Author: Bc. Kateřina Kotrbová Supervisor: Mgr. Kateřina Vondrová Title: Variability of Performance of Healthy Adults and Post-Stroke Patients in the Box and Block Test Abstract: Introduction: Occupational therapists commonly use the standardized Box and Block Test (BBT) to measure upper limb manual dexterity in individuals with stroke. A consensus lacks among evaluators regarding the frequency of BBT trials. The aim: To recommend the number of attempts for testing individuals with stroke using BBT in the age group of 20-64 years (inclusive). A partial objective is to propose indication and contraindication criteria for testing these individuals using BBT and to assess the impact of BBT on their subjective levels of pain, fatigue, and tension/stress using an emotional scale. Methodology: The author conducted a one-time testing using three consecutive BBT attempts. The experimental group consisted of 24 individuals with stroke. The control group comprised a healthy population of the same gender, with similar dominant limbs, and of similar age. Data were analyzed using the statistical program R, using t-tests and ANOVA tests. Results: A statistically significant difference (α = 0.05) was described in the experimental group between the results of the first attempt and the average results of three BBT...

Dolejšová, Šárka ; Rotbartová, Eliška (advisor) ; Rodová, Zuzana (referee)
OF BACHELOR THESIS Name, surname: Šárka Dolejšová Thesis supervisor: Mgr. Eliška Rotbartová Title: Creation of Educational Materials on the Correct Ergonomics of Transfers in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis Abstract: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex neurological disease of progressive character with a diverse and usually fluctuating clinical picture. This fact is often reflected in the complexity of care, which is usually provided by informal caregivers. However, this care, especially when insufficiently informed, can lead to physical and psychological difficulties for the caregiver and the MS patient. Therefore it is important to provide assistance and offer preventive measures, including ergonomic knowledge when handling a person who is immobile. Carers can obtain this information, for example, from health professionals, other carers or educational materials, which are difficult to obtain in the Czech Republic. The main aim of the work is to create a videomanual on the correct ergonomics of transfers for people with MS. The created videomanual is primarily intended for informal caregivers. The final manual includes ergonomic recommendations for transferring people with MS and a demonstration of transferring via standing, transferring using a towel, "body- to-body" transfer and transferring...
