Comparison of static and dynamic stability after induction of vestibular stimulation in ice hockey players and healthy population
Kasala, Lukáš ; Levínská, Kateřina (advisor) ; Čakrt, Ondřej (referee)
In this study we found out whether professional ice hockey players have better static and dynamic stability after vestibular stimulation after 20 seconds of spinning on a rotary chair compared to normal healthy population. A total of 21 probands, 8 professional men players, 1 professional woman player and 12 men from the ordinary healthy population underwent testing. Probands passed a total of 8 tests, 4 tests without vestibular stimulation and the same tests after vestibular stimulation on a rotary chair. For testing on a stabilometric platform, we used the variants parallel stance barefoot on plate, parallel stance on a foam pad, parallel stance barefoot on plate with head movement to extension, parallel stance on a foam pad with head movement to extension. The rotation time on the chair was 20 seconds at a rate of approximately 1 Hz (20 turns ± 2), followed by a stability measurement time of 30 seconds. Our measured results showed that there is not signifficant difference in static and dynamic stability between ice hockey players and healthy population after induction of vestibular stimulation.

Basal stimulation and its application as children with disabilities
VOPÁLKOVÁ, Ludmila
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of basal stimulation and its application as a handicapped children support. The main aim is to find out how the concept of basal stimulation is being processed in the Centre BAZALKA, o. p. s. in taking care of handicapped children and what contributions have been reached by use of basal stimulation. The theoretical part deals with disability. Furthermore, the concept of basal stimulation is defined, the history and the development of the concept in the Czech republic is described, and the central goals of the concept of basal stimulation are presented. Subsequently the basic elements of basal stimulation are described detailed. In next part the particular ways of the application of this concept are stated. In the practical part, the author focuses on the research of the use of the concept of basal stimulation in the BAZALKA Center, o. p. s. The method of qualitative research conducted in the form of semi-standardized interviews is applied. The ascertained data were further sorted by the open encoding method, then the discussion was executed and partial conclusions on individual thematic areas of research were drawn. The key conclusions of the research relevant to given research issues include the finding that basal stimulation is relatively frequently used in this facility. For its high quality implementation, a highly personalized approach to the client is required. Besides the adequate time capacity, the expertise and experience of the therapist, the knowledge of specific methods and the ability to combine these methods within a limited time is highly needed. It is precisely the lack of time and the problematic or absent feedback from the client that have been identified as the main barrier limiting the therapeutists to provide the more individualized care that could allow the full use of basal stimulation methods and maximalize the benefit for the client.

Effectivness of vestibular stimulation in patients with postural stability disorder
Ševčíková, Lucie ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Bitnar, Petr (referee)
The diploma thesis summarizes physiology of vestibular system and disorders of vestibular system. In experimental part we observe the influence of vestibular stimulation on static postural stability. We achieve vestibular stimulation by active and repeated head and body movements. We measure the lenght of COP trajectory using stabilometry. We tested two groups of persons, 20 healthy persons aged 21 - 49 years and 6 patients with postural stability disorder from vestibular origin aged 40 - 76 years. The changes in lenght of trajectory COP after vestibular stimulation were not statistically significant in any group, but for each patient, there was a change in lenght of trajectory of COP. In patients, who have peripheral vestibular disorder, there was a reduction in lenght of trajectory of COP. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
