Homolková, Simona ; Horsáková, Petra (advisor) ; Rodová, Zuzana (referee)
BACHELOR THESIS ABSTRACT Name, Surname: Simona Homolková Supervisor: PhDr. Petra Horsáková Title: Principles for Choosing an Electric Wheelchair for a Person with a Spinal Cord Injury from the Perspective of an Occupational Therapist Abstract: There are not enough sources in the Czech Republic which would summarize this topic, and therefore the main goal of this thesis is the description of the selection process when it comes to an electric wheelchair for people with a spinal cord lesion at the C4-C6 level from an occupational therapy point of view. A subsidiary aim of this thesis is a survey of the Czech market with electric wheelchairs, the selection of several different models suitable for tetraplegics, their assessment by an occupational therapist and recommendations to certain groups of clients. When it comes to the case studies, this theoretical information is applied in the clinical practice. Another partial goal represents a compilation of a form for occupational therapist in the Czech Republic which combines the acquired theoretical and practical knowledge, and further guides them through the process of selecting an electric wheelchair. The theoretical part presents the description of a spinal cord and spinal cord lesions. It addresses a spinal program and the role of occupational therapist in this...

Holinková, Radka ; Horsáková, Petra (advisor) ; Rejtarová, Anna (referee)
Title: Possibilities of Rehabilitation for Patients after Injury of the Flexor Tendons of the Hand from the Perspective of an Occupational Therapist Abstract: The bachelor's thesis deals with the issue of rehabilitation options for patients who have suffered injuries to the flexor tendons in the hand. It serves as a summary of possible intervention of occupational therapists in patients with injured flexor apparatus. The work is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part talks about the anatomy of the hand and flexor tendons and fine motor skills. The main part is devoted to the possibilities of rehabilitation, occupational therapy examination and therapy of patients suffering from this issue. The practical part contains three case reports of patients with injured flexor apparatus. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) was used to evaluate patient's independence in activities of daily living. The Jebsen-Taylor test was used to evaluate fine motor skills and functional use of the upper limbs in daily activities. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the effect of rehabilitation treatment on disability in patients after flexor tendon injuries in the hands using the Functional Measure of Independence (FIM) test and to evaluate fine motor skills using the Jebsen-Taylor test....

Constraint induced movement therapy for upper extremity in patients after stroke in occupational therapy
Horsáková, Petra ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Constraint induced movement therapy is one of many neurorehabilitation methods, based on principle of overcoming the learned non-use phenomenon by a specific therapeutic protocol including some behavioral techniques. A classification of currently available studies on the topic have been made on the model of literature review, with an in-depth focus on using Constraint induced movement therapy in occupational therapy for adult patients after stroke who have upper limb motor disorders. The present study is structured into two sections: a theoretical part and an analytic-descriptive one. In theoretical part history of the method is presented together at Basic method principles and detail contents of a therapeutic protocol. The analytical and descriptive section is aimed to analyse international studies important and relevant with respect to an occupational therapy practice. In this second section are also proposed many possible activities of shaping and task practice techniques which can be used by occupational therapists. Translation of the most widely used test (Motor Activity Log and Wolf Motor Function Test) into Czech language is included. Keywords: constraint induced movement therapy, stroke, upper extremity, occupational therapy
