Processing and Visualization of Diagnostic Data from a Bionic Upper Limb Prosthesis
Mahdalík, Ondřej ; Lazúr, Juraj (referee) ; Hynek, Jiří (advisor)
Bionické protézy se běžně používají k tomu, aby pacientům pomohly efektivněji vykonávat každodenní činnosti. Zahrnují různé metody získávání vstupu od uživatele a používají elektromotory k ovládání prstů a/nebo jiných částí končetiny. Bohužel míra odmítnutí protézy dosahuje v průměru 44 % [64], což znamená, že téměř polovina pacientů přestane protézu používat. Protéza Z-Arm od společnosti Z-Bionics se pokouší řešit nízkou míru akceptace mimo jiné tím, že zaznamenává diagnostické údaje a pomáhá pacientovi, když detekuje nesprávné používání nebo možnou vadu protézy. Protože však návštěvy pacientů nejsou dostatečně časté, aby specialisté získali aktuální diagnostické údaje, je třeba navrhnout vhodný způsob jejich získávání na dálku. Jako řešení byla implementována mobilní aplikace využívající Bluetooth ke komunikaci s protézou doprovázená rozšířením interní webové aplikace o nové stránky, koncové body API a databázi MongoDB. Ačkoli testování s pacienty stále probíhá, první dojmy zaměstnanců a pacientů jsou vesměs pozitivní a naznačují možné zlepšení komfortu při používání protézy.

Education of diabetic patient with diabetic food after amputation
MELICHAROVÁ, Zuzana
This bachelor thesis is focused on education of patients with diabetic foot syndrome with limb shortening amputation and prevention of higher amputation. The theoretical part deals with the disease diabetes mellitus, its complications, diabetic foot syndrome and education on prevention of amputation. This disease is currently prevalent and its incidence is increasing. The aim of the study was to find out who and by what method most often educates patients with diabetic foot syndrome about prevention of amputation, in what way patients perceive shortcomings on the part of education and to map their knowledge about prevention of diabetic foot. A quantitative method of investigation was used for this study and data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire which was filled by a total of 30 respondents. The research sample consisted of 30 respondents (100 %). The results show that 24 people (80 %) are educated about amputation prevention by both a nurse and a doctor and 6 people (20 %) by a doctor only. The form of education was oral and written for 21 respondents (70 %) and oral only, in the form of an interview for 9 people (30 %). The biggest barriers to education were lack of time for 13 respondents (43 %), inappropriate environment for 9 respondents (30 %), lack of self-will to listen to the educator for 7 people (23 %), and lack of empathy from the educator for 3 people (10 %). 10 respondents (33 %) described their knowledge of prevention as good, 19 respondents (63 %) described their knowledge as normal and 1 respondent (3 %) described their knowledge as poor. The contribution of this bachelor's thesis can be pointing out the shortcomings in education and trying to eliminate them. This thesis contains an overview of recommendations that should be followed by patients with diabetic foot syndrome, so it can also serve as an educational material for nurses and diabetic patients.

Design of mechanism for pronation and supination of the upper limb prostheses
Rebenda, David ; Košťál, David (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
The goal of of this work is to propose a mechanism for pronation and supination of the upper limb prosthesis and its subsequent implementation of functional prototype. The teoretical part summarizes the basic types of forearm amputation and the effect of restricting rotation of the forearm. It also describes the basic distribution of upper limb prostheses and drive types. Construction design includ complete technical documentation is made in Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013 and Rhinoceros 5.0 SR8. The prototype is made of aluminium and ABS plastic.

Kinematic analysis of movement of cyclist with transtibial prosthesis.
Stoklásek, Pavel ; Mazůrek, Ivan (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
This work is aiming to the area of biomechanics and deals with the experimental finding of appropriate kinematic ratios of crank mechanism on racing bicycle and transtibial prosthesis of racing cyclists with an assessment of kinematic ratios depending on the overall athletic performance. The primary aim of the work is investigation of the impact of inappropriate existing kinematic ratios of leg prosthesis and crank mechanism on the kinematics and dynamics of top athlete. The work presents experiments that proposes find out appropriate kinematic ratio of the length of kinematic members and possibility to improve overall athletic performance. The measurement is supplemented about cycling analysis of racer realized via cameras tracking system and measuring muscle activity by EMG. The work also includes a description of impact of various factors on cycling.

Mechanical upper limb prosthesis
Koukal, Ondřej ; Čížek, Petr (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
This thesis elaborates on design and fabrication of an artificial mechanical upper limb prototype for transradial amputations, i. e. for patients with stump between elbow and wrist joints. The artificial limb is designed for use in a wide spectrum of patients. Therefore, the main components are designed to be applicable to smaller as well as larger hand dimensions. The artificial mechanical limb is designed to be controlled by the other hand of a patient and enables grasping of objects via cylindrical and hook grip. Fingers are driven by tension springs and can be locked in extension. Clenching can be initiated by pressing a button, which unlocks the fingers, thus an object can be grasped. Wrist joint is adjustable when pressed a release button. Forearm joint is locked by preloaded spring. The lock of the forearm joint is released by sufficient torque. New position of the forearm joint is locked automatically when the torque is not being applied. Prototypes of the artificial mechanical upper limb were manufactured by using of rapid prototyping technologies (FDM, SLM) as well as CNC milling machine. All parts of the artificial limb were designed with regard to manufacturability by conventional methods such as casting, injection and the like. The artificial limb prototype had been designed on 3D data basis of a specific patient, who already has tested the prototype. Following materials were used on the prototype: ABS plastic, SikaBlock M940 polyurethane, aluminium and 316L stainless steel.
