The Use of Vibration in Sports and Health Care
Koutná, Martina ; Stackeová, Daniela (advisor) ; Malá, Jitka (referee)
Title: The Use of Vibration in Sports and Health Care Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine whole-body vibration training as potential training method in sport and health area. The usage of vibration training should increase strength, bone mineral density, and balance. Methods: This diploma thesis is solely theoretical. It is based on review of available literary sources, clinical trials accessible through electronic databases of medical and sports, and library catalogs. The resources from sport, physiology, biomechanics, and various medical disciplines (osteology, physiotherapy, kinesiology) were used also. Results: The research concluded that the usage of whole-body vibration of an appropriate frequency or acceleration respectively could represent an alternative or a supplement to conventional training in order to increase muscle strength and bone mineral density or improve balance and mobility of elderly. The selection of right vibration parameters could support ordinary physical therapy of some neurological disorders. Keywords: vibration, whole-body vibration training, muscle strength, balance, bone mineral density, neurological disorders, physical therapy

Use of vibration in sports and health care
Koutná, Martina ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title: The Use of Vibration in Sports and Health Care Objectives: The aim of this study is to confirm or refute established hypotheses. Hypotheses: 1. The use of vibration loading improves muscle strength. 2. The use of vibration loading improves bone mineral density. 3. The use of vibration loading can influence balance. Methods: This diploma thesis is elaborated as search form. It is based on exploration of available literary sources, clinical trials accessible through electronic databases of medical and sports, and library catalogs. The resources from sport, physiology, biomechanics, and various medical disciplines (osteology, physiotherapy, kinesiology) were used also. Results: Due to retrieval process of whole body vibration training it was found out that this method can improve muscle strength, bone mineral density, balance and mobility. The effect depends on chosen parameters of whole-body vibrations. Under certain conditions whole-body vibration training could represent an alternative or a supplement to conventional training in order to increase muscle strength and bone mineral density or improve balance and mobility of elderly. The selection of right vibration parameters could support ordinary physical therapy of some neurological disorders. Keywords: vibration, whole-body vibration...

Effect of braces on the stereotype of the walk in patients with disorders of the peripheral nervous system
Dvořák, Miloslav ; Šolc, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Černý, Pavel (referee)
Title: Effect of braces on the stereotype of the walk in patients with disorders of the peripheral nervous system. Objective: The main objective of this work is to assess the improvement in walking patients with neurological disorders after application of braces that improve the stability and function of the weakened limbs. Method: The work is processed mainly in the form of research. The work focuses on the theoretical part, which is written according to the used literature. In the theoretical part is the great attention paid to the individual stages of the walk, the anatomical structure of the lower limbs and neurological disorders of the peripheral nerovového system. The practical part focuses on the status of patients after neurological damage and assessment of patients without the brace and walk with the orthosis and also the overall improvement in their walking exercise essential needed for daily needs. Results: The results will improve, concerning individual patients after walking braces. Keywords: neurological disorders, stands phase, controls swing phase, orthotics

Defects in DNA repair and RNA metabolism associated with human neurological disorders
Cihlářová, Zuzana ; Hanzlíková, Hana (advisor) ; Čermák, Lukáš (referee) ; Roithová, Adriana (referee)
The human genome is constantly under the attack by various damaging agents, leading to the breakage of one or both strands of DNA that might interfere with RNA processing. Importantly, our cells have evolved diverse mechanisms to rapidly repair various DNA lesions, highlighting the importance of genetic integrity. Defects in DNA repair and/or RNA metabolism can lead to a variety of human hereditary diseases, with pathologies including growth and developmental defects, immunodeficiency, predisposition to cancer, and neurodegeneration. Mutations in the BRAT1 (BRCA1-associated ATM activator-1) protein have been associated with neurological disorders characterized by heterogenous phenotypes with varying levels of clinical severity ranging from microcephaly, hypertonia, epilepsy, seizures, and early death in the first two years of life to mild cerebellar atrophy and ataxia. Previously, BRAT1 protein has been implicated in the cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks and ATM signalling. However, the exact mechanism/s by which mutations in BRAT1 gene trigger neurological disorders are largely unknown. Recently, we have identified a homozygous missense c.185T>A (p.Val62Glu) variant in BRAT1 that markedly reduced the level of BRAT1 protein in patient-derived cell lines. Surprisingly, our data show that...
