Michálková, Nikol ; Krivošíková, Mária (advisor) ; Nováková, Olga (referee)
Name, Surname: Nikol Michálková Thesis supervisor: Bc. Mária Krivošíková, M.Sc. Title: Executive function assessment in patients with acquired brain damage: Translation and clinical use of the "Weekly Calendar Planning Activity" Abstract: Executive functions are absolutely essential for everyday life and when they are violated, a person is often severely limited in all areas of their life. People with a disorder of these functions tend to have problems, for example with starting an activity and planning individual steps, or are unable to complete the activity correctly and efficiently. Executive functions are localized primarily in the area of the frontal lobes and when they are damaged, an executive deficit is manifested. Clinically, the impairment of executive functions manifests itself in very diverse ways. The degree and severity of the disability depends on many factors, such as the etiology of the acquired brain damage, its location or education of the patient. The aim of this bachelor's thesis is the one-way translation of the "Weekly Calendar Planning Activity" test from English to Czech language and its subsequent verification in practice on selected patients with acquired brain damage. This is a so-called performance test that evaluates executive functions using an activity (filling in a...

This diploma thesis deals with the topic of the use of the dual task in neurorehabilitation in patients with aquired brain injury. Its main goal was to create a program using dual task procedures, which was subsequently applied in a cognitively focused daily rehabilitation stationary of the The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the General Hospital and the First Medical Faculty of Charles University. Another goal was to provide settings for using the conditions of the program, its evaluation and finding out whether it was applied to the patient to improve some of the ADL. The research part of the work is processed by the method of qualitative evaluation research through the elaboration of one case study and evaluation of the program by a decision evaluation model. Based on a comprehensive search, a therapeutic program was developed and evaluated. It includes three levels of primary motor tasks and secondary cognitive tasks divided according to specific cognitive functions. This is a pilot study to further investigate the effect of the use of the dual task in people with aquired brain injury.

Pepřová, Tereza ; Krivošíková, Mária (advisor) ; Tichá, Zuzana (referee)
Title: Evaluation of executive functions in patients with acquired brain damage: translation and clinical use of the "Executive Function Performance Test" Abstract: Patients with acquired brain damage that have affected the frontal lobes usually develop a deficit in executive function (Kulišťák, 2017). Within self-care activities, they are limited for example in initiation, organization, sequencing, emotional control, memory, or self-evaluation. Occupational therapists can use a range of standardized tests to describe the extent of the deficit and select an appropriate rehabilitation. Executive Function Performance Test, which I used in my Bachelor's thesis, is one test from this category. The aim of the Bachelor thesis was the clinical evaluation of executive functions in patients with acquired brain damage using the Executive Function Performance Test. The minor goal was the one-way translation of the Executive Function Performance Test to the Czech language and the subsequent adaptation of the tasks for Czech patients. Furthermore, the Bachelor thesis contains a description of screening tests, clinical tests, and other standardized tests that are evaluating executive function. As well as a description of the executive functions in healthy adults. The practical part of the thesis contains a description of...
