Title: Morphological profile of forefoot in school-age children in relation to the volume of physical activities Objectives: The aim of the thesis is to characterize the morphological profile of the foot with an emphasis on the forefoot and to identify specific differences between selected morphological parameters of the foot in school-age children based on different volumes of physical activity: significantly physically active, moderately physically active and physically inactive children. A secondary goal is to determine the profile of physical activities performed by children of younger school age and the relationship to selected foot deformities. Methods: The diploma thesis is a scientific-research work and has the character of an observational-descriptive non-experimental study. The research group of the study consisted of school children aged 6-10 years from three primary schools in Prague (average age 8 ±1.2 years, body height 132.8 ±8.6 cm, weight 29.9 ±7.7 kg, BMI 16 .8 ±16.8). The following dependent variables were measured: foot typology, function of the windlass mechanism of the foot, metaphalangeal joint stiffness of the big toe, and forefoot deformities between groups divided by the PAQ-C/CZ physical activity questionnaire. Questionnaire methods, a 3D leg scanner and selected clinical...

Title: Effects of the therapeutic physical education program on young people with orthopaedic foot defects Objectives: This undergraduate thesis is aimed to test the effect of exercise mainly on hallux valgus and hammertoes of young people with such defects. Methods: It is a qualitative study using the research method of a case study. The effect of the 4-week therapeutic physical education program was tasted on 3 people with orthopaedic foot defects. There were 1 male and 2 female probands aged between 17 and 24 years with orthopaedic foot defects (hallux valgus, hammertoes, high arch). In all three cases, the trouble started approximately at the age of 10. The therapeutic physical education program lasted 28 days for 15 minutes a day and included sensory and motorial exercises. The methods of data collection in the entry and exit examinations were assessment of aspection and palpation, functional tests, and examination on podoscope, which was repeated 2 months after finishing the therapeutic physical education program. Continuous changes were recorded by probands in the diary, including the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Results: After 28-days of intervention, monitoring by the podoscope showed that the pressure on the front of the foot has been reduced in case of 2 out of the 3 probands. Weight...
