Evaluation of functional biomechanical parameters of locomotion depending on the performed amputation in LL
Blažek, Michal ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Šorfová, Monika (referee)
Title: Evaluation of functional biomechanical locomotion parameters depending on the performed amputation in LL Objectives: The goals of this thesis are the following: to compare asymmetry in step cycle time, pelvis, hip and knee movement and lower limb loading while walking, also to compare sagittal movement of pelvis while walking, postural stability in stance and subjective scoring of the functional skills and the quality of life in healthy controls, transfemoral and knee disarticulation amputees. Methods: 6 healthy controls and 3 amputees in each amputation group were included in this experiment. Qualisys motion capture system and Kistler force plates to collect objective data and specific sections of Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire for subjective scoring were used. The participants were observed while level walking forward and backward with self-selected speed and in a quiet stance with eyes either open or closed with narrow support base. Statistical analysis was carried out in Microsoft Excel. Results: In terms of asymmetry assessment of the selected ambulation parameters there were identified more symmetrical values in the knee disarticulation group in 63 % of 33 monitored parameters. However, statistical significance was exceeded only in a single parameter. Concerning pelvic movement in...
Didactics of jumps from a small trampoline in the competition Teamgym
Šindelář, Jan ; Krištofič, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Chrudimský, Jan (referee)
1 Abstract Name: Didactics of jumps from a small trampoline in the competition TeamGym Characteristics: The teoretical part deals with concepts related to gymnastice, history and the division of gymnastics, mainly gymnastic sport TeamGym. The main discipline that deals with this work is the small trampoline. There is also defined a preparation for handling jumps from a small trampoline, stimulation of motor skills and their division, the technique of motion and general didactic principles. The main goal of the practical part is to design a didactic program for handling selected jumps from a small trampoline. The design is based on a kinematic analysis of selected jumps, literary research and your own experience. These are the basic jumps: the forward tuck, the forward pike, the forward straight and the forward double tuck. The kinematic analysis, the observation method and video recordings were used to fulfill the objectives and tasks. The conclusion of the bachelor work contains a summary of the whole issue and evaluation of the use of didactic program for the training units of jumps from a small trampoline. Further research directions are also indicated in the thesis. Keywords: Gymnastics, TeamGym, Small Trampoline, Didactics, Technics, Jumps, Elements, Biomechanical analysis.
Femoral and tibial cortical tissue distribution: the error ranges of cross-sectional parameters
Schuplerová, Eliška ; Sládek, Vladimír (advisor) ; Velemínská, Jana (referee)
In biomechanical analyses, the position of long bone cross-section under study is defined relatively to biomechanical length (BML) of the bone. In damaged bones where BML can not be measured, the position of the cross-section has to be estimated. Sládek et al. (2010) studied the effect of inaccurately located femoral and tibial midshafts on the cross-sectional parameters in a pooled-sex sample from a single period. In the present study we aim to test whether the effect of inaccurately located femoral and tibial midshafts on the cross-sectional parameters is sample-specific and/or sex-specific. We used femora of 29 females and 25 males and tibiae of 24 females and 36 males from two different periods (Late Eneolithic and Early Bronze Age; early modern period). 29 cross-section CT scans per bone obtained at each 1% interval from 40% to 60% of BML and at each 5% interval from 20-40% and 60-80% of BML were available to us. We digitized the cross-section scans and computed the error ranges of the cross-sectional parameters. We compared the mean percentage difference (MD%) and mean accuracy range (MAR) between samples and sexes. Our results are in concordance with the results of Sladek et al. (2010): the cross-sectional parameters most sensitive to positioning error are tibial second moments of area (MAR...
Analysis of the immediate effect of kinesiotaping on the upper limbs when falling into a handle in gymnastic aerobics
Vítková, Markéta ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Vomáčková, Helena (referee)
Title: Analysis of the immediate effect of kinesiotaping on the upper limbs when landing into a press-up position when doing gymnastic aerobics Objectives: The aim of this diploma thesis is to find out if the use of the tape on the upper limbs changes the acceleration associated with the reaction inertial force of the arm, the angle in the elbow joint and wrist when landing into the press-up position, as well as subjective evaluation of probands. The hypothesis for the practical part is that the angles in the joints mentioned and the magnitude of the force with the applied tap change, which would result in better stabilization of the upper limbs in this element, as well as positive evaluation of the probands. Methods: The theoretical part deals with kinesiological-biomechanical description of upper limbs and the characteristics of gymnastic aerobics. Moreover, biomechanical analysis and kinesiotaping are described. The practical part is devoted to the measurement of landings into the press-up position  first without tape and then with tape. The tape is described in detail. The XSens MVN was used to record motion. Results: The results showed that kinesiotape had no effect on the angle of the elbow and wrist joints or shoulder joints when landing into the press-up position. However, a positive...

Jiroušek, Ondřej ; Jírová, Jitka
An algorithm for the construction of mathematical models for the finite element method using the computer tomography scans is shortly described in this paper. The stress analysis of a new type of implant used in finger reconstruction surgery was carried out with the help of a model constructed using this algorithm.
