Promoting of self-sufficiency by hemiplegic patients after a brain stroke
JIRKŮ, Lenka
Nowadays, cerebral apoplexy is no longer a disease that only attacks elderly people, but increasingly, persons at a productive age. The consequences of this didease are diverse and vary according to the affected person, both in extent and severity. This is why this disease fundamentally changes the way of life of both the diseased and their families.The teoretical part of my bachelor thesis is focussed on the disease itself. The reader of this thesis will learn more about the nature and the substance of this disease. This thesis describes the types of cerebral apoplexy, the risk factors, the diagnosis and the methods of treatment. If further describes the princilpes of methods for nursing people suffering cerebral apoplexy,emphasising their self-suffuciency, rehabilitation a rehabilitation targets.The socond part of my bachelor thesis was research work. The applied method was based on a survey in which two types of questionnaries were deployed, one for respondents working in inpatient wards in medical facilities and one for respomdents working as home carers. This part focussed on acquiring information and discovering differences in providing support to hemiplegic patients after cerebral apoplexy to help them to becouse self-suffucient in personal hygiene and to collaborate wiht a physiotherapist, both in an inpatient ward and during home care. The result should contribute to better nursing care provided to patients after cerebral apoplexy.

Cerebrovascular Accident and Subsequent Resocialization
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Tereza
This thesis is focused on resocialisation of persons after cerebrovascular accident - stroke. In this research I have focused concretely on interviews with people who had experienced a stroke. The thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part deals with anatomical-physiological basis of stroke, risk factors, disease characteristics, symptoms, causes, first aid, the description of different types of stroke and comprehensive rehabilitation, specifically with medical, social, pedagogical and working means of rehabilitaion. In the practical part methods and techniques of qualitative research were used. The questioning method and the semi-structured interview technique were applied. The target group was 10 people who had experienced a stroke. Interviews were processed into case studies - case reports. In the case studies, information from people who had undergone the disease was summarized. The aim of my thesis was to determine and compare the opportunities for selected social groups to return to normal life after a stroke. In the discussion, the obtained information was summarized and hypotheses arising from the research were presented. The supposed use of my thesis could be mapping possibilities of resocialization for persons who have suffered a stroke. The thesis could contribute to the quality improvement of education in this subject and also to help educate the public. Other possibilities how to make use of this thesis are to create a procedure that could be applied in resocialization of persons after stroke.

Prevention and therapy of spasticity in patients after cerabral apoplexy
TÁBORSKÁ, Žaneta
Spasticity is a manifestation of many neurological diseases, for example an infantile cerebral palsy, a traumatic injury of brain and spinal cord, a multiple sclerosis and a stroke. A genesis of the spasticity is not yet completely clarified and many definitions try to explain it. The spasticity can deepen a disability of patients even with a minimal paresis. The spasticity has a different clinical picture at various diseases of the central nervous system, but even at different patients with the same diagnosis, it also varies in the course of time at one and the same patient. The biggest problem in the treatment of the spasticity is the fact that the treatment, efficient at one patient, can completely fail at the other. A goal of this thesis was to give an overview of current options in a treatment of the spasticity. Therapeutic approaches to reduce the spasticity are usually a part of special kinesio-therapeutic methodologies, which are for example an anti-spastic positioning, a volitionary relaxation, passive movements, an anti-spastic placing (Bobath´s conception), relaxation techniques (PNF), an application of splints, a long-term effect of the heat, an icing and others. On the contrary, it is intensified by pain, pressure sores, a sub-luxation position most often of the shoulder joint, a psychical stress, urinary tract infections etc. In the theoretical part I focused on a control of the muscle tone, pathophysiology, clinical symptomatology, diagnostics and especially prevention and the treatment of the spasticity. In the practical part I investigated an effectiveness of an anti-spastic therapy through the qualitative research. For the data collection it was used an anamnesis, observations (kinesiological analysis), case reports and a secondary data analysis. The research was made at two probands with a brain damage on the vascular basis. I was finding out an effectiveness of selected therapies for individual probands {--} and at the same time its suitable combination. I focused on the area of the upper extremity. At the first patient there was a success, by a suitable combination of individual methods, to positively affect the spasticity and an active momentum of the upper extremity. At the second patient in a chronic stage of spasticity it was managed to influence it always only for a short term and results varied considerably in the course of time. The treatment of the spasticity must be preceded by a thorough knowledge of pathophysiological mechanisms, a neurophysiology and above all a complex kinesiological analysis. The therapeutic approach should be always individual, to respond appropriately to changes in the clinical picture and to use suitable combinations of therapeutic approaches. If the treatment of the spasticity is successful, it positively affects the motor deficit and reduces the patient's disability.

Special physiotherapeutic procedures as a part of the recovery for patients after stroke
KŘIVÁČEK, Jan
The thesis deals with {\clq}qSpecial physiotherapeutic procedures as a part of the recovery for patients after stroke.`` While in the most developed countries there was, in last 10 - 20 years, recorded a significant decline in a mortality of stroke thanks to a consistent prevention, the Czech Republic still belongs among countries with the high mortality. Nevertheless a large part of strokes is a result of an improper lifestyle in a combination with a lack of the physical activity and other factors. Just a use of an aerobic training is often a neglected part of the convalescence, although there is an obvious link of the cardiovascular performance with a function of the neuro-musculo-skeletal apparatus as well as psychological features. A goal of this bachelor thesis was to verify a relevance and effectiveness of the aerobic training as a part of physiotherapy at patients after stroke. The thesis deals, in the theoretical part, with an etiology, risk factors, a prevention and a clinic symptomatology of stroke and individual approaches to a subsequent complex rehabilitation. Then there are pointed out principles of a stress diagnosis, a reaction of the organism to the stress, changes of cardiovascular, ventilatory functions and the aerobic training.In the experimental part I used a quantitative research with methods: an interview,anamnesis, status praesens, evaluation of hemiplegia after Chedoke, a direct observation, case reports and a secondary data analysis. The research was conducted at patients after stroke hospitalized in Neurological a Rehabilitation wards of the Hospital in České Budějovice. Results of the research showed a certain trend of measured values within a meaning of the adaptability to the training programme and a positive contribution to the overall rehabilitation process. The thesis could be used as a study and information material for the general public as well as for students of medical and paramedical disciplines, last but not least as a preventive measure against stroke.
