Dedja, Fregen ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Mareš, Pavel (referee)
The aim of this thesis "Use of mirror neurons in rehabilitation of upper extremities in patients after stroke" is to conduct basic information related to issues like stroke and use of mirror neurons in rehabilitation of upper extremities. In this review I would like to present data on mirror neurons, that appear to play a fundamental role in both action understanding, imitation and movement. I would like to stress, in particular, those properties specific to the human mirror neurons, that might explain the human capacity to learn by imitation. This thesis consists of three parts. General part contains a general overview of stroke problematics, and its pathology, symptoms, course, diagnosis and therapy. The special part of this thesis explains the function of mirror neurons and their use in rehabilitation of upper extremities in patients after stroke. The thesis includes a case in which the examination and the therapy suggested by the author tries prove that mirror neurons can be part of the rehabilitation process. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The importance and possibilities of positioning of patients after stroke
PLOUHAROVÁ, Kamila
This bachelor thesis is about the importance and possibilities of positioning of patients after stroke. The thesis is divided into theoretical part and practical part. The theoretical part deals with a summary of theoretical knowledge about stroke and possibilities of positioning patients after stroke. There is a more detailed description of antispastic positions, which are based on the Bobath concept. The thesis also includes information about other ways of positioning, which are positioning based on the concept of basal stimulation, positioning using inflatable splints, canistherapy and the suitable supply of information to the patient. The aim of the practical part of the thesis is to evaluate the importance of positioning of patients after stroke by comparing the entry and exit examination and suggest short and long term rehabilitation plan for patients. In practical part was chosen qualitative research a case study that was performed with 5 patients after stroke. Patients were selected randomly during my practice in hospital in České Budějovice at the Neurological and Rehabilitation Department. Data collection was performed processing of case studies, which used the method of observation, interviewing patients and nursing staff and secondary data analysis. Each case report contains anamnesis, entry and exit examinations, proposal of short and long term rehabilitation plan and information about therapy, which patients participated. The results of the thesis show that physical conditions were improved by patients described in case studies 1, 2 and 3. Patients 1 and 3 also improved their psychological conditions. The patient described in the case study 2 did not have any psychological problem at the beginning of the research. The physical and psychological conditions were not improved by patients 4 and 5, but avoid the formation of pressure ulcers and to reduce passive range of motion. Improvement by patients 1, 2 and 3 can be caused by favourable prognosis early in the disease and also care of multidisciplinary team. Against to this by patients 4 and 5 was the prognosis unfavourable.

Physiotherapy of fine motor skills for patiens after cerebrovascular stroke
DAMBOROVÁ, Barbora
The theme of this bachelor thesis is "Physiotherapy of fine motor skills for patiens after cerebrovascular stroke". Stroke is a neurological disease that is caused by a vascular disorder with symptoms corresponding to the affected part of the brain. This disease is the most common and its occurrence can not be reduced despite a great awareness of the risk factors that anyone can affect. The main target of this work is mapping of this stroke issue and its influence on fine motor skills of affected individuals. Than this thesis describe suggestion, implementation and evaluation of therapeutic methods in three probands. Based on those targets a research question was set: What changes in kinesiological testing might occur after the implementation of the proposed therapeutic methods by patiens with impaired fine motor skills after a stroke? This thesis is devided into two main parts: the theoretical part and practical part. The theoretical part deals with the stroke issue and its manifestation by the affected part of the brain as well as its impact on a man. This part describes fine motor skills, manipulation, grasps and fine motor skills testing. The last chapter introduces the therapy from the perspective of physiotherapy, occupational therapy and therapy using the robotic technology Armeo Spring and Amadeo. The practical part is based on qualitative research, which includes a complete kinesiology and neurological testing and analysis functions of individuals grip. Short and long term rehabilitation plans have been done. Both are based on the testing results. The research was conducted for patients with subacute phase of stroke who were hospitalised on the Rehabilitation or Neurological Department of Hospital České Budějovice a.s. Physiotherapy lasted for two weeks in the hospital each probands at the department. During therapy fine motor skills at all probands have been improved. The research could be considered beneficial.

Strokes and the protocol of a stroke for Emergency Medical Services of the South Bohemian Region
SCHWARTZ, Kamila
The topic of this thesis are the Stroke and the Protocol of a Stroke for Emergency Medical Services of the South Bohemian Region. The teoretical part of this thesis includes basic anathomy and pathophysiology facts of brain necessary for understanding of a cerebrovascular accident. Afterwards the chapters are focused on the CVA itself. First of all are described the definition and a basic division of Strokes. In the next chapter are described possible high-risk factors leading to an inception of a cerebrovascular accident. The following topic is the Clinical Picture of Ischemic and Hemorrhaging CVA, diagnostic method used in a hospital facility. The important chapter is the therapy of a cerebrovascular accident in a preliminary medical care, there is also described the Protocol of a Stroke and potential patient's aiming to an acute medical treatment. The two last chapters are focused on a hospital medical treatement and after-care. The intention of this thesis is the maping of theoretical knowledge and differences in application of the Protocol of a Stroke aplicated by paramedics and nurses working in the Emergency Medical Service of the South Bohemian Region. We also wanted to evaulate a cooperation with Stroke Centers that can help to get the patient to undergo a medical performance as fast as it is possible which is essential for the patient and improves many times a future quality of life. Practical part tooks place by the method of a qualitative research. There were used semi-structured interviews with paramedics and nurses employed by Emergency Medical Services of the South Boheminan Region. The interviews included twelve questions concerning theoretical knowledge about the Cerebrovascular Accident, knowledge of the Stroke Protocol and filling in of of it, evaulation of co-operation and a telephonic consultation with Stroke Centers in the South Bohemian Region. Furthermore there was led a semi-structured interview with the doctor of the Complex Cerebrovascular Centre in České Budějovice and with the doctor of the Stroke Centre in Písek. The interviews consited of five questions concerning primarily a frequency of occurrence of the Stroke Protocol during the submittig of the patient and the evaulation of the consultation of patient's condition using the Stroke Telephone. Transcribed interviews are the component of practical part. The evaulated answers were catalogued into the charts for a better arrangement and orientation.

Nursing care of patients with stroke
BALGOVÁ, Veronika
This thesis is divided into a theoretical and an empirical part and it deals with nursing and patient care after a stroke. The theoretical part comprehensively summarized the issues related to stroke. It deals with the definition of the disease given, its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, complications and therapy. Very important part is the area of nursing care that due to the nature of the disease, carries many specifics and includes comprehensive care, which may include stroke centers. There were stated objectives for this bachelor thesis: 1. To identify the problematic areas when providing nursing care to the patient after a stroke. 2. To secure the patient´s satisfaction with nursing care. Based on these objectives there were asked two research questions: 1. What are the problematic areas in nursing care of patients after a stroke? 2. Are patients satisfied with nursing care? The empirical part of this bachelor thesis presents the results of a qualitative research. The form of a semi-structured interview and a hidden observation was used. The interview with five nurses working in the neurology department and with five respondents who have had a stroke was conducted on the basis of questions prepared in advance. When analyzing the results, the method of "paper and pencil" was used. The processed results were categorized and then split into subcategories. The hidden observation was focused on five nurses working in the neurology department. Observation results were recorded into an observation diary and eventually evaluated. All of the research questions asked were answered by realizing and processing the survey. The results of the survey point to a very good quality of nursing care provided in the neurology department. However, based on interviews and observations, some minor flaws occurred. One of them is the lack of respect for privacy and intimacy while providing nursing care and inadequate defecation reflex training. It was further found that nurses presented the rehabilitation as the most important part in providing nursing care, but they unfortunately did not take part in it. Another problem mentioned by nurses is the lack of time to be able to individually work on all interventions that have been chosen. As a great positive we can present big satisfaction of respondents with the approach of nurses in providing nursing care. Based on the result of this research an informative brochure was created. This booklet can serve to the nursing staff as a kind of summary of the principles needed to be held when giving nursing care about patients with the issues mentioned above. It can also be used as a teaching tool for students.
