Dáňová, Petra ; Pfeiffer, Jan (advisor) ; Neuwirthová, Svatava (referee)
Title: Evaluation of wheelchair adjustments and their impact on proper propulsion pattern upper extremities and sitting posture in patients with spinal cord lesions. Objectives: The objective of this work was to evaluate the adjustments of wheelchair and to determine their impact on the work of the upper limbs and posture while sitting. This work was done on a group of patients with spinal lesions with their own wheelchairs. Another objective was to assess how education of proper propulsion pattern and form and type of a grip of handrim affects the correct propulsion pattern. Methods: In the group of 26 patients with spinal cord injuries in different levels of the spinal cord, I tested the adjusments of wheelchair, in particular the centre of gravity and maximum seat height from the ground. I also investigated what education on correct propulsion pattern the patients received, and observed any home-made adjustments to handrim, as well as patients' techniques of handrim grip.

Gál, Ota ; Muchová, Renáta (advisor) ; Pfeiffer, Jan (referee)
The thesis deals with kinesiological conceptions of Galen of Pergamum and present day science, which it examines from the pespective of philosophical hermeneutics.

Chapters 2.1 to 2.3 sketch out Galen's physical basis, where he follows Aristotele, his psychology, massively influenced by Plato, and therapeutics that belongs to hippocratian tradition. The outcome of these chapters is the teleological character of motion, it's therapeutical as well as originary link to soul and holistic conception of man. Chapters 3.1 to 3.3 analyze corelatively the kinesiological basis of present day science. It is based on biomechanics, genetic conceptions and neurophysiology and understands health and disease through bio-psycho-social prism. Chapter 3.3 is coupled with a short overview of present day therapy with balls. Chapter 4 compares both conceptions searching for functional analogies of their structural elements and focuses on the problem of purpose, possibility of initiation...
