Title: Psychosomatic in vertebrogenic disease Objectives: The aim of this master thesis is to determine common features of vertebrogenic disease in conection with psychosomatics using literary research, and to describe the treatement options for this disease used in literal sources. The first searched common feature is the most common localization of pain. Other searched common feature is the prevalence of gender and age. The last searched common feature is treatement option for psychosomatic vertebrogenic disease according to specialised literature. Methods: This master thesis is designed in a form of literary research. All studies and articles presented in this thesis were searched according to the following criteria: search in Czech or English language, search in electronic databases of Bibliographia Medica Čechoslovaca (BMČ), Medline (OIVID), PubMed and Google Scholar. The following keywords were used for the search: Psychosomatika, vertebrogenní onemocnění, bolest zad, deprese, úzkost, stres, bederní páteř, hrudní páteř, krční páteř, psychosomatická onemocnění a bolest zad, Psychosomatics, vertebrogenic diseases, back pain, depression, anxiety, stress, lumbar spine, thoracic spine, cervical spine, psychosomatic disorders and back pain.

Different psychosocial factors influence the experience and adaptation to pain. Previous cluster analytic studies using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2nd edition described psychologically different subgroups of pain patients that had been shown valuable in determining outcome. However, these studies had limited applicability to medico-legal pain populations because they did not use newly developed scales or describe important medico-legal factors that have large effects on symptom endorsement. Using three methods of clustering, the current investigation explored the subgroups that resulted when using all the MMPI-2 and the newly developed MMPI-2-RF (Restructured Form) scales on a large and well-described population of medico-legal spine pain patients. Result demonstrated that the best solution for the current sample was the two-cluster solution when a traditional method was used. However, the best solution was the three-cluster solution when all MMPI-2 scales and a method that used all MMPI-2-RF scales were used. Thus, the three-cluster solution was considered the most adequate solution to differentiate patients in medico-legal settings. Moreover, results demonstrated that subgroup membership was not conditioned to spine related organic factors. Instead, malingering, education, ethnic background and legal status differentiated pain subgroups. Lastly, results demonstrated a dose-response relationship between perceived outcome and subgroup profile elevation. The current results are relevant for understanding the circumstances that can influence spine pain recovery and for informing decisions regarding possible interventions.

XXI amžiuje skausmas yra rimta problema. Vis daugiau jaunų žmonių skundžiasi nugaros skausmais. Nugaros skausmai dėl mažo fizinio aktyvumo, netaisyklingos laikysenos yra viena labiausiai paplitusių ligų. Iškėlėm hipotezę, kad pratimai vandenyje pagerins vaikų stuburo paslankumą ir laikyseną. Tyrimas buvo atliktas LKKA baseine. Tyrime dalyvavo 12 vaikų, iš jų 10 berniukų ir 2 mergaitės. Tiriamųjų amžiaus vidurkis buvo 10,88 ± 2,10 metų, svorio - 46,2 ± 1,54 kg, ūgio vidurkis 156,9 ± 2,04 cm. Tiriamiesiems 8 mėnesius 2 kartus per savaitę po 1 valandą buvo taikoma KT vandenyje. KT pagrindą sudarė tempimo, atsipalaidavimo, liemens raumenų pratimai bei pratimai laikysenai gerinti. Buvo vertinama tiriamųjų laikysena, stuburo paslankumas, liemens raumenų statinė ištvermė bei gyvensenos ypatumai. Visi minėti rodikliai registruoti 3 kartus ( KT pradžioje, KT viduryje ir KT pabaigoje). Darbo tikslas – nustatyti vaikų, kuriems buvo taikyta KT vandenyje, stuburo paslankumo, raumenų ištvermės ir laikysenos pokyčius. Iškelti uždaviniai: nustatyti ir palyginti vaikų liemens raumenų ištvermę, stuburo paslankumą, laikyseną prieš ir po kineziterapijos vandenyje, bei nustatyti ir įvertinti vaikų gyvensenos ypatumus. Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad pratimai vandenyje patikimai (p<0,05) padidino liemens raumenų (pilvo, nugaros, kairės bei dešinės pusės) ištvermę, stuburo paslankumą, pagerino pečių, liemens ir pilvo laikyseną. Taip pat nustatėme, jog vaikų fizinis aktyvumas nėra pakankamas, nes... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / Pain is a very serious problem in the 21st century. More and more young people complain of backache. Because of reducing amount of physical activities, incorrect posture, backache is one of the most common diseases. A hipothesy is that exercises in water will improve spine flexibility and children posture will improve as well. A research was made in LKKA swimming pool. 12 children – 10 boys and 2 girls – took part in this research. The average age of those who were researched was 10,88 ± 2,10 years, the average weight 46,2 ± 1,54 kg and height 156,9 ± 2,04 cm. They were in physiotherapy in water for 8 months 1 hour twise a week. Aquatic therapy consisted of posture, stretch, relaxing exercises and exercises for waist muscles. Posture, spine flexibility, waist muscles static endurance and particularities of lifestyle of the researched people was evaluated. All indicators are mentioned three times (in the beginning, in the middle and at the end of physiotherapy in water). The purpose is to find spine flexibility, muscle endurance and posture changes of kids who were in physiotherapy in water. Targets: to measure and assess children‘s trunk muscle endurance, back mobility and posture before and after aquatic therapy; to assess the lifestyle of the participants. The research results showed that exercises in the water increased waist muscles (stomach, back, left and right side) endurance, spine flexibility, improved shoulder, waist and stomach posture. Moreover, we realised that... [to full text]

Title: Kinesiophobia, her predictors and consequences in selected chronic diseases - theoretical review Objectives: To review the issue of the occurrence of kinesophobia in various chronic diseases and to identify its predictors. Methods: The diploma thesis was prepared in the form of a literature search using electronic resources of the National Medical Library, the Central Physical Education Library and professional databases Pubmed, EBSCO, SCORPUS, Medline, Web of Science. The first half of the work summarized all the theoretical background and knowledge of kinesophobia and selected chronic diseases. The second half was focused on the processing of the issue of kinesophobia in selected chronic diseases and on the mapping of their predictors. Results: Based on the processing of available resources dealing with the issue of kinesophobia in selected chronic diseases, a comprehensive overview was created. In patients with chronic low back pain, high levels of kinesophobia were most often associated with chronic pain, functional impairment associated with the disease, obesity, low levels of education, and emotional states (anxiety, depression). In coronary heart disease, high levels of kinesophobia were associated with a lack of understanding of the need for physical activity, social support,...
