Slackline as a therapeutic possibility to influence postural stability
Komárková, Klára ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Mariana (referee)
Objectives: To summarize knowledge about a control of posture, a balance training and a testing on balance platform. I investigate in experimental part of my thesis if slackline training will affect stabilography and differences in quantitative parameters will be found in a training group or a control group. Hypothesis: A specific slackline training positively affects stability which was measured in posturographic selected tests done by the training group. Methods: We test postural stability in control (10 persons) and training (10 persons) group in selected tests of stability. We used a balance platform for testing. The data were statistically analysed. Results: 4 weeks of intense slackline training result in improvement of postural control. That is support by the data of stabilometric examination. The results were just below statistical significance (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The results testify that slacklining can improve postural control in healthy subjects. The results were on the boundary of statistical significance in our intervention group.

The role of sensomotoric training on balance in healthy adult subjects if included in short therapy plan
Aljeheny, Osama Hamed A ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Goal The goal of our pilot study was to evaluate the effect of short-term home based sensomotoric Training program (six weeks) in healthy adults on dynamic postural stability. We used the SOT at baseline and post the training program to evaluate the effect. Methodology The number of participants in this experiment was 10 healthy students, the number of males was 8 and 2 females, they were all between the age of 23 and 40 (mean 29.5 and ± S.D = 5.1 years). The sensory organization test was conducted at baseline and post the home based sensomotoric training program by using the dynamic posturography SMART Balance Master System (NeuroCom). The somatosensory (SOM), visual (VIS), vestibular (VEST), preference (PREF) and composite equilibrium outcome measures of the sensory organization test were evaluated. Results The VIS sensory system has significantly improved also the VEST sensory system with p-value < 0.05. The SOM sensory system had no significant improvement also the PREF sensory system with p-value > 0.05, while the overall composite equilibrium had a significant improvement with p-value > 0.05. Conclusion According to our findings the short-term home based sensomotoric training program has a positive effect in terms of improving the overall dynamic balance in healthy adults.

Active Wii video game system as a form of balance training - pilot study
Reichertová, Simona ; Medunová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Mariana (referee)
Introduction: The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes findings from foreign literature on virtual reality and its use in rehabilitation, as well as the possibility of the benefits of active video games as part of balance training, specifically gaming console Nintendo Wii. The practical part is a pilot study to evaluate the effect of balance training in patients with cerebral palsy using this gaming console. Methods: The study included five patients with cerebral palsy, three in the form of spastic hemiparesis, two in the form of spastic triparesis. Patients were aged 8-18 years. Therapy took place on the Nintendo Wii, selecting five games from cd/dvd Wii Fit Plus. Patients underwent a total of 8 treatments with a frequency of once a week. One therapy lasted 20-30 minutes, according to success in individual games. The effect of therapy was evaluated using the Balance Master, specifically through tests Weight / Bearing squat (weight distribution of the lower limbs), mCTSIB (modified test balance sensory interaction) Limits of Stability (CoG sway to the borders of support base), Rhytmic Weight Shift (fast active transfer of CoG), Walk Across, Tandem walk and Step/Quick Turn (walking with a turn). For statistical evaluation and comparison of the results before and after treatment was used...

Examination and therapy of balance of patients after stroke The use of Bobath concept elements in the therapy of stability impairment
Bulánová, Kateřina ; Matolínová, Vendula (advisor) ; Tichá, Monika (referee)
Title: Examination and therapy of balance of patients after stroke Subtitle: The use of Bobath concept elements in the therapy of stability impairment ABSTRACT: The bachelor's thesis deals with topic of balance of patients after stroke. It's divided into theorethical and practical part. In the theoretical part, balance is defined as a term and particular types of postural control are described. The theoretical part also involves overview of the best known tests used for examination component types of postural control. It summarizes basic rules of postural impairment therapy of patients after stroke. There is also described the Bobath concept as an option for therapeutical approach to patients with balance impairment, which is caused by stroke in case history. The practical part consists of two case studies. The goal of practical part was to verify an effect of therapy by using selected elements of Bobath concept in patients with balance impairment. The result was objectified with the use of BESTest scale. Key words: stroke, balance, Bobath concept, balance control, balance training, physiotherapy.
