The Upper Limb Prosthesis And Its Impact On A Patient's Mental State
Štechová, Eva ; Bachura,, Marek (referee) ; Zdařil, Zdeněk (advisor)
Bachelor's thesis deals with myoelectric upper limb prosthesis and it's effect on mental state of the patient. It was created as a collaboration with company OTTOBOCK SLOVAKIA s.r.o, company that distributes prostheses and other devices to help improve or preserve mobility for disabled patients. I chose one of their products, Greifer, and decided to do a redesign. Greifer is a prosthesis made for delicate work with small objects on one hand, on the other for harder work that requires a firm grip. I created the design with regards to ergonomics, functionality and aesthetic quality. My aim was to create a product that a patient would easily get used to, and it would not draw negative attention of other people, which would have negative effect on a mental health of the patient. Functionally I followed the today's Greifer system provided by Ottobock at first, but then I added the function of rotation around spherical joint, inspired by an actual human wrist joint.

The Comparison of Upper Limb Socket Designs
Žitňanský, Pavol ; Bachura, Marek (advisor) ; Půlpán, Rudolf (referee)
Title: The Comparison of Upper Limb Socket Designs Objectives: The goal of this bachelor thesis is to focus on prosthetic socket as the most important part of a upper limb prosthetic, to collect available information about different types of sockets and appropriateness of indication and to create indicative manual for the best choice prosthetic socket for different types of amputations level. Secondly I would be glad this thesis to be useful source of information for everybody willing to understand deeply this topic. Methods: The main source of information is firstly the available specialized literature and partly mine professional experience. I did collaborate and got more information from my colleagues and expert in this field. I had participate on special seminars and workshops. Results: This thesis includes information about the history and development of upper limb prosthetic. It interpret evolutionary process and functional anatomy and biomechanics of upper limbs. The main part of the thesis is focused on reason of amputations and ways of treatment by prosthetic care. The most important part is describing different techniques of fixation prosthesis on the stump. One of the main results is the table constructed based on upper mentioned facts. The table should be useful for specialized and laic...

Transfemoral prostheses and their importance for geriatric patients
Ďurický, Michal ; Bachura, Marek (advisor) ; Šolc, Zdeněk (referee)
Title: Transfemoral prothesis and their importance with geriatric patients Objective: The objective of my work is to gain an overview about transfemoral prothesis and summarize the information about their importance with geriatric patients due to their polymorbid status. Methods: The first part, theoretical, is of finding character, and the second part, practical, gathers information from geriatric patients. Publications, articles and counceling with specialists in prosthetics were used when creating this work. Results: Using transfemoral prothesis with geriatric patients is strongly influenced by their health status and proper rehabilitation. Keywords: geriatric patient, amputation, stump, prothesis, knee joint, sole of foot

Technical solutions and indications to KAFO orthosis
Hadbavný, Radovan ; Bachura, Marek (advisor) ; Černý, Pavel (referee)
Title: Technical solutions and indications of KAFO orthoses. Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to look closely of the orthosis at crossing areas of the foot, ankle and knee (KAFO brace), gather available information on individual technical solutions and indications of the type KAFO orthosis. Furthermore, I would be happy if this work has become a useful resource for anyone who wants more insight into this issue. Methods: During the formation of this thesis I have drawn on available literature and partly from previous personal experience. Next I worked with and obtain information from colleagues and experts in the art. I attended seminars and training courses. Results: This work contains informations from anatomy, which describes it in greater detail. Is it described human gait, muscle testing lower limb and also includes general orthotics. The main part focuses on disorders of the lower limb which they relate technical solutions KAFO orthosis with their respective indications. The results show the use of a particular technical solution of the orthosis according to the health of the patient. Keywords: Orthosis, lower extremity, KAFO, paralysis of muscle, extremity lenght
