Fürstenzellerová, Anna Kristina ; Sýkorová, Jitka (advisor) ; Rodová, Zuzana (referee)
BAKALÁŘSKÉ PRÁCE Jméno, příjmení: Anna Kristina Fürstenzellerová Vedoucí práce: Mgr. Bc. Jitka Sýkorová Title: The Use of Craft and Creative Arts in Occupational Therapy Abstract: The bachelor thesis addresses the topic of Arts and Crafts in occupational therapy. Arts and Craft are linked with the profession from its beginnings. Craft activities were one of the first meaningful occupations the occupational therapists ever used in their work. These activities were also the first occupations expertly analyzed by occupational therapists. As the society evolved, the role of arts and crafts in occupational therapy changed. Today, the use of Arts and Crafts in therapy is a controversial topic that divides occupational therapists. Some see Arts and Crafts only as a historical part of the profession, outdated and anachronistic, and refuse to use them in their work. Others feel their potential and try to find ways of purposefully including them in their patients' rehabilitation plans. The bachelor thesis presents a view of Arts and Crafts as a therapeutic tool. It charts the inclusion of these activities in the history of the profession and describes the current situation. It also identifies the problems that occupational therapists face when including these activities in their therapy. The aim of the study...

Burdová, Eliška ; Jeníček, Jakub (advisor) ; Krivošíková, Mária (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the topic of the use of the dual task in neurorehabilitation in patients with aquired brain injury. Its main goal was to create a program using dual task procedures, which was subsequently applied in a cognitively focused daily rehabilitation stationary of the The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the General Hospital and the First Medical Faculty of Charles University. Another goal was to provide settings for using the conditions of the program, its evaluation and finding out whether it was applied to the patient to improve some of the ADL. The research part of the work is processed by the method of qualitative evaluation research through the elaboration of one case study and evaluation of the program by a decision evaluation model. Based on a comprehensive search, a therapeutic program was developed and evaluated. It includes three levels of primary motor tasks and secondary cognitive tasks divided according to specific cognitive functions. This is a pilot study to further investigate the effect of the use of the dual task in people with aquired brain injury. Key words: dual-task, cognitive-motor interference, neurorehabilitation, acquired brain injury

Title: Evaluation of executive functions in patients with acquired brain damage: translation and clinical use of the "Executive Function Performance Test" Abstract: Patients with acquired brain damage that have affected the frontal lobes usually develop a deficit in executive function (Kulišťák, 2017). Within self-care activities, they are limited for example in initiation, organization, sequencing, emotional control, memory, or self-evaluation. Occupational therapists can use a range of standardized tests to describe the extent of the deficit and select an appropriate rehabilitation. Executive Function Performance Test, which I used in my Bachelor's thesis, is one test from this category. The aim of the Bachelor thesis was the clinical evaluation of executive functions in patients with acquired brain damage using the Executive Function Performance Test. The minor goal was the one-way translation of the Executive Function Performance Test to the Czech language and the subsequent adaptation of the tasks for Czech patients. Furthermore, the Bachelor thesis contains a description of screening tests, clinical tests, and other standardized tests that are evaluating executive function. As well as a description of the executive functions in healthy adults. The practical part of the thesis contains a description of...

In more serious cases it can constitute even life-threatening condition, primarily due to the risk of aspiration and possilbe subsequent development of an inflammatory lung disease. This thesis deals with a possibility of therapeutic influencing of neurogenic dysphagia with utilization of elements of the concept of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation - PNF. Contrary to the fact that exercise on the PNF basis to influence dysphagia isn't used frequently in clinical practice, it represents highly effective and for the therapist easily managable method of therapy. The practical part contains a case history of patients with dysphagia, to whom the therapy on the PNF basis was applied. The goal of the bachelor thesis is to create an educative material for a community of experts, particularly physiotherapist as well as speech pathologists or occupational therapists, and thus support interdisciplinary cooperation in the care of dysphagia patients. The result of the thesis is a formation of the therapeutic procedure...
