The theoretical part focuses on acquired brain damage, in this case cerebrovascular accidents, the neurological aspect of apraxia and then to a greater extent on the types of apraxia, evaluations and the possibilities of intervention. In the practical part, 3 goals are set. The main goal is to create a manual for working with patients with apraxia based on selected interventions mentioned in the theoretical part. Gesture training and strategy training appear to be the most used and effective interventions through the studies, which is why exactly these are...

Skrzypková, Eva ; Uhlířová, Jaromíra (advisor) ; Rejtarová, Anna (referee)
Title: Cooperation between Ocupational Therapist and Physiotherapist in the Training of Personal Activities of Daily Living with Patients with Cervical Spine Lesion Abstract: This thesis explores some aspects of collaboration between occupational therapist (OT) and physiotherapist (PT) in rehabilitation of patients with complete spine lesion in level C6-C8. This group of patients has the functional potential to cope with activities of daily living with the use of compensation aids and strategies in an adapted enviroment. To fulfil this potential intense intervention of OT and PT is needed. The goal of this thesis was to map this cooperation in training of self-sufficiency in daily tasks during subacute and chronic phase of rehabilitation. As a representative sample 3 institutions were chosen, where patiens are treated during the spinal program. These institutions are: Spinal Unit in Faculty Hospital Motol, Rehabilitation Centre Kladruby and NGO Centrum Paraple. Information gained through observation in the practical trainings in these institutions and data collected from the survey were systematically processed and offer a view of some aspects of interprofessional cooperation. In each institution, unique roles of the therapists were defined together with the area of their role overlap, extent of mutual...
