Each examination consisted of a kinesiologic analysis, a plantography footprint, a foot X-ray, a pain evaluation (the numeric scale was used) and filling out a scoring scale questionnaire of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS). The changes of pain of the MTP or IP toe joint, the development of foot arch, changes of the toe valgus angle according to the X-rays and the overall score achieved in the AOFAS questionnaire were statistically evaluated. The ability to isolate toe abduction, right posture of the foot, stability of the axial joints and other changes were followed as well. After comparing the results the conclusion of the study is that the three-months physiotherapist-led program weaken the pain of MTP/IP toe joint, rise the score achieved in the AOFAS questionnaire, improve the foot posture and the overall...

Title: Quality of life of women with urinary stress incontinence Objectives: The aim of this thesis was to assess quality of life of women after conservative therapy and chirurgic therapy of urinary stress incontinence in Brno-město and Brno- venkov district. Methods: We did a questionnaire survey on quality of life by using a standardized questionnaire I-QoL (Urinary Incontinence Quality-of-life questionnaire). The questionnaire survey was conducted in patients after conservative or surgical therapy by TVT or TOT tape. Subjectively perceived quality of life of these patients after completion of the therapy was observed. The results were compared between the groups undergoing conservative and surgical therapy by TVT or TOT tape. Results: After the output assessment of quality of life of patients after the treatment, we found that there is a difference in the quality of life of patients treated conservatively and surgically by TVT or TOT tape. Patients treated surgically had higher quality of life than patients treated conservatively by 9%. We also found that there is a difference in the physical, mental and social scores of the groups. The respondents who were treated conservatively had lower score in all evaluated areas with the greatest difference in the physical area and the smallest difference...
