Education of mothers in the care of a child with cerebral palsy
KURÁŽOVÁ, Natálie
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of cerebral palsy and education of mothers in the care of children with this disease. The thesis focuses on the perception of the child's needs from the perspective of mothers and nurses, as well as the educational process that is carried out between the mother of a child with CP and the nurse who educates. The aim of the thesis was to find out how mothers and nurses perceive the needs of children with cerebral palsy and how the mother's education process takes place in the care of this specific child patient. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part describes the disease of cerebral palsy including definition, causes, diagnosis, forms, classification and treatment. Next, the ideal education by the nurse and the needs of the child are described. The practical part includes results obtained through semi-structured interviews with nurses and mothers of children with CP, recorded with a dictaphone on a mobile device and then transcribed for later analysis and categorization. Six categories were identified through categorisation: child's needs from the nurse's perspective, maternal education, communication of diagnosis, child's needs from the mother's perspective, education by the nurse and support for families of children with CP. The categories were then converted into diagrams. A total of six mothers of children with CP and six nurses who had already met children with CP participated in the research process. The results of the research revealed that the mothers' and nurses' perspectives on sufficient education differed. Mothers want individually tailored education even in post-hospitalization care, while nurses consider it sufficient to provide information related only to the current problem with which the child is hospitalized. Therefore, this work is an excellent basis to complement the studies of future paediatric nurses. The work serves to prevent negative experiences of mothers during the period of hospitalization with their child caused by ineffective and lack of education.

Possibilities of hippotherapy in spasticity therapy in children with cerebral palsy
VOLŠINSKÁ, Monika
This bachelor's thesis discusses the possibilities of hiporehabilitation of spastic paresis of lower limbs in children with cerebral palsy. In clinical practice, they are used for therapy concepts on a neurophysiological basis. The main methods are Vojtova reflexive therapy and the Bobath concept, which are irreplaceable for the rehabilitation treatment of DMO. In this work I focus on complementary therapy in the form of hiporehabilitation. This method uses repetitive, rhythmic and regular stimuli for the central nervous system. Summation stimuli subsequently plasticity of the brain and helps for greater effectiveness of the treatment. The theoretical part is focused on the issue of cerebral palsy. Introducing definition, causes and symptoms including central nervous system involvement system, which is manifested by increased muscle tension. Thesis therefore also describes origin and manifestations of spasticity and the scale that evaluates spasticity. Spasticity can be controlled by hiporehabilitation, which I introduce in detail in the theoretical part of my work. Methodical part describes the data collection procedures that are used for research. The practical part proceeds in the form of qualitative research of a case study in which two probands participated and were diagnosed with a spastic form of cerebral palsy. An input and output kinesiology analysis was performed for individual probands, which includes anamnesis, physical examination of aspects and palpation, goniometry, walking tests-TUG, 2MWT and 10MWT. The modified Ashworth scale was used to evaluate the spread of spasticity. The entire research took place during a one-week hiporehabilitation stay. The results of therapy were used to compare input and output kinesiology analysis, which shows a positive trends in the effect of the therapy. Both probands showed a slight improvement in stability and posture, walking speed and regularity. Positive influence on spasticity was reflected by a change in pelvic position and a slight increase in the range of motion of the lower limbs. Hiporehabilitation alleviated the symptoms of muscle hyperactivity and therefore represents an opportunity to extend physiotherapy in children with cerebral palsy.

Barriers and facilitators of sport activities in adults with congenital physical disabilities: A Systematic Review
Šašek, Vít ; Daďová, Klára (advisor) ; Vařeková, Jitka (referee)
Title: Barriers and facilitators of sport activities in adults with congenital physical disabilities: A Systematic Review Background: Globally, there are over a billion individuals with disabilities in the world. Those individuals may have one or more physical attributes affected by their condition, restricting their access to sports, fitness activities, and physical tasks related to work or household activities. The lack of exercise poses a significant public health concern and may hinder undisputed benefits for physical and psychological of individual well-being. Objectives: The main objective of this thesis was to systematically review available research sources on sport and physical activity participation among adults with congenital disabilities and to identify the barriers and facilitators for such individuals to participate in physical activities and para sport. Methods: Four databases - Medline, PubMed, ERIC and Sportsdiscus were searched using terms: exercise; para sport, training, physical activity, continuous exercise, and the range of congenital disabilities. We employed a blend of MeSH terms specific to the database, free-form text, wildcard characters (employing '*' to truncate words), and Boolean operators ('AND', 'OR'). Only papers published from 2003 were included and the search...

Executive function in cerebral palsy and their implications for physiotherapy
Horníková, Dominika ; Javůrková, Alena (advisor) ; Vlček, Přemysl (referee)
Aim: The aim of this theoretical work is to gain an understanding of physiotherapy interventions that are effective on the executive function of children with cerebral palsy. Methodology: In a narrative review, we searched internet databases according to appropriate keywords to find studies dealing with our topic. Subsequently, the discovered studies had to meet our predefined inclusion criteria. We used MICROSOFT WORD and MICROSOFT EXCEL for this procedure. Results: Our findings are based on ten included studies consisting of three randomized controlled trials, three cross-sectional studies and four study protocols of randomized controlled trials. Some studies showed us a significant effect (p<0.05) of physiotherapy on executive function in children with cerebral palsy, where yoga, ballet modified for this diagnosis or intensive exercise were used in the intervention. In addition to their effectiveness on the executive functions we examined, these therapies also demonstrated an effect on improvement in reaching predetermined goals or walking. Conclusion: The effect of physiotherapy on executive function in children with cerebral palsy may seem like an undiscovered topic, but some of the studies we found used interventions that are effective on this investigated area. Keywords: children, cerebral...

Effectiveness of antispastic electrical stimulation in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy
Kurelová, Martina ; Demeková, Júlia (advisor) ; Havrda, Prokop (referee)
This thesis is focused on the issue of electrotherapy with an antispastic effect. Specifically, it deals with Hufschmidt currents and their effectiveness in reducing spasticity of the triceps surae muscle in patients with the spastic form of cerebral palsy (CP). The overview of theoretical findings includes information on cerebral palsy and spasticity, findings from new research on their frequency, diagnosis and treatment. In the last chapter of the theoretical part, findings on electrotherapy with antispastic effects in the Czech Republic and abroad are presented. In the practical part, a series of case studies of patients in whom the effect of Hufschmidt currents was examined is presented. The work was attended by 9 pediatric patients with a diagnosis of spastic CP, to whom Hufschmidt currents were applied a total of 6 times. The effectiveness of this type of currents is determined by performing a 10-meter walking test, Timed Up and Go test and examination of spasticity in 5 steps according to Gracies, and then comparing the numbers before and after the electrotherapy series. The result of this work was the confirmation of the positive effect of antispastic currents according to Hufschmidt on the reduction of muscle spasticity in 7 patients, on the acceleration of walking in the 10-meter walking...

Kuldová, Ivana ; Quittková, Adéla (advisor) ; Smetanová, Jana (referee)
This diploma thesis is a pilot study for research of deep fascia of children with spastic cerebral palsy. It focuses on designing a protocol for sonographic evaluation of a deep fascia thickness in children and verifying it in practice. The theoretical of the thesis introduces recent findings on the structure, thickness, development, and aging of the fascial system. It also contains facts about cerebral palsy - particularly its spastic form and its influence on muscle tissue morphology. Additionally, it describes the principle of musculoskeletal ultrasound examination, with a target on the fascial system and muscle tissue. Methodology: The observational cross-sectional study included 39 children (25 boys and 14 girls). The children were divided by age into four groups: 0-3 years, 3-6 years, 6-12 years, and 12-18 years. The thickness was sonographically measured with highfrequency probe on the fascia brachii anterior and posterior, the fascia antebrachii anterior and posterior, the fascia cruris anterior and posterior and the fascia lata. Results: Based on the collected data, a low positive correlation was found between the thickness of the deep fascia in children and age (p=0,042; Spearman's rho 0,09). There was no influence of limb dominance on the thickness of the deep fascia (p=0,856) and either...
