Mutinská, Lucie ; Vařeková, Jitka (advisor) ; Kovařovic, Vojtěch (referee)
Title: Compensatory foot arch exercises for athletes under the age of 18 Objectives: The aim of the Bachelor thesis was to examine the effect of compensatory exercises on the shape and function of the foot arch in athletes under the age of 18. Method: In a quantitative empirical study in the form of a quasi-experiment, a group of performance athletes from track and field sports club ASK Dipoli z.s (n = 10, 6 girls, 4 boys) underwent a 2-month intervention program to support the foot arch. Separate exercises for activating and stabilising the foot arch took place 3 times a week for 10 minutes. In the data collection, diagnostic tests, biomedical and physical measurements related to the foot arch were used in both the pre-test and post-test: aspection, palpation, evaluation of leg stabilization, anthropometric data regarding the foot arch, evaluation of the foot printed on paper, and other specific tests. Using the Excel software, the results were recorded and statistically processed at the level of comparison of values between each test. Results: As a result of the intervention, 2 of the 10 probands experienced changes in leg stabilization, which was assessed with a test by standing on 1 leg. All 10 probands experienced foot-shaped changes: the foot posture index (100%) test in particular showed...

Změna tvaru nožní klenby u kojenců a její vliv na kvalitu opory
MÁLKOVÁ, Renata
Nowadays, it is modern to treat young children as if they are adults, even if they are not ready for lots of things in many different ways. Parents dress them into jeans, they put them into shoes, they try to learn them how to stand before their body is even prepared for it. All of these things can cause lots of problems in the future without the parents even knowing. Foot developement is from the ontogenetic point of view a really individual thing and it has a link to psychomotor developement of the individual. The first aim of the study is to describe the change of the arch of the foot in the infant age. The second one is to describe some physiotherapeutic methods suitable for influencing of the quality of support in the infant age with using some case studies and reports. The theoretical part includes the anatomy of the foot and a short summary of developmental ontogenesis in the infant age. It also describes some congenital abnormalities and some therapeutic methods that could be used. In the practical part of this thesis, qualitative research was used, namely case studies in the form of case reports. Some children in the infant age were selected for this research. All those children were diagnosed with late psychomotor development and we expected, that their developement will have some impact on the quality of support. With all the infants included into the practical part of this thesis we saw the improvement of their psychomotor developement and also the improvement of the quality of support at the end of our study. Each of the children needed their own time to improve and to take the next step in their developement. Our therapeutic intervention really helped all the patients to improve.

Design and verification of an exercise program for children of younger school age focused on flat foot compensation
PFAUROVÁ, Eliška
This thesis deals with the design and validation of an exercise program for younger school-age children that focuses on compensating for flat feet. The theoretical part is more general and the anatomical knowledge of the foot is summarized. It also describes methods of footprint assessment and principles of compensatory exercises. Content analysis, synthesis and two methods of flatfoot impression assessment were used in this thesis-the segment method (Purgaric, 1994) and the method according to Chippaux-Smiriak (Klementa, 1987). This was followed by the design of an exercise program containing 25 exercises aimed at the selected target group. The exercise program was implemented by all seventeen pupils from the first grade of primary school in physical education classes for eight weeks. All pupils also underwent an initial testing. A comparison of the entry and exit tests was carried out for six pupils from this class. These pupils were selected on the basis of demonstrating a reduced vault on entry testing. The exit testing was identical to the entry testing and was conducted under the same conditions. According to the segment method, four out of six pupils improved, and according to the Chippaux-Smirák method, five out of six pupils improved, therefore the design of the exercise programme can be considered successful. This exercise program can be used in physical education classes in primary schools.

Posturographic training in flatbed therapy for younger school children
ČERNÁ, Adéla
The arch of the foot began to develop parallel to the transition towards an erect posture of the body to bear the weight and to absorb shocks while the foot is in contact with the ground. The human foot consists of two arches - longitudinal and transverse arch. Both start to develop as the child starts to walk. The development is finished around the pre-school age. From literature it is known that up to 80 % of inhabitants suffer from incorrect foot hold/position. One of the most common deformations of the foot appears to be flat feet. Flat feet are usually formed already in childhood. With the common causes being premature toddler footwear, fashion shoes, fast growth, and excessive physical activity etc. Posturographic techniques are methods used for measurement and treatment of qualitative and quantitate postural balance. There exist two types of posturography - static and dynamic. The theoretical part of the thesis covers the specification of foot anatomy and function, the arch of the foot, the definition of Flat feet and a brief description of therapy. It is followed by description of the posturographic function and posturographic tool, which was used during the practical part of this thesis for the therapy itself. The practical part of the thesis was processed as qualitative research where an initial examination of aspects, an interview and both a posturographic and podoscope assessment all concluded in the form of case reports, took place. Three boys, who attended the first grade of an elementary school were included in this study. They attended the posturograph therapy once a week and they went through a given set of exercises at home. First goal of this study was to observe if the posturography training included in the therapy of flat feet has an impact on the results within the children around the age of primary elementary school. The second goal was to evaluate the effect of posturography exercises on the therapy of flat feet among children. Although this thesis has not brought clear results, a slight improvement of the childrens posture could be observed. The explanation of the unclear results could be due to the small size of the test group or due to short and inefficiently intense therapy. Nonetheless some of the children were looking forward to attending the appointments and that in my opinion adds to the benefits of the overall results.

Influencing of static deformities of foot with using the method Propriofoot Concept
ŠOTOLOVÁ, Mirka
This bachelor's thesis deals with the topic of influencing of static deformities of foot by exercising on balance plates Propriofoot Concept. Target of this thesis was to summarize theoretical knowledge about static deformities of foot and the balance plates Propriofoot Concept and suggest an individual exercising unit on these balance plates to every patient. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part summarizes knowledge about anatomy of foot and its functional division, further focuses on the individual static deformities of front part of foot, sensomotorics and the Propriofoot Concept method. The practical part is processed by a form of qualitative research. There are cases reports of four patients aged from 20 to 50 years who participated in this research and have some of the static deformities - the most often hallux valgus, metatarsalgia and hammer toes. The research has lasted for four months. Each case report contains an input and output kinesiological analysis, their summary, as well as a description of the course and evaluation of a short-term rehabilitation plan. The research part of the thesis shows that the exercise on plates using the Propriofoot Concept is also suitable and effective in the therapy of people who suffer from any of the static deformities of the foot. This bachelor thesis can be used as an educational material in the clinical practice of a physiotherapist, the work is also suitable as inspiration for the general public.
