Bušek, Kamil ; Kejhová, Eva (advisor) ; Kajzar, Jiří (referee)
OF BACHELOR THESIS Author: Kamil Bušek Supervisor: Ing. Eva Kejhová Title of bachelor thesis: Comparison of physiotherapy approach with other conservative approaches in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis Abstract: This bachelor thesis is observing the differences in comparison of the physiotherapy approach with other conservative treatment options for lateral epicondylitis in acute and chronic conditions. The work is processed by the search method and consists of theoretical and special parts. The theoretical part deals with a description of anatomical structures, kinesiology, biomechanics and examination of the elbow joint as a whole. Other chapters are focused on the problematic of the lateral epicondylitis, which describe the etiology, clinical picture of acute and chronic forms, differential diagnosis, examination and treatment, where the emphasis is mainly on the conservative methods. The special part of this thesis is written on the basis of the results of literature research with the focus on finding the studies that are comparing a treatment of chronic and acute forms of the lateral epicondylitis. The thesis describes and compares the usuals physiotherapeutic methods such as mobilization, manipulation, eccentric and concentric exercises or kinesiotaping, as well as frequently used...

Prevalence of forearm musculoskeletal overload among recreational and competitive tennis players in the Czech Republic
Popelka, Štěpán ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Stupková, Michaela (referee)
Title: Prevalence of forearm musculoskeletal overload among recreational and competitive tennis players in the Czech Republic Objectives: The aim of this diploma thesis is to find out how often the overload of the musculoskeletal system occurs among Czech competitive and recreational tennis players Methods: The chapter "Theoretical background" sums up the information about tennis and overloading the musculoskeletal system of the forearm. The form was a search of domestic and foreign literature. The practical part was conducted in the form of quantitative research - more specifically in the form of descriptive analysis. The data were obtained through a non- standardized questionnaire, which was distributed to tennis players in the Czech Republic. The completion of the questionnaire was completely anonymous. Subsequently, the obtained data were processed using descriptive statistics in Microsoft Excel program. The SPSS program was used to verify hypotheses, research questions, and general relationships between the various variables. A value of p ≤ 0.05 was chosen for the level of significance. The strength of the relationship between the examined variables was evaluated using Cramer's V. Results: A total of 321 probands participated in the questionnaire survey (n = 321). The results showed that the...

The objectification of using of kinesio taping to influence a muscle tone in epicondylitis
Rosenmüllerová, Lenka ; Šifta, Petr (advisor) ; Nováková, Pavlína (referee)
Title The objectification of using of kinesio taping to influence a muscle tone in epicondylitis. Objectives The aim of this master thesis is to find an effect of inhibitive kinesiotape application to muscle tone of hypertonic m. extensor digitorum communis and to pain of lateral epicondyl in lateral epicondylitis. Method The master thesis is divided to theoretical part and empirical research, which is based on the first part. The evaluation of m. extensor digitorum communis tension after kinesiotape application is provided by myotonometry method. The measurement is performed in 5 tested persons before and after two-day kinesio tape application. The questionaire Numeric pain rating scale helps to find a change of pain before and after kinesio tape application and then the dependence of pain to muscle tone change. Results The myotonometer measurement found a decrease of m. extensor digitorum communis tension for 4 from 5 tested persons after two-day application. The pain of lateral epicondyl was reduced for all probands. Keywords lateral epicondylitis, tennis elbow, muscle tone, kinesio taping, myotonometer

The use of a shock wave in the physiotherapy
NOVÁK, Jan
Except a few scientific studies there is not yet enough available literature, written in Czech language, which would summarize theoretical information on the effects of shock wave therapy. In my thesis I tried to clarify physical conditions associated with emergence and specific spread of shock waves in various media and other physical principles which explain behavior and effects of shock waves passing through different types of tissues. From the results of expert studies and articles I made a survey of the most common possibilities of use of shock waves in medicine - especially in physiotherapy. In the practical part I evaluate the effects and course of shockwave therapy in three randomly selected patients diagnosed with epicondylitis radialis humeri (tennis elbow). Patients were treated by a series of applications of radial shock waves, when one session amounted to 1500 - 2000 shocks of varying frequency of 4-21 Hz and the pneumatic pressure of 2 - 3.2 bar. The results show that the patient may respond differently to shockwave therapy. Due to the fact that in a relatively small research sample quite disparate results have been recorded - the first patient significantly improved, the second improved slightly and the third got worse on the contrary - we can better understand the diversity of opinions of the professional public on the meaningfulness of the shock waves use in orthopedic diagnoses. For the practical part the method of qualitative research was chosen. Interview techniques, observations, case reports, data analysis and research were used. The research was conducted in the rehabilitation centre OLMA R + in České Budějovice and Rehabilitation Department of Polyclinic South MEDIPONT Ltd. in the time period from January to April 2012.

Physiotherapy and treatment of elbow enthesopathy
MRÁZKOVÁ, Lucie
The topic of my work with the name ?Physiotherapy and Treatment of Enthesopathy in the Ulnar Joint? is very current at present. A large part of the population suffers from it, in the consequence of excessive loading. Very often the first symptoms, which could prevent the problems, are not taken into account. It often starts after single hard work (computer typing, wood chopping, etc.), and that acute form very often changes into a chronic form. The treatment of such problems is usually very protracted. The choice of the treatment is difficult as well and no method of a correct procedure of therapy has been described yet, because each individual reacts in a different way. It is not possible to estimate how long it will take, before the everyday activities could be resumed. As the aim in the theoretical part of my work I chose to study and apply the current available information from various resources and thus create an educational material about the application of suitable treatment. The basic anatomy of ulnar joint, kinesiology, the most often factors and reasons of the origin are described there. Further there were special methods of examination and a clinical picture, therapy and prevention against the problems. For the practical part I chose a method of a qualitative research. Three cases of patients, who were treated by MUDr. Kunovsky in Tabor and who underwent physiotherapy there, have been studied and dealt with. The research was carried out by means of observation, anamnesis and discussions during the treatment, the documentation of the patients and special examination methods. The treatment methods I have focused on were mobilization, technique of soft tissues, pro-prioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, physiotherapy and taping technique. Some forms of applications had a positive effect on the patients and brought improvement, the others showed no changes. In my opinion the individual elements should be combined and applied for a longer period of time and the anamnesis of the patient should be thoroughly discussed, to find out the main reasons of the origin. The patients learned a procedure during the therapy how to face correctly the origin of that problem and how to apply efficiently the preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of the problems. My work could be used for the purpose of studies of future physiotherapists, for the patients, or a source of information for public.
