Kvapilová, Barbora ; Hoidekrová, Kristýna (advisor) ; Krivošíková, Mária (referee)
Standardization of motor tests has recently been on the rise in all healthcare professions, including occupational therapy. This diploma thesis deals with the determination of test - retest reliability of the Grip test in patients after stroke. The Grip test was developed at the Rehabilitační ústav Kladruby in the 1980s, based on the need of occupational therapists to evaluate the grip function of the hand. The theoretical part deals with grip, evaluation in occupational therapy and standardization. For the practical part, 60 patients were tested in the subacute stage of stroke. The sample contained 36 men and 24 women aged 35-65 years. Patients had different degrees of paresis, from light to very severe. The testing took place at two different times. The first testing took place in the 1st week of hospitalization in the Rehabilitační ústav Kladruby. Retest was performed 3 weeks after the first test by the same person. The data of both measurements were correlated for total score Grip test and for 21 test items separately. The Grip test correlation coefficient is 0.89. The correlation was higher than 0.7 for all 21 items. In most cases, the correlation was 0.8 - 0.9, which means a high level of test - retest reliability. Furthermore, the research part contains an interview with Mrs. Anna Horká, who...

Occurrence of sensomotoric disorders in children with hearing impairment
Fiedlerová, Kateřina ; Vařeková, Jitka (advisor) ; Prokešová, Eva (referee)
Title: Occurrence of coordination disorders in children with hearing impairment Objectives: The aim of this master thesis was to verify the hypothesis that children with hearing impairment have higher incidence of sensorimotor issues byassessing their motor skills, physical fitness and somatognostic functions. A partial goal was to assess the correlation between the methods used. Methods: The examination group consisted of 73 children (27 girls and 46 boys) with hearing impairment aged 7 to 16 years (mean age 11.9 ± 2.8 years). The mean weight of the children was 47.7 ± 17.4 kg, the mean height was 153 ± 17.5 cm and the average BMI value was 19.7 ± 4.1. Following methods for testing of children with hearing impairment were utilized: the Movemet Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition (MABC-2) and Unifittest 6-60. Results were evaluated according to Czech standards. All children were also tested for their somatognostic functions according to Kolář. Furthermore, anamnestic data were obtained from parents of 54 children using a non-standardized questionnaire. In the case of 20 children, the assessment was repeated after 3 years. Statistica and Microsoft Excel 2016 were used for data processing. Results: The hypothesis was confirmed, i.e. children with hearing impairment have higher incidence...

Use the MABC - 2 test battery to measure sport motor gymnastics
PLAVCOVÁ, Adéla
The graduation thesis is focused on the evaluation in motoric skills of sports gymnasts (n=18) aged between 7 to 10 years. The whole study took place in České Budějovice in the Merkur center with the support of a gymnastic team. For this experiment was used the methody called "MABC-2 formula" (Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2nd edition). The MABC-2 test is a standardized test that verifies a level of the motor function while indicating motor difficulties and difficulty in coordination. It consists of eight test items that are divided into three components. Individual components focus on testing fine motor skills (manual skill), gross motor skills (aiming and catching) and balance. After performing the MABC-2 test and obtaining gross scores for each item, we created tables and graphs of component and total test scores (TTS). We compared the results to the standardization norms this test battery and with other researches in this field that deal with motor testing using the MABC-2 test battery. At the basis of this comparison, we evaluated the level of motor skills in the tested group of gymnasts. This thesis confirmed that gymnasts achieved in all components above-average results. For evaluation of the gymnasts balance skills the MABC-2 wasn´t sensitive enought.

Development of elementary musical skills for pre-school children with the help of the soprano flute playing
HELLEBRANTOVÁ, Kamila
The work is focused on children in pre-school age and on development of their musicality through game in the nursery school team. This age group is also briefly described from the physical, mental and emotional point of view. Almost all its chapters include practical exercises at first breathing exercises, then the movement ones with including practising fine motor skills and at the end there are games with fipple flute. These are preceded by a short description of development of this musical instrument starting from its origin up to this day and justification of its use in nursery schools as a possibility to increase the group of Orff musical instruments. This work also introduces some eminent Czech musical teachers (prof. Václav Žilka, prof. PhDr. Eva Jenčková, CSc., Petr Eben, Kvapils, PaeDr. Alena Tichá PhD., Mgr. Zdeněk Šimanovský) and their methodology, that includes besides other things suitable games for the age of 3 - 6. These have also been an inspiration for creating some of our own plays with flute.

Use of Canistherapy for Stimulation of Persons with Rare Diseases
Prokopová, Zuzana ; Hájková, Vanda (advisor) ; Šumníková, Pavlína (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to assess the influence of canistherapeutic intervention on the level of fine motor skills in patients with rare diseases, namely mitochondrial encephalocardiomyopathy caused by TMEM70 gene mutation and Leigh syndrome. Canistherapeutic intervention in these patients is based on activation of motoric functions during programme reasonably designed according to the needs of specific patients. The assistance of the dog is used to achieve this activation. The dog acts as an important motivational factor and the direct contact with it contributes to development of sensomotoric skills of these patients. The thesis summarizes general information about rare diseases and focuses on one of the subgroups of mitochondrial disorders. It presents knowledge about the Leigh syndrome and mitochondrial encephalocardiomyopathy caused by TMEM70 gene mutation. Subsequently the thesis presents information about canistherapy and fine motor skills. The thesis further contains case reports of patients, data from research units and their evaluation. The aim of the thesis was to find out whether patients with mitochondrial disease show improvement of quality and effectivity of selected grasp forms and thus faster and more precise execution assigned tasks focusing on object manipulations.
