Feedback for active hand prosthesis
Trajlinek, Jan ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Harabiš, Vratislav (advisor)
This thesis deals with the solution for feedback of active prostheses to ensure that it is as similar as possible to the biological somatosensory system, and at the same time to prevent any limitations to the patient and provide the patient with as much useful information about the sensual touch as possible. With regard to these factors, the system for the detection of forces acting on the limb and the subsequent transmission of this signal to the user´s limb is proposed. This system is designed particularly for an already constructed prosthesis manufactured by Ing. Štěpán Brázdil within the diploma thesis from 2020. The thesis describes the biological response, on which all substitutive and artificial responses are based on. The thesis then further describes these substitutive and artificial responses and aims to find solution, how the biological response can be more or less replaced.

Effect of whole body vibration therapy on postural stability in Charcote-Marie-Tooth.
Jindrová, Barbora ; Pospíšilová, Mariana (advisor) ; Vinciková, Lenka (referee)
Objective: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy. Genetic mutation causes neurological disorder of peripheral nervous system. Diseases most common signs and symptoms are distal muscle weakness, foot deformities and somatosensory defect. One of the most notable consequences of the disease is balance disorder. The goal of this study was to ascertain impact of one-off application of vibration therapy on postural stability in CMT and referential group. Method: There were 16 patients diagnosed with CMT that participated in the research, 15 of which finished all procedures (average age 44.3 years, age ranges from 25 to 57 years, 12 woman and 3 men). Referential group was composed of healthy people of similar sex and age. All probands underwent measuring on Balance Master before vibration therapy, immediately after and 30 minutes later. The therapy take place in standing position in the Power Plate, therapy lasted for 5 minutes. Results: A significant improvement of Endpoint Excursion, Maximum Excursion, Movement Velocity and Sway velocity parameters was established after applying one-off vibration therapy in group of patients diagnosed with CMT. This effect endured 30 min after vibration therapy. Also we discovered that vibration therapy has stronger...

Effect of foam rolling on mechano-nociceptive and vibrational sensation.
Novotná, Eliška ; Čech, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Demeková, Júlia (referee)
The thesis deals with the evaluation of the influence of foam rolling on selected parameters of somatosensory perception (pressure-algic threshold, vibrotactile sensation). The theoretical part discusses fascial tissue, summarizes the current knowledge of foam rolling and focuses on the mechanisms of pain and vibrotactile sensation. The research part consists of a randomized blind study on a group of 15 healthy probands (11 women, 4 men), which evaluates the effect of foam rolling. The effect is objectivized by pressure algometry and vibrametry on the m. rectus femoris and m. biceps femoris of both lower limbs (measured before and after therapy). The value of the pressure pain threshold (PPT) increased after foam rolling. Vibrotactile threshold (VT) was lower after foam rolling than before its use, which means that vibrotactile sensitivity was increased. The results show that these changes do not occur only in the interventioned m. rectus femoris, but some changes in parameters can be found in other muscles as well. Keywords fascial tissues, foam rolling, pressure algometry, pressure pain treshold, PPT, vibrametry, somatosensory system, nociception, diffuse noxious inhibitory control, DNIC

3D analysis of immediate effect on posture of shoe with postural insoles based on Rašev and with proceptor insoles PodoAktiv
Koukalová, Martina ; Rašev, Eugen (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title: 3D analysis of immediate effect on posture of shoe with postural insoles based on Rašev and with proceptor insoles PodoAktiv® Objectives: The thesis aims to show the immediate effect of application of custom-made insole on postural hold of chosen body segments and we would like to determine whether it is possible to use PodoAktiv® or insole based on Rašev to correct body posture. Methodology: In this thesis we examined 9 participants who agreed joining the study. We used the Balance®4D device made by Paromed company. The selected body segments were marked by white spheric stickers. To compare postural hold of selected body segments we examined the participants in altogether 4 situations. Barefoot stand, stand in shoes without insoles, stand in shoes with postural insoles based on Rašev and stand in shoes with proceptor insoles PodoAktiv®. Results: The results of this study show that there is a slight immeadiate effect of the custom- made insoles on postural hold of body segments. Larger effect was observed in the participants who already had a bad postural barefoot hold. Of all 6 parameters, the biggest effect was observed in the shift of overall body axis after application of PodoAktiv® insoles. Keywords: Shoe insoles, proprioceptors, somatosensory system, 3D static analysis, postural hold

Hrušková, Adéla ; Zounková, Irena (advisor) ; Smolíková, Libuše (referee)
The aim of the work is to describe the somatosensory system function development in the context of postural- locomotion function in preschool age and to describe the possible assessment of this function in preschool children, on the basis of research. The theoretical chapters deal with the development of the somatosensory system and the postural- locomotion system, also with the physical development of the preschool child. The practical part presents the outcomes of the research, namely how the development and usage of somatosensory signals by central nervous system is influenced by growth of the preschool child's organism. Lastly, the work presents the possibilities how to assess the preschool child's somatosensory system in common physioterapeutic practice. A preschool child's case report is included.
