Possibility influencing of hypermobility old school childrens.

The topic of this bachelor's thesis is hypermobility. The theoretical part is dealing with hypermobility in general. On the other hand the practical part is focused on constitutional hypermobility affecting older school age children. The theoretical part describes the musculoskeletal system followed by a definition of hypermobility and hypermobility syndrome. Next section divides hypermobility into groups and is further dealing with examination and influencing hypermobility. The last section of the theoretical part is dedicated to viable physiotherapeutic methods and concepts which can be applied to treat hypermobile individuals. The aim of the theoretical part was to piece together a text that would manage to complexly summarize information about hypermobility. Both czech and english-written literary sources were used. The practical part focused on two hypermobile probands of older school age. It attempted to reduce the risk of the probands developing functional disorders in the future by selecting and applying appropriate therapy and education. Each of the two probands underwent eight individual therapies. Therapeutic methods of hypermobility syndrome treatment were used. The result was a notable improvement of overall condition of the probands. This was confirmed during final examination. It was also confirmed that hypermobility cannot be directly therapeutically influenced. Both probands agreed the therapy was beneficial and raised their awareness of hypermobility. Objectively speaking it is complicated to evaluate the end results. It would require a long-term research to obtain data proving the benefit of such therapy. This work could be followed up by researching whether preventive physiotherapeutical therapy of older school age children actually diminishes the risk of future development of functional disorders associated with hypermobility
