Work activity as part of therapeutic - formative activities in children's home
LOMOVÁ, Michaela
This bachelor thesis focuses on the issue of preparing children in children's homes for real-life once they leave institutional care. One of the ways of improving the current state of affairs is to use therapeutic-formative methods in everyday pedagogical activities of educators, particularly suitable seem to be therapies based on work or activities. Consequently, the aim of this bachelor thesis is to prepare, implement and evaluate an educational project that uses these working activities to boost competences (skills, proficiency, knowledge and attitudes that children from institutional orphan care need to lead an independent life). The body of this work consists of four parts. The first chapter studies institutional orphan care as educational institutions for institutional education, primarily the way they are rooted in law, their function, target group characteristics and current trends in this field of studies. The second part specifies and introduces therapeutic-formative approaches that constitute a part of pedagogical praxis in Czech Republic and other countries, including therapies based on games, activities or work, animal-assisted therapies, expressive arts therapies or psychomotorical therapies. The third part analyses the importance of work and working activities in the life of man. In this thesis, work is considered to be one of the most basic human activities; its aim is to achieve not only material provision, but also to satisfy physical needs and to initiate a positive change in the social role of individual. The fourth chapter contains well-proven educational project that is based on the results of before-mentioned informational resources analysis and, in concordance with these results, focuses on a development of real-life competencies (which are, in this particular case, represented by food preparation skills). The methodical part of this project defines goals and approaches, formulates primary principles of implementation and specifies evaluation criteria. Subsequently, it describes the structure of the project itself and contains implementation records and final evaluation. This project was based on an analysis of professional resources and takes into account the needs and characteristics of its target audience ? 8 children from orphan care institutions aged 12 to 18 years. Its name (?Gourmet tour of Italy?) clearly reveals that it is all about preparing dishes from Italian cuisine, which today enjoys a lot of popularity. The broader primary goals of this project are to bolster children?s training for independent life after they leave institutional care and to initiate a more positive approach towards everyday work-related activities. Specific goals of this project are to train basic cooking skills, prepare several simple dishes, acquire information about ingredients needed to prepare given meals, connect data about geography and real life in Italy gained during education with particular information connected to local gastronomy and a motivation to further develop personal cooking skills. Evaluation of the project has three tiers: self-evaluation of project leader, evaluation of the project from participants and evaluation of competencies gained by participants from project leader using games and interview techniques. The project was implemented in cooperation with Dětský domov in Boršov nad Vltavou from February to May 2013. On the basis of given evaluation we can safely state that the planned goals were achieved and the project turned out to be a success. This educational project can be, without further modifications, implemented for another group of children (in another orphan care institution). Another possibility is to modify the project topic and implement it with the same group of children, which could have a positive influence on boosting the acquired knowledge and skills and achieving a further improvement of their attitude towards food preparation in real life.

Therapeutic techniques and their use for children with disabilities at school age
KOLÁŘOVÁ, Marie
The topic of this bachelor thesis are therapheutical techniques and the way they are used in helping school-age children with disabilities. The theoretical part of this thesis defines the terms "therapy", "therapist" and ?comprehensive rehabilitation system?. Comprehensive rehabilitation system comprises not only occupational, social and pedagogical resources, but primarily also therapeutic resources that include (but are not limited to) therapies (e.g. ergotherapy, animal-assisted therapy, music therapy or drama therapy). Therapies are the prevailing topic of the major part of this thesis, which mainly deals with features of individual therapeutic techniques used in specific therapies. My thesis also describes development stages of school-age children, which are divided into "lower" and "higher" school age. In final conclusion of the theoretical part, I also briefly refer to physical disabilities (etiology, types of disabilities and associated illnesses). The goal of the practical part of my bachelor thesis is to research the type of therapeutic techniques that are currently being used for specific therapies in Arpida therapeutic centre in the town of České Budějovice. To achieve this goal I have set one primary research question: to reseach the types of therapeutic techniques used by therapists for treating children with physical disabilities. My research have demonstrated that in the field of ergotherapy the therapists from Arpida centre primarily practise three basic techniques: activities of daily living ? ADL, hand ergotherapy, that is focusing mainly on developing fine and gross motor skills of children with physical disabilities, and (last but not least) therapeutic games. There are several of them being used and their aim is to develop cognitive skills of the child, his or her imagination and creativity and also to develop the above-mentioned fine and gross motor skills. Another from analysed therapies was animal-assisted therapy. In this centre, it was practised only in the form of canistherapy (therapy aided by dogs) and hippotherapy, in which the main therapeutic resource is a horse. My research has demonstrated that, in the field of canistherapy, therapists mainly practice Animal Assisted Activites, Animal Assisted Therapies and Animal Assisted Education. In the field of hippotherapy, my research showed that the most frequently used techniques are horse-riding for pedagogical-psychological purposes and hippotherapy, during which the most frequently used client positioning is lying on back, leaning on forearms, leaning on palms and sitting position. The third analysed therapy was art therapy. The most frequently used techniques were drawing, painting, mixed-media techniques as well as other graphics techniques or ceramics work. Was focused on another area - music therapy. For school-age kids with physical disabilities, my research showed that therapists practice techniques such as rhythm games, games with objects and tools, music and artistic techniques, music theatre games, improvisation and games with singing. The aim of these techniques is to target kids awareness, memory and thinking training as well as help them to express their then current emotions. Last but not least, it also helps them develop their motor skills. The next analysed therapy (and a last one) is drama therapy. In this area my research demonstrated that it is not all about drama therapy itself.

The issue of evacuation of people with disabilities
KOVÁČ, David
The aim of social services is the creation of conditions for satisfying people's basic needs, through support and assistance in dealing with the care of disabled people. The feeling of home creates a personal relationship. It is not just about facilities or a roof over one's head, but especially about kind and friendly staff of social facilities. The theme of the thesis is focused on the issue of evacuation of disabled persons in selected facilities. For this purpose, the research part of the work is dedicated to facilities providing social services in the South Bohemian Region, where there are staying people with different kinds and degrees of disability for most of the day time. These facilities include: homes for the elderly, special regime homes, homes for people with disabilities, respite care, weekly care centers, sheltered housing and social rehabilitation. Disabled people, in case of evacuation, are dependent on the help of others, in particular nursing staff, and on the activities of the Integrated Rescue System (IRS). This places high demands on the readiness of social facilities and personnel itself in terms of evacuation. The thesis deals with the readiness of the aforementioned social facilities for emergencies, with special emphasis on the evacuation of users living in these facilities. In the theoretical part, the issues of evacuation and ways of its division are discussed in several respects, i.e. in terms of duration, the selected solution, the method of implementation, measure extent and in terms of choice of people and in terms of danger to people. Because attention of the thesis is focused on the buildings in which persons with disabilities are grouped, building evacuation as such was described in more detail in the thesis. A substantial, and even to a considerable extent extensive, chapter talks about a description of social care services, of which I chose only those that have the form of buildings where disabled people stay. Then I chose those devices that provide residential form, because there arises an obligation to care for the person entrusted, and therefore the need for a response to emergence of an extraordinary event, which is in many cases inherently linked with implementing evacuation. Defined criteria for the selection of providers of social services (residential form of social services and the type of social services) corresponded to a total of 66 social facilities in the South Bohemian Region. For the purposes of the subsequent questionnaire it was interviewed 33 of them, chosen randomly, while the survey itself was attended by 30 facilities. For the sake of compact perspective of the problem it was necessary to define disability according to the Act no. 108/2006 Coll., on social services. According to this act, a disability is divided into visual, auditory, physical, mental and combined disability. Specifically, but not exhaustively, they are described in chapter 2. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate the readiness of selected social services of the region for evacuation. For this purpose, an extensive survey was carried out in selected facilities in the region. For the actual investigation, two questionnaires were created. One was intended for managers or responsible leaders of these facilities and contained 16 questions. The second was intended for staff and included 26 questions. It was divided into three blocks. The first block contained five questions that provide information about the respondent. The second block contained 16 questions, which reported on the knowledge of personnel in the area of evacuation, health and safety at work, fire protection and emergencies that may arise in the structure of the facility or its surroundings. The third block contains five questions, which focus on self-evaluation of the one interviewed. Results of the survey were, for the purpose of clarity, evaluated as graphs including their interpretation.

The model psychological crisis of a people with gained physical disability
ŠMOLÍKOVÁ, Kateřina
This thesis explores the model of psychological crisis of people with post natal physical disabilities. A post natal disability, which is gained after birth, can be a result of a sudden and unexpected incident and the individual is often left with no choice but to deal with the newly acquired difficult situation. In most cases an identity crisis sets in short after the accident during which most of personal, social and family relations are greatly redefined. The theoretical part has altogether four chapters. First chapter defines terms and classifications of physical disabilities and distinguishes between acquired disabilities and congenital or hereditary disabilities. It focuses on the character of an individual with an acquired disability and his or her professional, personal and parental role. The second chapter is focused on the psychological crisis as a result of an acquired disability, its typology and internal mental processes related to it. The models used for this part of the thesis are the ones of Kübler-Ross, Vágner, Říčan and Caplan. Third chapter mentions the psychological immunity of an individual the various necessary coping mechanisms and strategies. The last fourth chapter is concerned with the psychological help which includes an informal support; self-help, mutual help and psychotherapy (esp. person-centered approach of Carl Rogers, supportive psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy). The content of theoretical part of this thesis was based on internet resource analysis. The goal of this study is to determine which coping mechanisms individuals use to deal with the difficult situation and what are the different stages of personal crisis. Another major objective of this thesis is to establish to what extent the individuals have sought professional psychological help. Data for this study were obtained through interviews with people who have a personal experience with acquired physical disabilities. The research part of this thesis includes the aim, the research question and the characteristics of the entire research set. It analyses the methodology used for this research, the approach used for collecting the data and the research itself and its results. Participant observation and narrative interview were the methods used for the purpose of qualitative research. The respondents were asked to participate through a written request for cooperation. The interviews were then being carried out from January 2014 to March 2015. The goals of this research were met through collecting the necessary data and analyzing the interviews. The results suggest that every person is an individual being and everyone copes with their disabilities in a unique way. Due to the variety of the research set it is not possible to summarize all results into one uniform conclusion. Simple observation of the data collected reveals that lengths of interviews and narrative manners of each respondent vary greatly. Each individual experienced the model of psychological crisis in their unique way all subjects experienced some level of anger and aggression. All subjects were also in unison about the fact that optimism and family support are crucial elements in successfully coping with an acquired disability. This study might serve as an informative source for students and people in assisting professional practice as well as for families of disabled individuals. Furthermore it might offer valuable suggestions for improving specific services, for instance in the fields of psychotherapy or assistance for people with acquired physical disabilities who are facing the challenge of coping with their difficult situation.

The use of the TL dosimeters for measuring inhomogeneities irradiation
CANDROVÁ, Daniela
Radiotherapy has commonly been utilised to cure cancer for more than a century. It is counted among the fundamental branches of medicine and represents an effective local or locally-regional method of curing both cancer and some non-cancerous conditions. It utilises ionising radiation which unfortunately eliminates tumour cells along with healthy ones. This is why a wide range of harmful effects of the radiation can be observed on humans. Patients treated with radiotherapy are in some cases monitored with dosimeters so that the intended dose can be compared with what is really absorbed. Nemocnice České Budějovice, a. s. monitors the dose in expected locations of non-homogeneous irradiation using the aforementioned TL dosimeters during the process of rotary irradiation of Mycosis fungoides. Before actually being used in an in vivo dosimetry, these dosimeters must be properly calibrated and have their sensitivity adjusted. Other than that, they are fairly easy to use, do not require much time or money invested and are able to constantly monitor the dose received by a patient treated with rotary irradiation. This diploma thesis discusses the usage of TL dosimeters to measure non-homogeneity of irradiation. It therefore compares the doses received by patients in various parts of the body during irradiation by the TSEI method. These 22 irradiated patients had thorough measurements taken of the doses they received in the so-called black hole region, their axillae and neck while holding their arms up and with arms loosely positioned close to the body. The thesis also suggests the possibility of the dosimeters being used by the integrated emergency service to assist during rescues and demolitions performed in emergency situations when a leak of ionising radiation occurs. Using TL dosimeters would mean more precise measurements of the dose received by the involved personnel in various parts of their body. If a patient is treated with the TSEI method, the dose received is monitored in a reference point, critical areas and areas with residual infiltrations or tumours. Doses measured in critical areas indicate that should the acral parts of limbs be left uncovered, they absorb larger doses than the rest of the body. They thus exceed the intended dose significantly. In the case of fingers, the dose tends to reach as much as 3 Gy. Depending on clinical picture, the attending physician determines whether special covering should be used. This covering reduces the doses received to merely a few tenths of a Gy. There also tends to be a large difference in absorbed doses in axillar areas and the neck, depending on whether the patient's arms are held up or close to the body respectively. Test results indicate that holding arms up or keeping them close to the body on a particular side have always had a profound effect on the dose absorbed by the patient in this particular area. This means that the position of the body greatly influences how much is absorbed in various parts of the body. TL dosimeters are also used in other areas than in vivo dosimetry in radiotherapy. An example of this could be determining the dose received in upper limbs of the workers monitored with thermoluminescent dosimeters in the form of bracelets or rings. They also serve to monitor the external irradiation of persons within the limits of the Czech Republic (TLD network). In radiation therapy, both the doses in skin and body are taken into account when conducting measurements. Depending on the data extracted, it is then possible to assess the course of treatment and ensure safe implementation of ionising radiation. Integrated emergency service teams deployed in cases of radiation emergencies are not considering using TL dosimeters so far, although they could most likely be used to ascertain the exact doses absorbed. Further research would however need to be conducted to either confirm or disprove the benefits of using TLD.

The role of an assistant teacher in inclusive education of disabled child in kindergarten
PELCOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor thesis deals with the role of the asistent teacher in the inclusive education of disabled children in nursery schools. Integration had been taking place over the last couple of years, but lately it has been replaced by inclusion, which is still not realised as extensively as it was originaly intended. Inclusion means integration of pupils with special needs into mainstream education, so that these can fully participace in all activities, as well as of pupils without a disability. Unlike integration, inclusion puts an emphasis on the change of the overall atmosphere and work in the class, which respects the individual needs of each pupil, not only the disabled one. The success of the whole process depends on many factors. One of them is the presence of the asistent teacher in the class which pupil with special needs is educated in. The main aim of the thesis is to show which role plays the asistent in inclusive education of disabled children in nursery school and thus emphasise the importace of his role in the whole process of integration. One of the partial goals of the thesis, derived from the main goal, is to describe the cooperation between the class teacher and the asistent teacher in given class. Last but not least it is also to show the purpose and the benefits of inclusive education of disabled children in nursery school and to find out what opinions do not only pedagogs but also the parents of the disabled children have on this form of education. In the theoretical part free large areas are elaborated on whose content reels off the theme of the thesis. At the begining of each one basic terms are defined, that the given chapter deals with. The first chapter describes different types of disablement. The gratest attention is given to disablements typice for children from 3 to 6 years old, others are only marginally mentioned. The second chapter defines the diference between integration and inclusion with inclusive education characterized in greater detail given the theme of the thesis. In the last chapter we can take a closer look at the professions of asistent teacher and his competencies . It is the last chapter that is most interlaced with the practical part of the thesis, which is focused on the content of the work of an asistent teacher and his position in a class that a disabled child is educated in. Because of the theme of my thesis I decided to use a qualitative research for the collection of the data, using the technique of semi-constructed interviews with individual respondents. In each of the nursery schools I interviewed the director, a teacher and a asistent teacher in the class. Additional way of collecting the data was also involved observation the work of an asistent teacher, which I got to do during my three-week internship in the Jindřichův Hradec nursery school in the last semestr of my studies. When it comes to the work of an asistent teacher, all the respondents agree that it is all about fully asisting the integrated child, which also includes personal asistence. In their opinion the goal of the whole process is to integrate the disabled child into the collective of other children in the widest extent possible. All of the respondents that I approached are unequivocally for inclusive integration of disabled children into nursery schools, which they percieve as positive for both the integrated child as well as the whole collective. It is clear from the results that the role of an asistent teacher is positively percieved by the teachers and it is an integral part in the inclusive education. The results of my thesis can be used as a source of information for all the people who are, like me, interested in the matter. The thesis can also be useful for schools that already have the inclusive education programme or for parents of disabled children who are considering integrating their offspring into the mainstream education.

HAVING A BODY, BEING A BODY - research, performance and integration project
Jungová, Kateřina ; MIKOTOVÁ, Zoja (advisor) ; PILÁTOVÁ, Jana (referee)
Master thesis discusses a reflection of a project To have a body, to be a body which took place in the years 2009 ? 2012. Its topic was a human body and the way how we approach our corporeity and how we relate to it in present days. The project included the experience of people with various types of health or social handicap and also a people whose relationship to own bodies was influenced by their profession. The first part which was the research part included the series of six workshops with following groups: people with mental handicap, boys from juvenile detention center, elderly people, people with physical handicap, IT experts and physicians. The teachers of the workshops were utilizing various movement concepts, approaches and methods (e.g. Feldenkrais method, modern dance, rhythmics, dance and movement therapy, dramatherapy, physiotherapy, neutral mask?) with a common goal to bring the participants to self-expression and self-recognition through their own bodies and authentic movement. In the second part which was the performance part, the authorial performance was created (publicly performed in the years 2010 ? 2012), in which the participants of former workshops took part as authors and performers. The project has had inclusive and integrative aspects. The thesis provides an insight into the project by means of thematic profiles based on its major topics ? it includes chapters Lecturers, teachers and their work in the groups, Group dynamics, Assistance and its changes during the project, Integration, inclusion, re-socialization and project etc.). Among others, one of the resources is wide documentary material gathered continuously during the project. It includes quotes from diary records, interviews with teachers, assistants, participants and curators of workshop groups and from questionnaires for participants and authors of the project. There is rich video and photo documentation added to the thesis.

Examples of successful integrations of students with physical disabilities in the mainstream education
HEŘMANOVÁ, Michaela
This bachelor thesis deals with the examples of successful integration of students with disabilities in the mainstream education in České Budějovice and nearby. The integration of students with the disabilities is currently widespread and it can be frequently found in common types of schools. The thesis consists of three parts: theoretical, practical and appendix. The theoretical part of this thesis discusses the basic concepts which are related to the disability. The most popular types of the physical disability are divided and described there. In the following part a pupil with his special educational needs and learning opportunities is characterized in terms of the legislation. The study also deals with the concepts of integration and inclusion. The term integration is legislatively known in the Czech Republic since 1989. In the process of integration, the supportive measures for the pupils with special educational needs are considerably important. They are e.g.; the early custody and the special educational support. This type of integration should be prepared and planned thoroughly before its creation. The factors that affect this process play an important role in the proces of integration. These factors are particularly; the family, especially the parents, school, class groups, teachers, counseling, diagnosis, and also the form of integration. In any case the main aim of this study is to find and describe the examples of successful integration of students with disabilities in the mainstream education. Moreover, the partial goals are to find out the factors which are positively influencing this process as well as the factors that are not desirable in this process. The another objective is to identify the level of the teamwork between the school, parents and the school counseling facility and then between the cooperation with fellow pupil, teacher's assistant and the classroom teacher. To achieve the above mentioned practical goals the qualitative research has been used. The data were collected with using of the questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The research sample consisted of five students with disabilities who were integrated in mainstream elementary schools in České Budějovice and also in the surrounding area. Furthermore, the research group was made of the parents and classroom teachers of the integrated pupils. The questionnaires with the opened questions were created for these pupils and their parents. The surveys differed in the varied number of questions and their content. In addition the semi-structured interviews were conducted with classroom teachers of the integrated pupils. On the basis of the results, it is apparently evident that the most important factors affect the integration of the human factors. All the people, involved in the integration, are the most important factors for the success of the process. It is a collaboration of the parents and school, teacher's assistant collaboration with the classroom teacher, assistant teacher working with an integrated pupil, pupil´s positive acceptance from the mainstream classmates and the school cooperation with the special educational center. The cooperation between all the stakeholders is essential for the successful integration process. Furthermore, the supportive measures which are important could be for instance; the special methods, compensation, rehabilitation and teaching aids, special teaching materials and more. The highest possible supportive measure is to establish a teaching assistant profession. This work also describes the examples of the successful integration while each of them is unique. There is no precise instruction how to provide the successful integration. It always depends on the capabilities of the school and on the individual skills of integrated pupil. Each student needs to be supported by the different security measures which can help him to overcome the obstacles that cause a physical disability.

Methods of coordinated rehabilitation provided to individuals with physical disabilities
VÁCHOVÁ, Vendula
This bachelor thesis called Methods of coordinated rehabilitation provided to individuals with physical disabilities focuses on school-age children. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part deals with the system of coordinated rehabilitation, its development and meaning. Means of rehabilitation namely remedies, educational, social and working resources with regard to their interconnection and mutual continuity are closely defined in particular subcategories. Therapeutic methods are closely specified in the subcategory regarding rehabilitation remedies. The subcategory concerning social rehabilitation resources concentrates on social services. Second chapter pinpoints physical disability, its etymology and classification. Specific types of physical disability are cerebral palsy and neuromuscular disease. The last chapter of theoretical part is devoted to methods of coordinated rehabilitation that can be used for children with physical disabilities. The research took place in Primary school and nursery school and provider of social services, Kaňka social purpose society in Tábor. The aim of the practical part was to find out the methods that this centre under the system of coordinated rehabilitation provides to its clients. Another aim was to point out whether this system works on case reports of chosen children in such facilities. Qualitative research has been chosen to fulfil the aim of this thesis. The data has been obtained primarily by the content analysis of the data. Semi structured interview with parents served as an additional method. On the basis of the content analysis of the documents three case reports of children with physical disabilities have been created. Informed consent has been acquired from the children's parents. Case reports reflect personal and family history, information in medical reports, psychological examinations and individual plans. Furthermore, attention is paid to particular means of coordinated rehabilitation that are used by the children in Kaňka centre. The research showed that notably thanks to teamwork Kaňka centre works on the basis of comprehensive (coordinated) system of rehabilitation. It is apparent from case reports that continuity of remedies, educational and social resources is good. Working resources are not crucial for this work because attention was paid on school-age children. On the other hand, Kaňka centre provides occupational therapy especially for children with physical disabilities. Occupational therapy represents a practise of daily activities and development of self-sufficiency, which closely relates to working resources of coordinated rehabilitation. Facility interconnects specialist therapies with social services and compulsory school attendance. Children are provided these therapies: physiotherapy, speech therapy, canine therapy, music therapy, art therapy and occupational therapy. As far as the children with physical disabilities are concerned they practise ordinary daily activities, develop fine and gross motor skills, improve mental health and overall wellbeing and promote a positive attitude. In terms of social resources these services are used: personal assistance, day care centre and early care. Children are educated in primary school and special school for primary education. Kaňka also provides special care nursery. Children are also offered leisure activities. Primary school and nursery school and provider of social services, Kaňka social purpose society is one of few centres in southern Bohemia region that provides complex care in the spirit of coordinated rehabilitation that is not only for children with physical disabilities.

Issue of the lower extremity deformities occurrence among preschool children with handicap
BENEŠOVÁ, Gabriela
This thesis deals with deformities of the lower limbs in children with physical disability. Theoretical part of this thesis deals with various issues of disability of lower limbs and their impact on human health. Comprehensively introduce the development of lower limbs, walking significance for the organism and diseases that affect the quality of the legs and their health. Furthermore this thesis deals with the importance of foot and arches of the foot which is also connected to the possibility of influencing walk and body using assistive technologies such as insoles or shoes itself. The practical part of thesis is built using case studies involving four patients. The research was conducted in rehabilitation center Arpida in České Budějovice carried out between November 2014 and March 2015 in children aged 4 to 6 lets disabilities manifested to some extent in the lower limbs. The probands I met once every week ranging from 30 40 minutes. Some part of the research was examine patients, taking medical history and therapies based on this solution. Part of a training unit was to develop movements abilities of children and improve movements stereotype mitigation or eliminate the problems associated with the disease, I used techniques Vojta reflex locomotion, practicing balance and proper walking stereotype, soft and mobilization techniques in the legs and the facilitation of the slab. In the work itself I focused on children with disabilities and their lower limbs. I chose to research using four casuistry, which include anamnesis data and determinate input and output tests and describe therapy, which was carried out with patients. In these examinations were surveyed overall objective investigation, aspection, palpation, inspection walk and motor skills as well as testing on Podoskop and elucidation of locomotion stage by professor Vojta. The result of the practical should be explore how they can be therapeutically affected by lower limb deformities in preschool children with disabilities through appropriate exercises and using appropriate assistive devices. The second objective was to design and create a training unit to improve patient complains. The results confirm that at least to a small degree was given by the subject achieved a positive effect of therapy in relatively short time. These thesis can be used for physiotherapy students dealing with this issue or as an educational component for parents of children who have a similar problem. It can also become an inspiration for parents or therapists in the treatment of specific diagnoses concerning the issue of the lower limbs, but also a holistic view on patient.
