Možnosti fyzioterapie u syndromu panické ataky
MAŠEJA, David
The bachelor's thesis deals with the possibilities of physiotherapy in the context of panic attack syndrome or panic anxiety disorder. In the introduction of the theoretical part I dealt with the issue of anxiety disorders, specifically panic anxiety disorder. I tried to give the reader an overview of the characteristics, clinical course and treatment of the disorder. I also discussed studies that dealt with the possible relationship between postural and psychological state of the individual. The following part of the theoretical section is devoted to the anatomy of the spine and thorax, where I also described the pathologies I encountered and focused on during my therapy with patients. The aim of this thesis is to map postural disorders in individuals suffering from panic anxiety disorder and to propose a therapy aimed at eliminating these disorders. The research population consisted of three participants aged 21-26 years who were diagnosed with panic anxiety disorder. They were two males and one female. Seven sessions were conducted with each participant over a two-week period. In the first therapy, I conducted an initial assessment that included a kinesiological analysis. The first therapy also included an interview with the patients about the course of panic anxiety disorder. I tried to map the postural disorders that I would like to focus on in the following therapies. Each therapy I tried to influence these disorders primarily through manipulative treatment, with each proband having individually designed exercises to influence the musculoskeletal system. During the therapies, I discussed the psychological state with the probands and asked about changes in the course of the anxiety disorder. In the final session, I conducted an exit examination and recommended probands to continue the assigned exercises. The assessment was done by comparing the initial and exit examinations and using a visual analogue scale that was presented to the participants at the first and last therapy sessions. This bachelor thesis can serve as an inspiration and source of information for further research that deals with the influence of physiotherapy on the course of anxiety disorders.

The effect of therapeutic intervention on the functionality of ankle joint in long jumpers
ZÁHOROVÁ, Adéla
This bachelor's thesis deals with the effect of therapeutic intervention on the functionality of the ankle joint in long jumpers. The work consists of two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part first describes the anatomy of the ankle joint and the description of the myofascial structures of the ankle joint. Furthermore, the biomechanics of ankle joint movement are summarized here, and then the long jump itself and the training process of jumpers are described. At the end of the theoretical part, the concept of Movement Assessment Technologies (M.A.T), which was used for functional testing, is described. The practical part consists of qualitative type research. The research group consisted of 3 probands aged 18-22, who already specialize exclusively in the long jump. Therapies took place individually for two months at regular intervals. All probands completed their regular training schedule without restriction during the study. I used the technique of interview, aspect, palpation and testing to obtain data. The objectives of the work were twofold. The first goal was to propose a physiotherapeutic procedure suitable for improving the functionality of the ankle joint in long jumpers. The second goal was the proposal to implement the suggested physiotherapy of the ankle joint into the athlete's training process. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the goals of the bachelor's thesis were met. I proved that the proposed therapy is suitable for improving the function of the ankle joint and it is realistic to add it to the training process of an athlete.

Possibilities of Physiotherapy for Irish Dancers
MIKEŠOVÁ, Nikola
This bachelor thesis explores the possibilities of physiotherapy for Irish dancers. Irish dance is a folkloric dance originating from Ireland. It has developed into a competitive sport where there is a strong emphasis on technical dance execution and posture (Wallace, 2020). The dance is performed on tiptoe in shoes with minimal support. Typically, there is rapid alternation of the lower limbs and high lunges with impact on the extended lower limb in plantar flexion. Starting dance positions with the right lower limb extended in front of the body and the weight on the left lower limb place high demands on the dancers' musculoskeletal system, putting them at risk of injury (Buck, 2012). The first aim of this research was to describe musculoskeletal difficulties of Irish dancers. The second aim was to design compensatory exercises based on the described difficulties and the third aim was to evaluate the results of the applied compensatory exercises on the musculoskeletal system of Irish dancers. The theoretical part summarizes the history of Irish dance, Irish dance music, types of dance and dance shoes. The specifics of Irish dance, the most common injuries of Irish dancers, and the ideal structure of dance training are described. Methods that can be used in therapy are also mentioned. The practical part took the form of qualitative research with 3 probands, non-professional Irish dancers. The results are presented in the form of case studies, where an initial kinesiological examination was performed on all probands and therapy was proposed, which took the form of 8 individual therapies and home self-therapy for 3 months. Subsequently, an exit kinesiological examination was performed and the results of the research were evaluated by comparison with the entry kinesiological examination. It was found that the most problematic parts of the Irish dancers were weakened hip stabilizers, insufficient trunk stabilization, insufficient activation of the foot muscles and weakened lower scapular fixators. The thesis can be used as an informative and educational material for dancers and trainers of Irish dance, or for the public interested in this issue.

Vliv fyzioterapie na rozvoj jemné motoriky ruky u pacientů s revmatoidní artritidou
MACHYNIAKOVÁ, Šárka
The subject of this thesis is mainly description of rheumatoid arthritis and physiotherapeutic possibilities of precisely developing hand motoring. The first objective was to describe the current possibilities of physiotherapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which were appropriately applied based on individual kinesiological analyses. Second goal was to build an effective exercise unit for developing fine motor skills in the hands area, based on objective and subjective information obtained from probands at the time of the research. This thesis is divided into two parts. The first theoretical part described the disease itself, epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical picture, elemental examination diagnosis, and detailed description of known types of therapy. Finally, I briefly described the anatomy and kinesiology of the upper limb plait. The second practical part I processed in the form of qualitative research. The research sample contained one man and two women aged 79 to 89. For all probands, I performed an initial kinesiological analysis, grip evaluation, and testing according to Jebsen - Taylor test. Based on the information gathered, I have set short-term goals and chosen appropriate physiotherapy methods to achieve these set goals. The practical part took place over three months. During this time, I visited patients once a week and adjusted the therapy as necessary. Finally, I performed an output kinesiological analysis, the results of which I compared with the input kinesiological analysis and performed an evaluation. Probands were advised to continue therapy by fulfilling the goals of the long-term rehabilitation plan. The information found indicates that regular therapy with appropriate exercise has a positive effect especially on increasing shoulder joint ranges, improving hand handling, pain relief, and overall psychological improvement of probands. This thesis can be used as educational material for healthcare professionals, medical students, the public, and especially for the sick or their loved ones.

Use of electrostimulation according to Jantsche and Hufschmidt to influence triceps surae muscle spasticity and walking speed in patients with multiple sclerosis
Tichá, Simona ; Demeková, Júlia (advisor) ; Hojková, Klára (referee)
This thesis focuses on comparing the effectiveness of two types of electrostimulations, specifically electrostimulation according to Hufschmidt and Jantsche, in reducing m. triceps surae spasticity and influencing walking speed in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of the thesis is to determine which type of electrostimulation is more suitable for patients with MS. The topic was chosen based on two previous theses that examined the effects of these electrostimulations individually. The theoretical part provides basic information about MS, explains the pathophysiology of spasticity and the possible influence of spinal mechanisms on it, describes the examination of spastic patients, and summarizes the possibilities of electrotherapy treatment. The practical part compares the effects of both types of electrostimulations in patients with MS who were partially randomly divided into two groups of three and evaluates short-term and long-term results using the "Five step clinical assessment in spastic paresis" examination and the subjective perception of walking questionnaire MSWS-12 (Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale). The results of the thesis do not show significant differences in the effects of both electrostimulations. The most significant improvements in both groups were observed in the...
