Brušáková, Štěpánka ; Holečková, Irena (advisor) ; Vaverka, Miroslav (referee) ; Ehler, Edvard (referee)
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the results of brachial plexus reconstructive surgery. The work focused on the analysis of the brachial plexus repair at Masaryk Hospital in Ústí nad Labem between 2012 and 2023. The aim of the study was to focus on a set of patients operated using the technique of nerve transfers. In addition to the clinical results, the presence of neuroplasticity was investigated by monitoring postoperative synkinesis and evaluating factors on which the presence of neuroplasticity depends. Methods: A total of 34 proximal nerve transfers were performed in 21 patients for restoration of shoulder abduction, external rotation and elbow flexion. The evaluation of the results was carried out at least 3 years after surgery. The resulting muscle strength, range of motion, Mallet scale, pain quantification, electrophysiological testing and the presence or absence of synkinesis between donor and recipient were assessed. An evaluation of subjective assessment of the effect of decreased function on normal activities of daily living including work capacity (DASH) was recorded. The results were statistically processed. Results: Of the 34 neurotransfers, 20 achieved M3 or greater strength (58.8 %), and 5 transfers achieved M4 or greater strength. The disappearance of synkinesis...

Development of Psycho-motor Skills in Juveniles and School Maturity
Křížová, Věra ; Vančata, Václav (advisor) ; Ehler, Edvard (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the topic of psychomotor development in middle and late childhood, school maturity, its aspects and methods of testing. A total of five aims are set and six hypotheses are assigned to them. Two aims determine how much experience, training and home preparation influence the results of school maturity tests, which are based on the evaluation of individual aspects of psychomotor development. Furthermore, the aim is to find out whether psychomotor development occurs uniformly in all its areas and whether the factor of body height is related to the level of development. The last two goals are tied directly to the tested group, which consists of children aged 6-8 years living in the district of Rychnov nad Kněžnou. It is determined whether these children are mature enough to enter the 1st grades of primary school and whether there is any connection between the parents' decision to postpone their children's entry into primary school and their results in school maturity tests. To meet these goals, a cross-sectional study is used, which consists of two components. Face-to-face testing of children aged 6-8 years in the facilities of a kindergarten in the period April and May 2023, when these children participate in three school maturity tests (each based on monitoring a...

The Importance of Circadian Rhythms in Humans with a Focus on Adolescents
Kolářová, Michaela ; Vančata, Václav (advisor) ; Ehler, Edvard (referee)
The aim of the presented diploma thesis is a detailed outline of the meaning of circadian rhythms in adolescence. Circadian rhythms appear in early childhood, but undergo many changes during lifetime. While in early childhood the waking and sleeping cycle shifts to an earlier time, during adolescence it is quite the opposite and the cycle is shifted a few hours later and in older age the cycle even returns to an earlier state. Adolescence is associated with the most significant changes and increased demands on study, independence and generally more overload at the expense of quality and adeqaute sleep, which not only causes circadian rhythms to dissipate and shift dramatically, which such as health. For adolescents, the delayed phase is naturally correlated with sexual development, with sleep patterns being controlled by the biological component. Respecting physiological changes in adolescence and striving for institutional changes seem to be the most appropriate therapies instead of forcing patterns basen on institutional and parental needs, which only undermines adolescent body chemistry, results in insufficient and poor quality sleep for functioning and healthy physiological development of adolescents.
