The role of motor imagery in motor learning and the quality of movement performance
Hahn, Sarah ; Řasová, Kamila (advisor) ; Hlinovská, Jana (referee)
Introduction: The influence of imagination and emotions on our body has been talked about for several decades. The results of studies in the field of neuroscience confirm these assumptions. However, it is necessary to demonstrate their real clinical effectiveness in rehabilitation or physiotherapy. Objective: The aim of the study is to find out what role the idea of movement plays in learning new motor patterns. The effort is to find out to what extent and in which parameters the change occurred after a 14-day exercise cycle in individual cases. Methods: Medical students who were divided into three groups voluntarily participated in the randomized study. The 1st diagonal of the upper limb (1.D UL) from the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) method was selected for the study. Volunteers in all groups exercised daily for 14 days. The first group (group image) practiced only in their imagination. The second group (group moto) exercised physically with an audio recording for the same amount of time. The third group (group mix) practiced the first week using their imagination and the second week by physical exercise. During the three days of the cycle, before and after the start of the 14-day exercise program, the volunteers completed input and output measurements. These measurements...
The Influence of Virtual Reality on Psychosomatic State of Patients with Spinal Cord Injury
Nosková, Kateřina ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
The Aim of the Study: The aim of this diploma thesis is to capture the change of clinical state of patients with spinal cord injury while watching videos of virtual reality fot three 3 months using ASIA assessment. The goal is to determine the effect of the change of clinical state on the patient's quality of life while using SQUALA and on their imagery ability (WIAQ) while a therapeutic video of virtual reality is regularly played through virtual reality headset. Methods: The research was conducted with 7 probands (n=7, 5 males, 2 females) aged between 31 and 61 years (the average age of 49,6 years), which regular visitors of Centrum Paraple, o. p. s. The propands who participated in research suffer with incomplete spinal lesion. Before any intervention the probands were assessed by ASIA, standardised assessment to estimate neurological level of spinal lesion by assigning the number of motor and sensitive points in each segment. The assessment was conducted by proffessional and specificly trained staff of Centrum Paraple, o. p. s. Furthermore the probands completed the psychological questionnaires to evaluate their quality of life (SQUALA) and imagery ability of the movement (WIAQ) in the pacient with spinal cord injury. As in the beginnig, so in the end of the research the ASIA was conducted once...
