Falling of elderly population
Islami, Timur ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Nováková, Pavlína (referee)
Title: Falls in the eldery Objectives: The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyze and classify knowlage about falls in the eldery during usual daily activities with focus on prevencion and detection of falls by useing wearable and non wearable systems for detecting falls in the eldery. Methods: This diploma thesis is wrote with the metod of literary research through professional literature, books and articles in both Czech and English was used in the work. To meet the objectives that have been provided were selected examples that helped analyze and clarify the issue of falls in eldery. Results: The sources of professional literature have shown that the falls in the eldery are very serious issue of society. At the same time, it is important to be aware of their possible health and economic impacts, as well as how to prevent them. The correct use of fixation shoes has been shown to reduce the risk of fall. Many fall detection devices are able to call for timely help. Last but not least, knowlage of this issue could help to improve and innovate the fall detecion and prevention systems. Keywords: falls in eldery, senior immobilization, biomechanics of falls, detection and prevention of senior falls, osteoporosis, senior bone aging, senior cartilage aging, biomechanics of senior walking, walking...

Změny v rychlosti pohybu chodců městským prostorem v závislosti na charakteru veřejného prostranství
Vašut, Radka ; Šimara (Horáková), Eva ; Kilnarová, Pavla
The aim of this paper is to compare the number of pedestrians in individual directions of street, the total number of pedestrians and the walking speed in three selected locations of the pedestrian zone in Brno’s historical centre. This will be done in order to verify the dependence of pedestrian walking speed on the character of the selected location. This article compares the acquisition of this data both empirically and by digital data collection using a data logger via a Wi-fi signal from the mobile phones of public space users. The outputs are presented as graphs comparing times and measured data from all case studies, complete with comparisons to the digital method.

The effect of locomotion speed on linear path integration performance in patients with peripheral vestibulopathy
Petříčková, Kristina ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Jaroslav (referee)
DIPLOMOVÁ PRÁCE 2017 Kristina Petříčková Abstract This diploma thesis is focused on the effect of peripheral vestibular dysfunction and locomotion speed on the ability to walk a straight path. Nineteen patients with chronic peripheral vestibular dysfunction and twenty healthy volunteers participated in this study. The angle deviation from 10 meters long straight path while walking with eyes closed was measured, using three locomotion speeds: slow, preferred and fast walking. Tandem gait with eyes opened and closed was also tested for maximum of 15 steps. There was no statistical difference between group of patients and the control group in any of the tested gait speeds. Within both groups, there was a significant difference between deviations in different gait speeds, specifically between slow and preferred speed and between slow and fast speed. There was a statistical difference in tandem gait between patients and controls when walking with eyes closed. It has been shown that locomotion speed effects magnitude of deviation in path integration task. However, slow walking with eyes closed did not quantitatively differ in chronic compensated patients and healthy subjects. Tandem gait has been proven to be more sensitive with overall obvious difference, although in individual tandem gait testing it is...

Trunk muscle activity and walkin
Svobodová, Jaroslava ; Opálková, Michaela (advisor) ; Davídek, Pavel (referee)
Bakalářská práce Aktivita trupového svalstva při chůzi Abstract This thesis refers to the anatomy and the kinesiology of trunk, spine and pelvis. In addition, it deals with the control of gait and gait biomechanics. Nevertheless, the main aim of this thesis is to summarize the information on the activity of trunk muscles during walking. This includes also trunk muscle activity during modified walking. This part reviews the changes of trunk muscle activity in reaction to low back pain and to the changes in walking speed. Thesis is focused on the activity of abdominal and back muscles such as m. rectus abdominis, m. obliguus externus abdominis, m. obliguus internus abdominis, m. transversus abdominis and m. erector trunci. The thesis also includes a case study of a patient who suffers from chronic low back pain. The activity of some of her trunk muscles was recorded by surface electromyography. In addition, the patient was tested using the zebris Rehawalk FDM-T system.
