing care. The theoretical part deals with pain and pain of medical staff who are the highest risk group of backache in the lumbar region. The backache is the most frequent cause of incapacity for work. Furthermore, in the theoretical part we deal with acupressure, one of the methods of alternative medicine. For the processing of the theoretical part, we used the available foreign and Czech literary sources. The empirical part of the diploma thesis is a quantitative method. The results obtained from the research were processed in the overview tables and case reports. For the thesis we set two research objectives. The first objective was to find out the experience of medical staff with acupressure. The second objective was to verify the influence of the techniques of acupressure for backache of medical staff. On the basis of the aim two hypotheses were created. The first hypothesis should show whether the backache will be softened by application of the acupressure techniques. The second one shows whether there is the difference in approach of nurses and doctors to perform acupressure.

Periradicular therapy in the Hospital Český Krumlov a.s.
KUTIŠOVÁ, Magdalena
This bachelor thesis focuses on the issue of backache and its treatment. Backache is one of the most common diagnosis. The most affected are usually people in their productive age and therefore the economic and social consequences are very significant. There are many techniques used in diagnosis of backache, easier and cheaper techniques are used in the first place. The diagnosis consists of examination of the patient, medical history and clinical examination. The treatment depends on type and progress of the illness. The basic division is acute (4 to 6 weeks) and chronic case (more than 3 months). Another division is common backache, nervous radicular pain and serious illness of spine. I will mainly focus on nervous radicular pain. The basis of the therapy should be active treatment accompanied by physiotherapy. In addition to this therapy, pharmacological treatment is also used. The pharmacological treatment consists of application of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesic and also antidepressants. If the conservative therapy is not effective, it is possible to use the least invasive techniques. The most popular one is the periradicular therapy under CT guidance, which is also the subject of this thesis. During the periradicular therapy under CT guidance the needle is being inserted to intervertebral foramen in the area of radicular affected nerve where lytic mixture is then being applied. The lytic mixture is sometimes replaced by ozone with the same effect. When the PRT was first used, it was mainly applied in the area of lumbar spine. Nowadays, it is usually used in treatment of lesion in the area of cervical spine. The objective of this thesis is to describe anatomy of the examined area, physiological and pathological state, the main indications for the periradicular therapy and methods of implementation including the used tools and pharmaceutical. Following part is focused on development of application of this method in the Hospital of Český Krumlov, a.s. the radiodiagnostics department, and to analyse the effectiveness of the treatment. I have conducted analysis and processed data of performed periradicular therapies in the Hospital of Český Krumlov, a.s. from 2010, when the method was introduced, up to 2015. I have made a questionnaire survey of 40 people selected by chance and then I processed the data in order to create a general overview of obtained results. The result of the thesis is that the number of performed periradicular therapies is steadily increasing. One-third increase was recorded from 2010 to 2015. The number of women patients prevails, 53% of patients in the given period were women. The most common age category is 50 to 59 years, this category constitutes 37% of all patients. It was found out that most of the patients were treated just for one or two times. Only 7% of the patients were treated for more than two times. When processing the data from my survey, I have found out that most of the patients are satisfied with the effectiveness of the therapy, which corresponds with the results quoted in the bibliography.

The possibilities of using ointments containing industrial hemp to treat skin diseases
KALISTOVÁ, Romana
Medicinal hemp can influence symptoms of many diseases. It seldom causes total recovery; however the refilling of a healing effect of hemp can reduce occurring of some diseases and prevent many others. The key to successful hemp usage as a medicine is in systematic using and also in frequency of administration. The following diseases were chosen because hemp was already used there and also was proved its effectiveness towards symptomatic relief. In the first part of my baccalaureate thesis is introduced a historical and scientific survey of hemp and its usability for medical purposes. In the practical part of my work is mentioned a qualitative research dealing with its potential influence. The aim of my work is to propose already mentioned facts in a form which is available to the general public as well as contributing other interested persons to further exploring.

Kinesiotherapy in patiens with osteoporosis
BRAŠNIČKOVÁ, Jana
Abstract The theme of this bachelor's thesis is kinesiotherapy in patients with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is the disease of metabolism which causes the density of bone mass, the bone becomes less firm and tough. This disease can be asymptomatic in the long term, but it causes many physical and mental problems later, which markedly get worse the quality of life. The first symptoms of osteoporosis are chronic backaches and fractures caused by minimal strain. These pains often raise feelings of depression, anxiety and fear. The preconditions of origin of osteoporosis are genetic but they are formed also from the early childhood, that's why it is very important to follow healthy lifestyle which includes sufficient calcium and vitamine D intake, activity, proper diet and avoiding toxic influences from the birth. Kinesiotherapy is one of the most important ways of preventive and medical care of patients who are endangered by osteoporosis or suffer by this disease. It is aimed at the improvement of motoric stereotypes, muscular strenght, mobility, coordination and activation of deep stabilizing system. It teaches proper breathing, lying, sitting, standing, lifting and carrying loads, forward bend and relaxation. World Health Organization considers this disease as one of the biggest health problems of mankind. Therefore I think it is important to pay attention to these issues. The first part of this bachelor's thesis is aimed at theoretic knowledge, divided into general and special part. The general part includes knowledge about structure and function of a bone, defines osteoporosis, deals with its classification, its clinical symptoms, its diagnosing and risk factors. Next there are described the possibilities of therapy, preventive measures and the impact of osteoporosis. In the special part there is introduced the definition of kinesiotherapy, its medical effect and general principles which is important to follow during kinesiotherapy procedure. It deals with possibilities of kinesiotherapy according to clinical phases and then describes particular kineziotherapy methods suitable for patients with osteoporosis. The aim of a theoretical part was to outline the possibilities of kinesiotherapy of patient with osteoporosis. The second part of this thesis is my research. For this part was chosen the method of qualitative research. It was done as case history including anamnestic data, initial and final kinesiological analysis, the progress of therapy, conclusion and long-term rehabilitation plan. The data were collected during the interviews with patients, by observing of them, sampling of anamnesis, kinesiological screening and the analysis of data from medical documentation. The research set was formed by two patients diagnosed with osteoporosis. The research was carried out in rehabilitation ward Poliklinika Jih in České Budějovice during four weeks. Exercising took place twice a week for 20-30 minutes. Soft tissue techniques, mobilisations, post isometric relaxation, stretching, fitness, breathing and relaxation exercising, elements training of the back, exercising with a big ball, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, sensomotoric stimulation and the activation of deep stabilizing system. The aim of the research was to compile and realize the most effective kinesiotherapy procedures for chosen patients diagnosed with osteoporosis. The results show that the chosen kinesiotherapy methods influenced positively the condition of both patients. It is evident that their backache and posture are much better. They evaluate the therapy as positive and useful for their health. From the kinesiologic point of view it is evident the improvement in breathing stereotype, posture and reduction of some asymmetry and muscular unbalance which negatively influenced physical and mental aspects of patients.

Back pain prevention nurses.
BERANOVÁ, Kristýna
The thesis: Backache Prevention in General Nurses, examines whether general nurses practice backache occurrence prevention. The following goals were set for the quantitative research: Goal 1: To find out whether general nurses are sufficiently informed on backache prevention in performance of their job. Goal 2: To find out whether nurses have an opportunity to participate in preventive programmes focused on backache prevention in the organizations they work for. The following hypotheses were set: Hypothesis 1: Backache, as a symptom of overload is a frequent health problem among general nurses. Hypothesis 2: Nurses practice backache prevention. Hypothesis 3: Nurses regularly keep fit. Hypothesis 4: Nurses that attend seminars or training sessions aimed at backache prevention are sufficiently informed on these problems. Hypothesis 5: Organizations where nurses work provide them with some preventive programme aimed at backache prevention. The method of anonymous questionnaire focused on general nurses working in a hospital was used for confirmation of the hypotheses. After assessment of the quantitative research results we discovered, that the first hypothesis in the quantitative research was confirmed. Hypotheses 2 and 3 were not confirmed by the research. Hypothesis 4 was conformed, nevertheless not many nurses participate in seminars or courses aimed at this issue. Hypothesis 5 was confirmed with the comment that an employer should do more for health of nurses. The research has shown that general nurses are actually aware of how to prevent backache occurrence, however not many of them use that. Neither the employer contributes remarkably to prevention of the fact that healthcare is the profession where backache occurs most frequently of all. I am convinced that thorough training of new healthcare staff should be sufficient for remarkable reduction of backache occurrence. A brochure that will be the output of this thesis may serve this purpose, as well as continuous training by a qualified physiotherapist or a physician together with provision of an all-hospital seminar.
