The effect of regular training in Locomat system changing the stereotype of gait of patient after cerebrovascular accident
Lang, Michal ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Title: The effect of regular training in Locomat system changing the stereotype of gait of patients after the cerebrovascular accident Objectives: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate whether it is appropriate to use the Locomat system in therapy of gait of patients after the cerebrovascular accident, what is the effect of regular training of these patients in the Locomat system on their stereotype of gait and whether the training in the Locomat system of patients after the cerebrovascular accident is more effective in comparison with other physiotherapeutic practices. Methods: The thesis was processed in the Kladruby Rehabilitation Centre on 14 probands, who were divided after the entrance examination in order to form two equivalent homogenous groups. The first group of seven members was experimental, the second one was control. At the beginning of the study the rate of gait disorder was specified at each proband using standardized method of Wisconsin Gait Scale, they also underwent 10 - Meter Walk Test and 6 - Minute Walk Test. Afterwards all the probands absolved a three-week lasting standard regime of rehabilitation. The probands of research groups absolved except the rehabilitation regime during this time period regularly 5x times a week fifteen 30-minute lasting therapy units in the...

Neuro Biomechanical principles in robot-assisted gait training for pediatric patients
Žarković, Dragana ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Mařík, Ivo (referee) ; Lopot, František (referee)
Title: Neuro Biomechanical principles in robot-assisted gait training for pediatric patients Background: There is a lack of data on how robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) contributes to gait changes in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: This research study investigated efficacy of a 4-week RAGT intervention in twelve ambulatory spastic diparesis children with CP (10.8±2.6 years old; 2 girls and 10 boys; Gross Motor Function Classification System I-III) by using computerized gait analysis (CGA); passive joint range of motion (PROM); selective control assessment of lower limbs evaluation (SCALE), and the six-minute walk test (6MWT). Pre-post RAGT intervention data of children with CP was compared with the normative data curves of typically developing children by cross-correlation, and further statistically evaluated by a Wilcoxon test. Results: Significant pre-post RAGT intervention differences (p<0.05) that indicate more physiological gait comparing to the normative data curves were found. Biceps femoris, rectus femoris, and tibialis anterior decreased activity almost across all gait cycle phases. Medial gastrocnemius decreased activity mainly in terminal stance, mid-swing, and terminal swing phases. Internal hip rotations and foot progress angles decreased almost across all gait cycle...

Utilization of robotic systems for gait training in neurorehabilitation
Krejčová, Lucie ; Senohrábková, Eva (advisor) ; Janatová, Markéta (referee)
Name: Lucie Krejčová Supervisor: Mgr. Eva Vítová Opponent: Title of bachelor thesis: Utilization of robotic systems for gait training in neurorehabilitation Abstract This work is dedicated to robotic systems, that are used in neurorehabilitation for walk training. Locomotor training is ranked as number one by most neurological patients. Huge demand for gait encourages the creation and development of new technologies such as exoskeletons. The basic question in my work is if robotic gait systems are efficient in rehabilitation. The work is consisted from two parts, part one is theoretical and part two is practical. The theoretical part is conceived as a research benefiting mostly from foreign studies and articles which are focused on robotic systems. This part provides an overview of robotic systems according to various ways of categorizing and their brief description. The separated chapter is devoted to the Lokomat system. The question about efficacy of robotic systems in neurorehabilitation for gait training. This basic question of this work has been answered on the basis of informations from foreign studies. Robotic systems in neurorehabilitation have been found to be effective. Key words: robotic systems, Lokomat, gait, exosceleton

Reactions of cardiovascular system to locomat therapy in patients with lesion of the spinal cord
Stráníková, Kateřina ; Radvanský, Jiří (advisor) ; Kříž, Jan (referee)
Introduction - This thesis focuses on the reaction of cardiovascular system to Lokomat therapy in patients with lesion of the spinal cord. It observes reaction of the heart rate and systolic blood pressure and compares with the cardiovascular response to the exercise on an upper body ergometer. Methods - We recruited 25 patients with spinal cord lesion under Th 5 and 4 patients with lesion above Th 5. The blood pressure was measured. The heart rate was measured by by ambulatory blood pressure monitor and an auscultatory method using a mercury manometer and a stethoscope a sporttester. Patients were measured during the Locomat therapy and the exercise on an upper body ergometer during the 6-minute arm test. Results - The parameters of systolic blood pressure and heart rate had a tendency to increase with the peak in 25th minute of the therapy. There was no significant difference between the patients with lesion under or above Th5. The parameters of heart rate were significantly higher on the upper body ergometer than on Lokomat. Conclusion - The Lokomat therapy does have a positive influence to cardiovascular system of patients with complete or incomplete spinal cord injury. When using this approach, the most important benefit is the possibility to activate all parts of body. Keywords: spinal cord injury,...
