Creation and Application of the grip test in patients after stroke
Filipová, Kateřina ; Svěcená, Kateřina (advisor) ; Svobodová, Tereza (referee)
The main aim of this bachelor's work was to create a grip test wich could be afterwards applied on patients after a stroke. An easy and time undemanding test was created whose evaluating standart is the number of achieved points. This test is used to find out the patient's functional condition in a grip area. It tests five kinds of grips. There evaluated stages of reaching, gripping, holding and releasing in each grip. The bachelor's work is divided into two parts: practical and theoretical. The theoretical part describes not only the impact of a stroke but olso the impact on the upper limb, hand and its functions and grips. It also describes testing and assessment. The practical part describes the time necessary to do the project, its realisation and application of the grip test on patients after stroke. This part also shows the results of testing. Key words: Stroke Assessment of hand grip Upper limb Grip test Grip

Determining reliability of Grip Test for patients after stroke
Kvapilová, Barbora ; Hoidekrová, Kristýna (advisor) ; Krivošíková, Mária (referee)
Standardization of motor tests has recently been on the rise in all healthcare professions, including occupational therapy. This diploma thesis deals with the determination of test - retest reliability of the Grip test in patients after stroke. The Grip test was developed at the Rehabilitační ústav Kladruby in the 1980s, based on the need of occupational therapists to evaluate the grip function of the hand. The theoretical part deals with grip, evaluation in occupational therapy and standardization. For the practical part, 60 patients were tested in the subacute stage of stroke. The sample contained 36 men and 24 women aged 35-65 years. Patients had different degrees of paresis, from light to very severe. The testing took place at two different times. The first testing took place in the 1st week of hospitalization in the Rehabilitační ústav Kladruby. Retest was performed 3 weeks after the first test by the same person. The data of both measurements were correlated for total score Grip test and for 21 test items separately. The Grip test correlation coefficient is 0.89. The correlation was higher than 0.7 for all 21 items. In most cases, the correlation was 0.8 - 0.9, which means a high level of test - retest reliability. Furthermore, the research part contains an interview with Mrs. Anna Horká, who...
