Driving Simulator and Its Use in the Rehabilitation of People with Acquired Brain Injury
Strubinská, Šárka ; König, Jan (advisor) ; Nováková, Olga (referee)
DIPLOMA THESIS ABSTRACT Name, surname: Bc. Šárka Strubinská Supervisor: Mgr. Jan König Consultant: Mgr. Eliška Burdová, Mgr. Bc. Jitka Bonková Sýkorová Title: Driving Simulator and Its Use in the Rehabilitation of People with Acquired Brain Injury Abstract: The diploma thesis describes the utilization of a driving simulator for manual control in the rehabilitation of individuals with acquired brain injury. The main objective of this thesis is to determine the feasibility of using a driving simulator and its potential to increase the likelihood of returning to driving by clients with acquired brain injury in the chronic stage. The first sub-objective is to investigate the influence of driving simulator training on attention and the potential to increase the likelihood of returning to driving by clients with acquired brain injury in the chronic stage. The second sub-objective is to determine whether the proposed set of tests is appropriately designed as a criterion for inclusion in the driving simulator research. The theoretical part summarizes the knowledge about acquired brain injury and its consequences, cognitive functions, impairments, car driving, and legislative regulations or possibilities for driving skills testing. Furthermore, this section provides information about rehabilitation by acquired brain...

Identificators hypokinetic load by driving
Tluchořová, Terezie ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Lopot, František (referee)
Title: Hypokinetic load Identificators by driving vehicle Objectives: Development and testing of methods for determining changes in the mechanical parameters of the axial system of professional long-distance drivers. Design and testing procedure for clinical and physical examination sensitive to changes, that occur due to vibration and static load when driving the truck. Methods: TVS method, morphology of the spine, measurement of vibration exposure Results: TVS method that was used in the thesis has proved to provide information on the resonant frequency of the resonant frequency and the total attenuation of the spine with sufficient precision to ride their influence was clearly identifiable. Used accelerometer measurement of oscillations vibrational excitation spine has also proved applicable and provides objective parameters. Keywords: TVS method, vibration, hypokinesia, acceleration, driving, LBP

The issue of driving a car in patients after stroke - the possibility of occupational therapy intervention
Málková, Kristýna ; Svobodová, Tereza (advisor) ; Uhlířová, Jaromíra (referee)
The issue of driving a car after stroke is getting increasingly common, especially because of the high stroke incidence concerning productive age patients. Nowadays, driving is considered a matter of course which intervenes our leisure time activities and work performance. Self-sufficiency and independency of a patient is one of the domains of occupational therapy, which is why the occupational therapist is a part of an interdisciplinary team. The theoretical part of the thesis defines terms relating to stroke and further neuropsychological deficits. It describes problematics of returning to automobile driving and legislative aspects. Possibilities of occupational therapy interventions relating to driving are proposed as well. The practical part of the thesis stands on a survey research, conducted in the Czech Republic and Belgium. The survey was aimed at occupational therapists who work with neurological patients and focuses on the issue of returning to driving and possible occupational therapy interventions. The conclusion also describes and compares practical Czech and Belgian occupational therapy with patients who have undergone a stroke. Key words: stroke, driving a car, occupational therapy, rehabilitation

Use of the VTS(Vienna Test System) on long-term marihuana users in relation with driving a car
Blažke, Jana ; Niederlová, Markéta (advisor) ; Uhlář, Pavel (referee)
Purpose: To verify that the psychodiagnostics Vienna Test System (VTS) can be used to test the critical level performance characteristics, abilities and skills which are necessary to drive a car, or which are affecting it, on long-term marijuana users. Methods: Two semi-structured interviews, questionnaire, administration of the test battery VTS. Conclusion: It is possible to construct a test battery to be used on long-term marijuana users, which can determine whether the subject is theoretically able to drive even under the influence of THC. However, this test battery must be subjected to a quantitative verification. Keywords: computerized diagnostic, VTS (Vienna Test System), driving car, long-term marihuana users
