Objectification of Postural Stability by Patients with Musculoskeletal Disorders

This bachelor thesis consisting of the theoretical and practical part deals with physiotherapy after a rupture of an anterior cruciate ligament and its subsequent influence on postural stability. The first part of the theoretical thesis consists of explanation of term posture, its development, function and disorders and the second part of the theoretical thesis consists of the anatomy and knee joint kinesiology, information on anterior cruciate ligament injury, treatment possibilities and physiotherapy possibilities. The practical part is made by means of case history where the qualitative research is applied. It consists of initial kinesiological and posturographic examination, therapy suggestion, therapy implementation and final kinesiological and posturographic examination. The probands underwent the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament 6-8 months prior to the initial kinesiological examination by means of patellar autograft. Both probands suffered the injury when doing sport, namely skiing and football. I focused on a knee joint stabilisation by means of the DNS method, exercise with TRX Suspension Trainer and BOSU?, deep stabilisation system activation by means of the DNS method, the influencing of soft tissues and improving of afference of lower limbs by means of sensorimotor stimulation and PNF method. The therapy lasted for 8 weeks. Using the modern physiotherapeutical method resulted in eliminating basic, limiting limitations which are consequent upon the injury of the anterior cruciate ligament. We are able to confirm the improvement of the results of kinesiological and posturographic examination after the evaluation of the initial examination. The thesis may serve as an educational material for physiotherapy education and for non-professional public as well. Ke
