Title: Case study of ortho-prosthetic care of a patient with a diagnosis of transtibial amputation Objectives: The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to summarize theoretical knowledge about amputations of the lower limbs and to process a case study of ortho-prosthetic care of a patient with a diagnosis of transtibial amputation. Methods: The work is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with the topic of amputations and prosthetics of the lower limbs with a focus on transtibial amputation. The practical part is processed in the form of a case study of a patient after transtibial amputation in connection with diabetes mellitus. It describes the anamnesis, initial examination and protetometry, the production of the prosthesis, the static and dynamic completation and walking training with the made prosthesis. Results: The case study was completed during a month-long internship in the non- governmental medical institution named Protetika - Medica Praha. An appropriate prosthesis was made for the patient and he was ready for subsequent rehabilitation. After rehabilitation, there will be a significant improvement in the patient's quality of life. Keywords: amputation, crus, diabetes mellitus, case study, prosthesis
