The effect of incorporating music into a comprehensive neurological rehabilitation programme on balance, gait, self-sufficiency and psyche: an experimental non-randomised study
Vokáčová, Zuzana ; Hlinovská, Jana (advisor) ; Řasová, Kamila (referee)
The main objective: To empirically assess the impact of integrating therapy incorporating elements of music and dance into a comprehensive rehabilitation plan for neurological patients, with a focus on its effects on their balance, gait, self- reliance, and psychological well-being compared to a control group. Methods: In a non-randomized experimental study, two groups will experience a comprehensive neurological program following the standard protocol of FTN in Prague. The experimental group will receive additional therapy incorporating music and dance elements (2-3 times a week, 8 sessions over 4 weeks, each lasting 40 minutes). Participants will undergo pre - and post-program testing, with analysis comparing results between groups using a two-sample t-test, and within-group changes using a paired t-test. Results: Improvements in balance and gait in Tinetti test were seen in both groups, but the differences weren't statistically significant, making it unclear which group improved more. Other gait tests (TUG test and 6 MWT) showed no significant changes. Both groups saw significant improvement in self-efficacy measured by the FIM scale, with the control group showing a superior improvement. Psychological evaluation also improved in SF-36 in both groups, but without statistical significance. Thus,...

Importance of a Subjective Assessment of Patient's Quality of Life after Acquired Brain Injury, WHODAS 2.0 Questionnaire
Hysková, Ludmila ; Sládková, Petra (advisor) ; Pluhaříková-Pomajzlová, Jana (referee)
OF THE DIPLOMA THESIS Name, Surname: Bc. Ludmila Hysková Supervisor: MUDr. Bc. Petra Sládková Ph.D. Title of the diploma thesis: Importance of a Subjective Assessment of Patients' quality of Life after Acquired Brain Injury, WHODAS 2.0 Questionnaire Abstract: The diploma thesis deals with the quality of life with people after acquired brain injury. Brain injury is a common cause of disability in the adult population. The aim of the thesis is to find out how the quality of life with people after acquired brain injury changes depending on the attendance of a day care centre. Furthermore, the aim is to determine if there is a correlation between subjective WHODAS 2.0 and objektive FIM data. The theoretical part describes the acquired brain injury, its types and consequences and the subsequent rehabilitation. It also focuses on the quality of life and the possibilities of its assessment using different tools. The WHODAS 2.0 questionnaire is introduced and its clinical use is described. The practical part focuses on the methodology, objectives, hypotheses and research set. The research population consists of 21 patients who attended a rehabilitation day care centre for 4 weeks. The data is collected from the period of April 2022 to March 2023. The results of the work show that the quality of life...

Utilization of Functional Independence Measure and Functional Assessment Measure on acute rehabilitation unit with brain damage patients
Stiborová, Anna ; Svěcená, Kateřina (advisor) ; Krulová, Anna (referee)
OF MASTER THESIS Author: Bc. Anna Stiborová Supervisor: Mgr. Kateřina Svěcená, Ph.D. Title of master thesis: Utilization of Functional Independence Measure and Functional Assessment Measure on acute inpatient rehabilitation unit with brain damage patients Abstract: This master thesis focuses on the utilization of Functional Independence Measure and Functional Assessment Measure (FIM+FAMUK ). The subject of interest is the use of FIM+FAMUK in an acute phase of rehabilitation in brain damaged patients. The aim of the thesis is to demonstrate the usefulness of FIM+FAMUK as an assessment of functional status on an acute inpatient rehabilitation unit. Theoretical part provides basic information on the system of cerebrovascular care in Czech republic, on the importance of assessing functional status in neurorehabilitation and on some other assessments of disability in neurorehabilitation besides FIM+FAMUK . It also brings insight into FIM+FAMUK , its items, evaluation process and its utilization. Practical part presents the results of a clinical application of FIM+FAMUK on a stroke unit. Fifteen people were assessed with FIM+FAMUK as input and output assessment. Statistical data analysis has confirmed the utilization of FIM+FAMUK as an assessment of functional status on acute inpatient rehabilitation...

Clinical utility of Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test in Patients after Brain Damage
Šimková, Klára ; Krivošíková, Mária (advisor) ; Bolceková, Eva (referee)
OF DIPLOMA THESIS Title of diploma thesis: Clinical Utility of Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test in Patients after Brain Damage Objective: The main goal of this diploma thesis was to monitor the relationship between memory functions measured by the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test (RBMT-3) and their subsequent influence on occupational performance in ADL (pADL) in patients after brain damage. The partial objective was to determine whether self-sufficiency in ADL can be predicted from RBMT-3 results. The last partial goal was to create a working version of the RBMT-3 and translate it from the original English version. Methods: The research group consisted of 40 probands (22 males and 18 females) after brain damage. For data collection, the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test (RBMT-3) for assessing the memory function level was used. FIM (version 5.2) was used for evaluating the level of occupational performance in ADL (pADL). Hypothesis verification was performed by correlation analysis and corrected Spearman's correlation coefficient and p-values. For this pre- research, the level of significance α1 < 0.05 and α2 < 0.01 was chosen. Results: The pre-research did not confirm the dependence between the RBMT-3 memory level and the level of self-sufficiency measured by FIM. The P value (p = 0.526) from the...
