The use of Mirror therapy in occupational therapy
Hoidekrová, Kristýna ; Lupienská, Natálie (advisor) ; Svěcená, Kateřina (referee)
The aim of this study was to develop occupational therapy manual Mirror therapy. In the Czech Republic, this method is almost never used, despite the excellent results of foreign studies. The method uses the visual perception received from the mirror, where you can see the reflection of moving upper limb. Through the visual pathway information is fed to the brain, where due to the plasticity of the brain leads to the creation of new income center. Efferent pathways, the output information led to the affected upper limb, which in most cases is not only to improve motor, but also sensitive components. An important advantage is the possibility of applying this therapy to a wide range of diagnoses, which can include neurological disorders, rheumatic diseases, post-surgical procedures such as amputation and transfer, the sensory re-education, reduction of pain. In the occupational therapy this method is mostly used to train the selective phase of grips, which are necessary for proper implementation of the activities of daily living (ADL). During the therapy we can use therapeutic aids as well but normal daily-used object are preferable. The big advantage is the possibility to use this therapy in the patient's home environment, hence the for education of occupational therapist is needed. The theoretical...

Grips training supported by an occupational therapist using music therapy techniques
Zaňková, Veronika ; Gerlichová, Markéta (advisor) ; Čábelková, Alžběta (referee)
The bachelor thesis called Grips Training supported by an occupational therapist using music therapy techniques is divided into two parts - the theoretical and the practical one. The theoretical part deals with an introduction to the occupational therapy and music therapy, the music therapy techniques and their use in occupational therapy, upper extremity (discusses its importance, types and stages of handles) and basic information to the central paresis. The practical part processed 2 case reports of patients with quadriplegia after spinal injuries and overview of therapies, including photographs. The evaluation was performed based on observation and orientation testing. The aim is to determine whether music therapy techniques can be used to train grips.

Physiotherapy in posttraumatic adhesive capsulitis
HOMER, Jakub
The topic of the thesis is the syndrome of the frozen shoulder which is characteristic for it´s clinical features and typical process. The clients are disabled mostly by the cruel pain and rather limited motion. The disease has a strong influence to mentality of the client because of it´s long process and unpredictable results of the therapy. There is no return of the same range of motion guarantied which were there before the disease started. The thesis is divided into four main chapters. The first is theoretic and it deals with anatomy, biomechanics and kineziology of the shoulder joint. The second chapter explains adhesive capsulis, history of the disease, it´s origin, diagnostic and possibilities of the therapy. The conclusion of the first part brings the chapter on kinds of clinical check up of upper limb. While the second part of the thesis gives the aim, the third part brings the list of methods included in the research which ran in the Aurora spa in the town of Trebon. There were two clients present in the qualitative research. The lists of the used literature, key words and abbreviations are a necessary part of the thesis. There are of course attached pictures included. It is possible to use the thesis as a study and education literature as well as a compare material in the clinical praxis. It should not be used as a template to the praxis of therapy in any way.

The Upper Limb Prosthesis And Its Impact On A Patient's Mental State
Štechová, Eva ; Bachura,, Marek (referee) ; Zdařil, Zdeněk (advisor)
Bachelor's thesis deals with myoelectric upper limb prosthesis and it's effect on mental state of the patient. It was created as a collaboration with company OTTOBOCK SLOVAKIA s.r.o, company that distributes prostheses and other devices to help improve or preserve mobility for disabled patients. I chose one of their products, Greifer, and decided to do a redesign. Greifer is a prosthesis made for delicate work with small objects on one hand, on the other for harder work that requires a firm grip. I created the design with regards to ergonomics, functionality and aesthetic quality. My aim was to create a product that a patient would easily get used to, and it would not draw negative attention of other people, which would have negative effect on a mental health of the patient. Functionally I followed the today's Greifer system provided by Ottobock at first, but then I added the function of rotation around spherical joint, inspired by an actual human wrist joint.

Biomechanical study of the upper extremity plates
Linhart, Lukáš ; Marcián, Petr (referee) ; Florian, Zdeněk (advisor)
This work deals with the possibilities and principles of fixation of fractures of the upper limb. It is divided into five chapters. The introductory chapter discusses the biomechanics and its inclusion in contemporary science. The next chapter describes a brief history of healing and fixation of fractures of the upper limb. The third chapter is devoted to the anatomy of the upper limb, knowledge of which is the effective fixation of fractures of the upper extremity necessary. Another chapter is devoted to the classification and description of the type of osteosynthesis internal fixation of the upper limb. Furthermore, this chapter discusses the principles and mechanisms of LCP fixation. The last fifth point is detailed study of specific humeral locking plate. To create a computational model was used SolidWorks software and ANSYS Workbench.

Special features of nursing care for the patients after fingers replantation.
KREBSOVÁ, Terezie
Abstract As a relatively high number of amputation injuries of fingers leading to subsequent replantation occur recently, and the nursing care about these patients is very specific in some spheres, I chose the topic ?specifics of nursing care for patients after replantation of fingers? for my bachelor thesis. As duly and professionally provided nursing care is very important and contributes to successful treatment and patient recovery to normal life after replantation I am convinced that it is necessary for nurses caring about the patients affected this way know the correct treatment principles. The goal of the thesis was to identify the specifics of nursing care for patients after finger replantation, and another goal was to find out how nurses cope with nursing care about patients after finger replantation. The research was based on combination of quantitative and qualitative methods and was focused on some fields of the care about these patients on one hand and on the fact whether nurses apply the nursing approach focused on patient needs on the other. The quantitative research was based on an anonymous questionnaire, the qualitative research on observation. The combination was chosen to enable comparison of theoretical knowledge of nurses with the practical activity. The research sample consisted of nurses from the accident and plastic surgery ward. Nurses from the standard treatment section, from the outpatient surgery and from the ICU were asked for cooperation. Hypothesis 1: Nurses know the principles of stump and amputate treatment ? was confirmed. Hypothesis: Nurses know the principles of nursing care about patients after finger replantation ? was confirmed. Hypothesis 3: Nurses plan the care process focused on patient needs after finger replantation ? was not confirmed. Question 1/ What problems do nurses have in providing nursing care for patients after finger replantation? Nurses do not have problems with providing nursing care for patients after finger replantation. Question 2/ To what extent do nurses caring about patients after finger replantation apply the nursing care process? Not all the nurses apply the nursing care process to the full extent. I found during working on the thesis that very few available materials intended for nurses existed on this topic. This is why a brochure including the principles of due nursing care for patients after finger replantation was issued upon the thesis for nurses caring for patients with this problem. A nursing standard, which is still unavailable, could also be elaborated.
