The diploma thesis Use of ergotherapy fro Down's syndrome in preschool age deals with the use of ergotherapy as a tool for the development of fine and gross motor skills in children with Down syndrome in preschool age. The work consists of two parts. The theoretical part defines the issue of Down syndrome, then describes the specifics of the development of a child with an intellectual disability in preschool age, with a focus on the development of fine and gross motor skills, and the last part summarizes the current knowledge about ergotherapy and its use in children with Down syndrome in preschool age. The second part describes the design of an occupational therapy program focused on the development of fine and gross motor skills in children with Down syndrome and then verifies its applicability in practice through action research. Three children wit Down syndrome aged of four to five were involved in the usability testing and their progress in individual fine and gross motor skills was compared. The results of the research show that the proposed program is usable in practice and at the same time give suggestions for its modifications for further use.

This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of selected bimanual training with people after brain damage with hemiparesis. The bachelor thesis is both theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part are presented the most common causes of brain damage that lead to hemiparesis. Then selected unimanual approaches are described, which focus mainly on the paretic upper limb in therapy. They are followed by bimanual approaches, which emphasize the coordination and involvement of both upper limbs. The unimanual ones are Constraint-induced movement therapy, Robotic Assisted Therapy, Functional Electrostimulation, and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. Bimanual approaches include the HABIT method, COMbined modified constraint induced movement therapy and bimanual intensive training, Mirror therapy, Bilateral isokinematic training, and Task-Oriented bilateral training. The practical part contains a created set of model bimanual activities, which include a total of 13 activities, from personal and instrumental everyday activities. The set was used with 6 patients after suffering a stroke for 3 weeks of therapy. During these three weeks, the patients performed selected model activities from the created set. Each patient underwent an initial and then final examination and evaluation with selected...
