Find out how effectively users are able to manage individual tasks with myoprosthesis and basic ADL activities. Methodology: The research group consisted of 6 people with upper limb amputation. In this thesis, there were used three methods of data collection. The first method that was applied was a survey, which was used to obtain anamnestic data by the research group. The second method of data collection was the observation of probands during the performance of individual tasks. The third chosen method was measurement by using a special test aimed at evaluation of the effectiveness while using and the involvement of myorpothesis in the locomotor chain against a healthy upper limb. Results: Based on observations and measurements, it was performed that all probands are able to functionally and effectively involve the myoprosthesis in the locomotor chain in the performance of individual tasks. Another positive result of this thesis was the finding that all probands obtained in the test over 50% rate of effective use when comparing the...

Title: Self-sufficiency and self-care when applying myoprothesis Objectives: The main objective of this work is to present the theoretical summary of the amputation problematic, followed by the further prosthetic usage of myoprothesis and the principles of controlling the myoprothesis. Key is the methodical process of learning how to use myoprothesis, in terms of own self- sufficiency and self-care in the daily activities. Methods: I used the method of literary research in this work. I drew upon the knowledge gained throughout the study of available Czech and foreign technical literature, from internet sources and materials obtained in prosthetic companies, which I visited during my practical internships, mainly through the personal interviews and consultations with prosthetists and ergotherapists. Results: The results provide information on the issue of training activities of daily living with myoprothesis. Keywords: myoprothesis, self-sufficiency, self-care, grip, amputation, prothesis
