Physiotherapy for children threatened by the developing CP in the 1 year of life
ŠPIKOVÁ, Alžběta
In my bachelor thesis I have dealt with the problematic therapy of children with cerebral palsy. The aim has been defined as a presentation of therapeutic methods used at children endangered by cerebral palsy in the first year of life and the determination of the time aspect of the therapy. In the theoretical part I have dealt with the topic of psychomotor development of a child and the facts related to coming down with cerebral palsy, that includes its definition, causes of development, types and diagnosis. Since the most widely used method in the Czech Republic for children with cerebral palsy is Vojta´s reflex locomotion, the aim of the research part was to present this method in more detail and to find out experience with its use. The respondents were represented by 28 parents of children afflicted by cerebral palsy, who are treated in special diagnostic Center. This part of the work is methodologically based on the principles of qualitative research. Inquiry method has been used, employing semi-structured interview. The answers to questions demonstrate that an early diagnosis of the disease and an immediate institution of treatment is the main necessary condition for reaching optimal outcomes of the treatment. According to the research, the efficiency of the treatment also depends on its frequency, the expert guidance of professional physiotherapists for parents, their comprehension and conviction that the therapy will be successful. The investigation further showed that parents of children with cerebral palsy tried other therapeutic methods than Vojta´s reflex locomotion, but for lack of cooperation of the child, negligible results of other therapies or poor availability of their parents completed the application. The research findings also showed that improvement, which in practice Vojta´s reflex locomotion in their children diagnosed with cerebral palsy occurs, the main reason for this therapeutic method remain and will continue to apply.

The Emotional Expression of Mother in connection with application of Vojta Therapy.
KASTNEROVÁ, Drahomíra
The baccalaureate thesis deals with the use of Vojta induction therapy for the treatment of children suffering from various degrees of motor disability ranging from the mildest one up to poliomyelitis, and furthermore with how the mother responds to the child's disability and to the need of intensive exercise. The Vojta principle is understood as the most effective way of therapy in these children. The main aim of the thesis was to evaluate the treatment efficacy precisely according to Vojta, and to determine the mother's emotiveness during the treatment. The respondents included thirty mothers of children in the age up to 18 months that came to my office for exercises. The theoretic part describes facts related to this paediatric disease, which include etiology, its symptoms, clinical image, diagnostics, prevention, the treatment itself, and the role of the family and the mother in caring for the disabled child. In terms of methodology, the practical part is supported by the principles of qualitative- quantitative research based on secondary data analysis and direct observation. Two questionnaires were used as the means to complete a partial goal of the thesis, thus to analyze the mothers' emotions during the child's therapy according to Vojta - Zung Anxiety Self-Assessment Scale and my own questionnaire. Kinesiological assessment of spontaneous motility, of the quality and quantity of physical posture in the development of stand up mechanisms confirmed objective improvement in all respondents after the therapy according to Vojta, which is evidenced by the case report attached. The research indicated reduced anxiety levels of the mothers after three months of exercises with the child using the Vojta method. Certain aspects, which include the frequency, dosage, timely initiation of therapy, proper guidance of the parents by the physiotherapist and the parents' approach to the therapy, also exert an effect on the efficacy of Vojta therapy.

A psychomotor development of children permanently placed in day nurseries
HANELOVÁ, Kateřina
The thesis is focused on the influence of day nursery on a psychomotor development of a child. The work is divided in two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part describes the psychomotor development of children under three years as well as an influence of a family and peers on socialization of a child. Further, there are described nurseries and their development in our republic in this part. The theoretical part is concluded with a presentation of a specific nursery. My practical part attends to the research of children in E. Pittera´s day nursery in České Budějovice. Nine children have been observed during three different guided trainings and at a free activity. The observation took place twice. The distance between the first and the second observation was three months. Nursery means the advancement for a child particularly in the development of relations to other children, however, a deciding part of the education rests upon a family.

VOJTA PRINCIPLE IN THE PHYSIOTHERAPY OF LOCOMOTIVE DISORDERS BY THE CHILDREN´S NEUROLOGICAL PATIENTS
KADLECOVÁ, Jana
My bachelor thesis deals with reflexology in relation to treatment of children with cerebral palsy (CP). As the Vojta method has been considered the most effective for treatment of patients suffering from any form of cerebral palsy, I have chosen as the main objective of my thesis the evaluation of effectiveness of treatment with the Vojta method. The respondents were two clients of the Arpida center for rehabilitation of handicapped people, who were undergoing treatment for triparetic and diparetic form of cerebral palsy. In the theoretical part I described facts about the disorder, including its etiology, symptoms, clinical manifestations but particularly diagnostics, prevention and treatment. Subsequently, I described the essence of the Vojta method as a diagnostic and therapeutic system. The practical part used a method of qualitative research, based on a secondary analysis of data and direct observation. The monitoring included a standard observation test Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and ADL test. To meet one partial objective of the thesis, i.e. analysis of experience of parents with treatment of CP using the Vojta method, I used a method of semi-structured interview. The examination of spontaneous mobility and the quality and quantity of body posture in the development of erective mechanisms has confirmed improvement in both the respondents after the applied therapy using the Vojta method, which has been demonstrated in the final kinesiology analysis. The case studies have shown that effectiveness of the therapy using the Vojta method is influenced by certain aspects, such as frequency, dosing, early beginning of the therapy, proper management of parents by the physiotherapist and the parents´ attitude to the therapy. The Vojta method represents a good basis for treatment of children with cerebral palsy but the rehabilitation shall be always an integral process. In conclusion of my thesis I have recommended to monitor clients in their development by using retardation quotient calculations.

Maternal awareness of psychomotor development of the physiological newborn
LUSKOVÁ, Michaela
Every mother wants to give her child as much care as possible. Her care in the neonatal period is of special importance, because it may influence her child?s following development. It is essential that mothers be sufficiently informed about the newborn?s psychomotor development, and they should know that support may be started from the very first moment after the childbirth. The theoretical part of my thesis is focused on the knowledge about the psychomotor development of newborns and infants, about sensual perception of newborns, abilities and the importance of a mother?s first contact with her new-born child immediately after the child is born. The practical part deals with expectant mothers? knowledge about the correct development of newborns. Further, the practical part deals with interviews conducted with obstetricians who lead courses for future mothers. To process the question and achieve the objectives laid down, I had chosen the quantitative and qualitative research method. The quantitative and qualitative research was carried out by means of deep interviewing. I defined two objectives, and a hypothesis and a research question connected with these objectives. The first objective was focused on finding out whether mothers in the postpartum wards were informed about the physiological psychomotor development of newborns, and the second objective focused on finding out whether obstetricians were interested, within the courses for future mothers, in educating pregnant women about psychomotor development of newborns. Both objectives were fulfilled. I defined a hypothesis and a research question. Hypothesis 1 says ?Mothers in the postpartum wards are informed about the psychomotor development of newborns ?, and the research question is ?To what extent are obstetricians ready to include the education of expectant mothers about psychomotor development of newborns, within the courses for future mothers?? Hypothesis 1 was not confirmed, and it was found out in the second part of the research that three of four obstetricians are not ready to include the questions of psychomotor development of newborns in their courses for expectant mothers. The theoretical part forms a basis of a brochure for mothers, which sums up the basic information about psychomotor development of newborns.
