BACHELOR THESIS ABSTRACT Name, Surname: Markéta, Ševčíková Supervisor of bachelor thesis: Bc. Zuzana Rodová, M.Sc. Consultant of bachelor thesis: Bc. Jan Závěšický Title: Development of an Online Catalog of Assistive Products Created by Occupational Therapists; Focus on Assistive Products to Improve Manipulation Hand Function in Individuals with Sensorimotor Hand Dysfunction Abstract: Background: Assistive products (AP) enable people with disability to perform daily activities independently. Occupational therapists in the Czech Republic can design and make AP, it is guided by decree no. 55/2011 Sb. The use of Do-It-Yourself (DIY) AP offers personalized, cost-effective solutions, tailored to the user's specific needs, with the potential to enhance accessibility and acceptance. There are many successful online communities sharing guides to make DIY AP like Makers Making Change, Printables, Thingiverse and more. Goal formulation: Creation and evaluation of an open-source online catalog featuring free guides for making AP that can be made by occupational therapists or their patients.

The intervention of occupational therapy in patients with impaired hand function after surgery
Neradová, Kateřina ; Oktábcová, Alice (advisor) ; Čábelková, Alžběta (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the surgical treatment of patients with hand impaired function and subsequent intervention of occupational therapy, and the patients who underwent this treatment. Thesis is divided into two parts-theoretical and practical. The theoretical part describes the function of the hand and the possibilities for its disorders. Subsequently, thesis describes the principles of surgical treatment of various diseases and hand injuries that impair its function. Another part relates to intervention of occupational therapist in patients who underwent surgical treatment of hand. The practical part contains two casuistries, methodology and processed results and discussion. The first casuistry deals with patient with carpal tunnel syndrome solved by surgery. The second casuistry deals with a patient with finger's flexor injury on the left upper limp. During processing has been found that occupational therapy is integral to rehabilitation after hand surgery. Occupational therapy helps to improve the function of the hand grip and the coordination of movement and it is important for gaining the greatest possible self- sufficiency of patients after surgical treatment of hand. At most workplaces, dealing with hand surgery, occupational therapy, however, is not part of rehabilitation,...

Title: Developmental coordination disorder - literature review Objectives: The theoretical part talks about developmental coordination disorder, its diagnosis, investigations, etiology and division during the different ages of the child. The practical part compares the studies relating to atypical development of motor skills in children with developmental coordination disorder. In diploma thesis was often used shortcut CKP and DCD, depending on the source from which it was drawn. DCD is the English equivalent of the shortcut CKP. Methods: This diploma thesis has both descriptively - analytical character. It will be treated as a literature review.

Veselková, Eliška ; Krivošíková, Mária (advisor) ; Gerlichová, Markéta (referee)
The thesis deals with with handwriting in adult patients after stroke. The main aim is to design and evaluate a therapeutic program for stroke patients focused on hand function and handwriting. The secondary aims are to translate Handwirting Assessment Battery for Adults into the Czech language by the method of back translation and to determine patient satisfaction with the program. The theoretical part of the thesis briefly summarizes the issue of stroke. General knowledge about handwriting is followed by a summary of handwriting difficulties of stroke patients. The theoretical part is concluded by available handwriting examinations and different ways of occupational therapy intervention. The practical part of the thesis was a case study. Five patients participated in the four- week therapeutic program. The designed program includes task-specific training and Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) elements. The tools of the Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test, the Frenchay Arm Test and Score for Visual Evaluation of Functional Task of the Hand were used to assess the effect of the program on hand function. The practical part mentions the back translation of the handwriting tool Handwriting Assessment Battery for Adults, which was used to evaluate the effect of the program on handwriting...
