Breathing simulator
Stejskal, David ; Jedelský, Jan (referee) ; Lízal, František (advisor)
The purpose of this thesis was to create realistic breathing cycles for breathing simulator and than to verify the functionality of the simulator. The first section of this thesis was conceived as an general introduction to problematics of breathing. This section describes the construction of the lungs, the breathing mechanism and lung volumes. The subject of this study were also important factors that affect human respiration. Processing of acquired data and creation of breathing cycles for breathing simulator is described in the second section of this thesis. Five specific breathing patterns were created. The experimental verification of the breathing simulator functionality is part of the second section.

Influence of the posture's change on respiratory function in spinal cord injury patients.
Pavlikhina, Ekaterina ; Vilímek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Šorfová, Monika (referee)
Author: Bc. Pavlikhina Ekaterina Title: Influence of the posture's change on respiratory function in spinal cord injury patients. Objectives: The purpose of this thesis is to analyze change in respiratory function on change of posture in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Another objective is to compare the respiratory functions in a health subjects and in a SCI patients. Last but not least is an effort to find out whether SCI patients have a pattern of restrictive pulmonary dysfunction. The findings can help understanding development of respiratory complications after spinal cord injury. It may help in choosing optimal position during respiratory examination and respiratory rehabilitation. Methods: In theoretical part, there were explored the available knowledges about respiratory complications and their effects on posture. In practical part, there were 26 subjects - 16 patients with SCI and 10 healthy subjects. Subjects with SCI were divided into two groups - one with paraplegia and other one with quadriplegia. Measurements were performed with spirometer on each subject during supine, sitting and standing postures. There were collected vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) data from all subjects. All data were processed in...

Breathing and its parameters in increased demands on postural stability
Středová, Michaela ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Strnad, Pavel (referee)
Title: Breathing and its parameters in increased demands on postural stability Aims: The main objective is to carry out a quantification research of wind parameters and specify mechanical parameters to compare the effect of increased postural stability claim for breath, prepare the correct research methodology and carry out independent measurements. The first part of the thesis is focused on the search process of the issue. In the second part of special research was done, where we panned respiratory parameters while standing on the ground and on unstable platform and position of markers in 3D space. Methods: 1. Measurement of respiratory parameters using lung spirometer 2. Measurement of defined points in 3D space using Qualisys technology We measured quiet breathing and consciously deep breathing when standing on the ground or when standing on a balance pad. Total 4 measurements were carried out after 20 seconds. The experiment involved 14 probands aged 22-31 years, 10 women and 4 men. The average age of the probands was 24.5 years, mean height was 172.5 cm and mean weight 68.6 kg. From our study were excluded smokers, professional players of wind instruments, professional athletes, pregnant women, children, people with chronic respiratory disease, CNS disorders, persons with motor limitations, or...
