Aftercare of patients with brain damage
OLIVOVÁ, Tereza
This thesis is focused on the problematics of aftercare in patients with brain damage. The thesis has an informative character and its aim is to introduce the problematics to the readers and give them valuable advices. This topic has come to the fore of the interest of the professional and general public especially in recent years. Partly because numbers of brain damage especially those of the traumas are increasing, but also because of the development of acute medicine, which is nowadays at a very high level, there is an increase in the number of patients who survive brain damage. However, the problem is a large quantity of these patients have permanent consequences, and they and their closest neighbors have to deal with. These permanent consequences are manifested as cognitive impairment, impairment of sensory functions, physical disability and changes in behavior and emotions. Following care in patients with brain damage is a major problem in our country. We see the problem especially in the continuity and availability of care for locally available services and rehabilitation care for these individuals. The continuity of care after the patient is released from the acute bed is very low and sometimes chaotic. To obtain the necessary informations for thesis and to achieve the goals, it was necessary to study a large amount of professional literature. Used sources are specialized Czech and foreign literature, professional journals and articles searched in professional databases. This thesis should show the possible problems of patient aftercare with brain damage. The results of the thesis can be used as a subsidy to professional conferences, seminars or courses to deal with the issue. The thesis could increase public interest about this topic.

Norková, Hana ; Gerlichová, Markéta (advisor) ; Dědková, Miriama (referee)
Title: Use of rhythmic stimulation in physiotherapy in patients with acquired brain damage Abstract: The topic of the bachelor thesis is the use of rhythmic stimulation in physiotherapy in patients with acquired brain damage. The thesis consists of theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part contains 4 sections. The first section is entirely dedicated to the acquired brain damage. The second section describes the motor system and structures involved in its management. The third section summarizes information related to music therapy, neurological music therapy, rhythmical stimulation in neurological music therapy, music, rhythm and their influence on the human brain. In the last section, the Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance is described in more details, the elements of which are further used in the practical part. The practical part is built on two case studies illustrating two female patients with an upper limb motor disorder caused by cerebral stroke. During the therapeutic sessions with the patients different elements of Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance were applied. Both patients used four musical instruments, accompanied by a metronome and played each of the instruments with some specific movements. The synchronization of the pace with the movements of the upper limbs in...

The Application of Robot-Assisted Therapy in Patients after Brain Injury in the Acute Phase. Subtitle: With Application of PABLO Instrument.
Gašparová, Pavlína ; Oktábcová, Alice (advisor) ; Marková, Olga (referee)
BACHELOR THESIS ABSTRACT Name, Surname: Pavlína Gašparová Thesis supervisor: Mgr. Alice Oktábcová Thesis opponent: Title of the Bachelor Thesis: The Application of Robot-Assisted Therapy in Patients after Brain Injury in the Acute Phase: With Application of PABLO Instrument Abstract: Brain vascular diseases are the second most common cause of hospitalization in the Czech Republic. As a result of their effect, the upper limb may suffer from typical motor and sensory disorders which reduce independence and self-reliance of the patient. To enhance motor disorders, robot-assisted therapy has been used within the framework of rehabilitation in the last few years. One of the robotic devices working on the basis of virtual reality is, for example, Pablo® System, which enables intensive training of repetitive movements of the upper limb and hand grip strenght or the pinch force. The objective of this work is to discover the effects of three-week intensive rehabilitation of paretic upper limb using the robotic device Pablo® System with three selected probands in an acute phase of stroke. Evaluation of the effects of the device was made using Dynamometer Jamarâ (hand grip strenght), goniometer (active ranges of upper limb motion), modified Frenchay arm test (functional motor activity of upper limbs) and Functional...

Physiotherapy using rhythmic auditory stimulation in upper limb training for patients with motor disorder caused by brain damage
Volchanskaya, Sofya ; Táborská, Silvie (advisor) ; Sládková, Petra (referee)
Title: Physiotherapy using rhythmic auditory stimulation in upper limb training for patients with motor disorder caused by brain damage Abstract: The theme of this bachelor thesis is physiotherapy using rhythmic auditory stimulation in upper limb training for patients with motor disorder caused by brain damage. The thesis consists from theoretical and practical parts. The range of problems associated with brain damage, both traumatic and stroke-induced, is briefly described in theoretical part. Fine and gross motor function of upper limb, the impact of central nervous system damage on it and possibilities of subsequent physiotherapy are also described in this part. In the last chapter of theoretical part knowledge about musical therapy, its application in neurorehabilitation and Rhythmical Auditory Stimulation method (RAS) is summarized. Practical part consists of two case reports of patients with acquired brain damage and following upper limb moving disorder. In this part the influence of RAS method during therapy is monitored. The evaluate the method's effect Five-Step Clinical Assessment by Gracies and Jebson-Taylor standard hand function test were used prior to initiation of treatment and immediately after its completion. The purpose of this thesis is summarizing and comparing knowledge about RAS method...

Positioning and application of orthoses in patients after acute brain damage
Barborková, Marie ; Dlouhá Maršálková, Alexandra (advisor) ; Angerová, Yvona (referee)
OF THE BACHELOR'S THESIS Author: Marie Barborková Supervisor: MUDr. Alexandra Dlouhá Maršálková Opponent: Title of bachelor's thesis: Positioning and application of orthoses in patients after acute brain damage. Abstract: The thesis is dealing with positioning and application of orthoses to patients after a brain damage, especially to those recovering from a stroke. The first part of the thesis is theoretical and is based on literature research and supported by foreign case studies. The general information about stroke and motor neurone syndrome is defined there together with information on positioning of a hemiparetic patient after a stroke and applying orthoses to prevent contractures, their treatment and effect on spasticity. The practical part of the thesis includes a study case of a patient who used the splint at night to hold the ankle in a neutral position. Using the theoretical information the practical part observes the effect of using the splint on spasticity and passive range of motion of the foot in dorsiflexion. The aim of the theoretical part is to review the knowledge about positioning and use of orthoses and splints for patients after a stroke, mainly oriented on prevention of contractures. The goal of the practical part is to compare the theoretical knowledge and gained information...
