Change in Blood Flow in the Paravertebral Muscles during the Application of Compression Therapy
Jandera, Tomáš ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Vláčilová, Ivana (referee)
Title: A Change in Blood Flow in the Paravertebral Muscles during the Application of Compression Therapy Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the effect of compression therapy on the blood supply to the paravertebral muscles when applying flossing tape around the trunk. The second aim is to theoretically introduce the compression methods used in practice to the readers. Methods: The study involved 33 probands who completed a questionnaire to obtain basic anamnestic information before the measurement. Furthermore, the range of motion of the lumbar spine was examined into flexion using a modified Schober distance and the electrode of the Précisé 8008 device was placed on the right paravertebral muscles at approximately the level of the Th/L transition to determine blood flow. Flossing tape was applied for 2 minutes around the trunk at the lumbar spine. After removal of the tape, the range of motion of the lumbar spine into flexion was measured again. The obtained data were processed by using descriptive statistics, paired T-test and linear model. The statistical significance for all T-tests was assessed at a critical significance level of 0.05. Results: Changes in the blood flow of the paravertebral muscles during and after the application of flossing have been proven....
Change in blood flow to m. biceps femoris when applying compression therapy
Králová, Petra ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Maršáková, Kateřina (referee)
Title: Change in blood flow to m. biceps femoris when applying compression therapy Objectives: The primary objective of this thesis is to investigate the changes in blood flow to m. biceps femoris when applying tissue flossing technique. Another objective is to evaluate the changes in ischiocrural muscle flexibility before and after applying this technique. Methods: There are 33 healthy participants (20 women, 13 men) between the ages of 18 and 35 (mean age: 24,06 ±2,21) who took part in the experimental research. The initial test evaluated the flexibility of the ischiocrural muscles flexibility of the right lower limb (RLL), followed by the application of tissue flossing for 90 seconds on the right thigh. After releasing the flossband, a control test was performed to evaluate the flexibility of the ischiocrural muscles of the RLL. The elavulation of the change in blood flow was assessed using the Medicap Précisé 8008 device, and the change of the ischiocrural muscles flexibility was measured by the size of the Black's popliteal angle. The data obtained were processed using the mathematical software R. For the data analysis descriptive statistics were used and a paired t-test was used to determine statistical significance at a significance level of 0,05. Results: Significant changes in blood flow...
