Foot Arch in Childhood
Kellerová, Kateřina ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
Author: Bc. Kateřina Kellerová Title: Foot Arch in Childhood Problem definition: The most often diagnosis related to the foot arch in childhood is definitely flexible flat foot also called pes planovalgus. Because of that this thesis will be mostly oriented on this diagnosis. There are many articles about flexible flat foot and many studies were oriented on this problem. The informations about etiology, influencing factors or therapy are sometimes discordant in different articles. But almost all of them contain one same statement which says that the prevalence of this diagnosis is decreasing as the foot arch is changing during the child's growth. It means in older children there is not flexible flat foot so often as in the younger ones. But there is no detailed description of the dynamics of these changes of the foot arch in childhood. Aim of this thesis: The aim of this thesis is to find out the development of the foot arch in children of pre-school age. In other words to run the survey to find out the changes of the foot arch in children of pre-school age which occurs in six months. Method: The survey contains anamnesis questionnare for parents and also these examinations: footprints, examination of joint laxity, mobility of hip joint, position of knee, patellae and heel, Jack's test, posibility...

Possibilities of objective diagnosis of flat foot
Palouš, Vojtěch ; Opálková, Michaela (advisor) ; Babková, Lenka (referee)
The subject of this work is the flat foot - pes planus. Foot mechanical functions are described including features demonstrating flatfoot pathology. I summarize knowledge in embryology, anatomy and biomechanics, and focus on possibilities to evaluate functions of the foot with both classical and modern methods. The goal of this work is survey of diagnostic methods, mainly current procedures of objective evaluation and determination of the precize kind of the foottype pathology. I also include my original measurements on a patient and I compare the conclusions based on individual methods.

Influence of sensomotoric stimulation on flat foot in preschool-aged children
Řehůřková, Markéta ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
Title: The effect of sensomotoric stimulation on flat foot of children Introduction: Flat foot is a common health problem in childhood. Its development is related to congenital or acquired dysfunction of the plantar vault. There is no single opinion on the criteria for diagnosis and therapy forms. The aftereffects and health risks of flat foot are often neglected. The therapy form of sensomotoric stimulation, including balance exercises and walking barefoot over different surfaces, could be an appropriate part of the physical activities and games for children in kindergarten. Objectives: The main objective of this work is to evaluate the effect of sensomotoric stimulation of flat foot at preschool age. Methods: The research contains 21 children. Forty-two foot prints were taken at the beginning of the therapy. Three methods were used to evaluate the foot prints: the Chippaux-Šmiřák method, the Godunov-Sztriter method and the Mayer method. The therapy form of sensomotoric stimulation included balance exercises and walking barefoot over different surfaces. The duration of therapy was 15 minutes each school day for six months. The control foot prints of 15 children were taken after the therapy and the results were compared with the foot prints before therapy. Results: The research contains twenty-one...

The therapy form of sensomotoric stimulation, including balance exercises and walking barefoot over different surfaces, could be an appropriate part of the physical activities and games for children in kindergarten. Objectives: The main objective of this thesis was to compare foot prints of a group of children from one kindergarten class before and after six months of sensomotoric stimulation by three different methods (the Chippaux-Šmiřák method, the Godunov-Sztriter method and the Mayer method.). The second objective was to determine at what age category will be the highest prevalence of flat feet and also at what age group is the biggest improvement of the foot arch. The third objective was to compare each other method and determine whether the results will match. Hypothesis 1: After six months of sensomotoric stimulation of the feet of children occurs in the majority of feet of probands the improvement of the longitudinal foot arch...

Evaluation of the effect of exercise according to the Propriofoot concept and the methodology of Sensorimotor Training by Janda and Vávrová on foot pressure distribution.
Dudová, Helena ; Vilímek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Goldmann, Tomáš (referee)
Title: Evaluation of the effect of exercise according to the Propriofoot concept and the methodology of Sensorimotor Training by Janda and Vávrová on foot pressure distribution Objectives: In this thesis the following three goals were set: First, to find out if and how does the percentual foot pressure distribution between the left and right foot in standing change after a four-week long exercise according to either the methodology of Sensorimotor training by Janda and Vávrová or the Propriofoot concept. Second, if and how will the segmental foot load change. Third, if the prospective changes of foot load will agree or differ between the two groups. Methods: A pilot study for quantitative research using experimental scientific method was conducted, with two groups consisting of ten members each, aged thirty to fifty and diagnosed with flat foot. At the beginning, all probands underwent diagnostic measurement using the "Plantograf V10" device. Then they attended a four-week long individual therapy with an exercise plan created according to one of the two methods in consideration. At the end the probands were again measured by the same device. Entrance and control measurements obtained for each participant and both groups were evaluated, compared and statistically analyzed. Results: Analysis of the...

Individually manufactured orthopedic insoles as an option for correction of acquired leg defects
Cákoci, Lenka ; Jagerová, Jana (advisor) ; Pařilová, Markéta (referee)
Title: Individually manufactured orthopedic insoles as an option for correction of acquired leg defects Objectives: The main objective of this work is to create comprehensive overview of the theory of acquired leg deformities during life and possibilities of correction and treatment of these deformities in the form of orthopaedic insoles manufactured individually for a particular client and by different methods. Methods: In context of my work I used the systematic research method. This is based on available Czech and foreign literature, electronic sources, from materials obtained at congresses and from personal consultations. Results: The result of this thesis is an inventory of information, which deals with each acquired foot defects, causes and connections between them; and treatment offers or correction options using individually manufactured orthopaedic insoles, but also other methods of treatment. Further, this thesis shows production offer of orthopaedic insoles, beginning from older development, but still used, up to methods to news in the field. Thesis with its content, can present a benefit for orthotics students and other medical workers working in the field of calceotics and podology. Keywords: diagnostics, calceotics, foot arch, materials, leg defects, method of production
