Pokorný, Jan ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Reckziegelová, Petra (referee)
Title: The influence of the dance movement therapy on psychomotor symptoms of Parkinson's disease patients Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the effects of dance movement therapy on postural instability and other motor and non-motor symptomatology of patients with Parkinson's disease. Changes are evaluated by using MDS-UPDRS and Computerized Dynamic Posturography (NeuroCom Smart EquiTest System). Another goal is to provide comprehensive information about dance movement therapy and other dance therapies promoted abroad and to highlight a possibility of their use as a non-pharmacological treatment of Parkinson's disease symptoms. Methods: This pilot study involved eight late onset Parkinson's disease patients at an average age of 68,87±6,69 years. Changes in their postural stability and motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease were evaluated after the completion of two months of intensive dance movement therapy. Observed parameters were evaluated by using MDS- UPDRS and the Computerized Dynamic Posturography Smart EquiTest System created by the NeuroCom company, before and after the therapeutic programme. For effective assessment of the therapy, statistical methods (the Student's paired t-test and the Wilcoxon rank sum test) were used along with the rate of clinical...

Possibility od Dyadic Relationship Development in Partner Dance
Lauterbachová, Aneta ; Šípek, Jiří (advisor) ; Uhlář, Pavel (referee)
This thesis deals with the possibility of dyadic relationships development through the partner dance. It incorporates both the individual and group dance specifics, and it is an encounter of two indivi- duals on both body and psychological level. As a partner dances representative is chosen the Argen- tine Tango - it is especially suitable for a therapy for its key characteristics and therefore represents a huge part in a field of psychological application of partner dance. It is a dance of two individuals who - in a mutual embrace and spontaneous improvised movement - are becoming one. The dyadic moment of the partner dance (including above all mutual communication, intimacy, roles and heading towards unity) represents a parallel to the dya- dic relationship in general. The thesis is looking into the history of dance in order to remind the importance of dancing in the human life. It deals with Argentine Tango key aspects for possible dyadic relationship development, maps the research support of this subject and introduces the reader to its psychotherapeutic application. On this field examination basis a quantitative-qualitative study is proposed, which would verify and survey the effect of Argentine Tango dancing (in comparison to other partner dances) in dyadic relationships.

Influence of oriental dance on social relations
RYKALOVÁ, Jiřina
People meet people all the time, and in thus meeting they influence each other. Major importance can be attributed to informal relationships like friendship and love, since these are typical of spontaneity, free communication, flexibility of roles and similar features. Each individual is greatly affected by the family that he or she was born into as well as the family he or she established. Marriage is an institutional basis of a family, while the family is the hub of social relations. Economic, social, mental and health conditions of individuals and families stem from their work activities. Unemployment affects the family; living standards; the structure and perception of time; and the health of body and mind. All social relationships have communication built in them. Communication can not only describe the relationship as it exists, it can also change and modify it. That is why it is important to stick to sound principles of communication, whose integral part is the ability to listen. Factors impacting on interpersonal relations cover also stress. In case the burden inflicted by stress is tolerable, it may even be invigorating. If the burden, however, is greater than what we can endure, the effect is detrimental. Consequently, stress should be precluded. One method of precluding and alleviating stress rests in what is termed the dance movement therapy. An option available to exercise body, mind and soul is the oriental dance. In pursuing physical activities we exercise not only our moving faculties but also cultivate interpersonal relationships. Such a system of activities and relations can be designated as an active way of life.
