Postural stability assesment of female physiotherapists
Machová, Pavlína ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Opatrná Novotná, Irena (referee)
Title: Postural stability assesment of female physiotherapists Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to evaluate and compare the level of dynamic postural stability of female physiotherapists with former or current sports (racing) careers versus physiotherapists without sports careers. Another aim is to compare how the level of postural stability of physiotherapists differs from the general population. Methods: This study is among quantitative experimental studies. The research was done from August 2020 to February 2021. The research involved 20 probands - women. Participants were divided into two groups by ten based on a former or current sports career or without a sports career. The control group was provided with normative data from the instrument manufacturer. The analysis and information on sports activities were collected using a questionnaire. Postural stability was measured with The Neurocom's The EquiTest Smart. The following tests were used: The Sensory Organization Test, The Motor Control Test, The Adaption Test, and The Limits of Stability Test. The results were processed with tables in Microsoft Excel. In Microsoft Excel, data were evaluated statistically and compared with each other. The mean, standard deviation, median and interquartile range were calculated. The following...

The relationship between motor tests and dynamic postural stability parameters
Vrubelová, Lucie ; Vomáčková, Helena (advisor) ; Pánek, David (referee)
Title: The relationship between motor tests and dynamic postural stability parameters Objectives: The aim of this dissertation is to verify the relationship between motor performance and dynamic postural stability parameters in young individuals in the healthy population. To find out in addition whether there exists a significant relationship between motor tests and dynamic postural stability parameters, as well as to verify the differences between males and females within this relationship. Methods: This is a quantitative correlation study investigating the possible relationship between motor tests and dynamic postural stability parameters in young healthy individuals. The Smart EquiTest device from Neurocom was used to measure dynamic postural stability. The following tests were used for these measurements: Limits of Stability (LOS), Sensory Organisation Test (SOT), Motor Control Test (MTC), Adaptation Test (ADT), Weight Bearing/Squat (WBS), Unilateral stance (US) and Rhythmic Weight Shift (RWS). Motor performance was measured using 2 batteries of tests: UNIFIT 6-60 and EUROFIT for adults. In total, 24 healthy volunteers (9 males and 15 females) aged 21-29 years were deliberately enrolled for this study. Each volunteer undertook 8 motor performance tests, anthropometric measurements and 7 tests...
