Relief of St. Christopher - haptic aid for the visually challenged people
RONOVSKÁ, Tereza
Theoretical part of the thesis, regarding the purpose of practical output (haptic aid), deals in its first sections with special pedagogy ophthalmopedies and typhlography. The second section of the thesis theoretical part analyses the theme of St. Christopher, which appears in the form of wall painting in the monastery temple of the Sacrifice of the Virgin Mary in České Budějovice. In connection with the place of occurrence, the history of the monastery is outlined. Practical part of the thesis is intended for various solutions of creating a specific haptic aid for the blind.

Orientation and mobility of individuals , who suffer from visual impairment with white stick with focus on the time of origin
TOMANOVÁ, Katarína
This bachelor thesis named "Orientation and mobility of individuals, who suffer from visual impairment with white stick to focus of origin" examines visually impaired individuals, whose sight is damaged to such a degree, that they are forced to use white stick as a compensation tool for spatial orientation. Visually handicapped people are unable to visually accept information from their surroundings, so they have to compensate this with the help of their touch and hearing senses. This can be accomplished only on condition, that there is a short distance. When there is a longer distance, they have to rely on another compensation tools, for instance white stick, which helps them to improve orientation and mobility skills. This thesis consists of three parts- theoretical one, practical one and appendix. There are five chapters in theoretical part. First chapter focus on anatomy and pathology of the organ of vision, its examination methods, sorting of congenital and acquired visual impairments and disorder of visual trajectory. The second chapter focus on person with visual impairment, especially the history of care for visually impaired, visual functions, their categories. How is the influence visual impairment that this handicap has on personal development, and finally it also describes people with visual impairment congenital and people with visual impairment acquired. The third chapter focus on counselling equipment, it define Center for early care and Special education center for people with visual impairment. The penultimate chapter focus on the spatial orientation, especially the division of areas of education, significance of spatial orientation, its sorting in the form of upbringing and orientation, principles of the movement itself and compensation tools. The last chapter further deals with history and currency of white stick, techniques of its use- like holding the stick and walking technique and who is a supposed user. Practical part was realized through qualitative research method, in order to achieve set goals. Data were collected in the form of semi structured interview and anamnesis (f. The interview was formed with prepared open questions, which focus on spatial orientation and white stick topic. Six different respondents were chosen for final data collection. Evaluation of data was carried out through analysis. All data and personal statements were at first sorted and classified and then noted into the list of results. This results are classified into charts in chapter 8.4. Evaluation od the data obtained, for better statement. List of results consist of identification data, category and diagnosis of visual impairment and also subjective opinions of respondents related to spatial orientation and white stick. In the discussion part were compared results of information given by respondents to the claim of theoretical part. The research has confirmed that white stick as a compensation tool helps visually impaired people to improve spatial orientation, also in the case of longer distance and unknown locations. Visually impaired individuals can nowadays thanks to the modern technologies get closer to the majority population of nowadays society, for instance with the possibility of more compensational tools connected to the white stick. Findings in this paper can improve general knowledge of spatial orientation, movement and white stick. It could also work as a subject for further research. After revision could be this thesis use as education material of spatial orientation and separate movement.

Rehabilitation of Ocular Patologies and Compensation of Visual Handicaps
PLÍŠKOVÁ, Kateřina
The thesis "Rehabilitation of eye pathologies and visual handicap compensation" was aimed at the visually disadvantaged. People with visual impairments cannot receive information from their surroundings visually, but must rely on other senses, especially touch and hearing. In that some assistive devices help them. They play an important role in the integration of visually impaired into society and the workforce. Tools help blind users to orientate themselves in space, to simplify the care of his person and to keep in touch with friends. The theoretical part deals with the definition of the term oftalmopedie, anatomy and physiology of the visual organ, the type of visual defects, their causes and degree of disability. As the title of this thesis suggests a description of assistive devices, which are divided into non-optical, optical, optoelectronic, information technology and other tools to facilitate the visually disadvantaged movement and work. In short, the theoretical part deals with the social and rehabilitation centers dealing with this issue. For an overview the contributions to utilities are given. The aim of this thesis is to determine how to improve the quality of life of people with visual handicaps. Research questions are established according goals. The main issue is to determine what compensatory aids are most often currently used. The second question is what ophthalmologic pathology of the respondents found. For data collection, the thesis qualitative research was used. Two methods were used. The first method of analysis documents that revealed that compensatory aids are the most in South Bohemia bought. As a second method of questioning was used semi-structured interview technique. Respondents were selected by the method of occasional selection of the examined group. The main criteria for the interviews were a person with a visual handicap and willingness to be interviewed. The sample consists of six clients. The results were evaluated using the cluster method. Results are divided into two parts. The first part is an analysis of documents obtained from Tyflokabinetu o.p.s in České Budějovice. The second part contains the subjective opinions of customers on usability of assistive devices. Results are for greater clarity divided into circuits. The first area contains the identification data of the respondents; in the following range visual defects and degree of disability of the respondents are mentioned. Other topics deal with assistive devices and latest circuit shows rehabilitation and care allowance. Discussion is also divided by headings and research questions. In the discussion of the results are compared information from respondents with the statement in the theoretical work. The results indicate that the computer is the most desired tool. According to the response to the client, we can say that the trends visually disadvantaged people are the equivalent of "healthy" population. Computers used to mediate contact with friends, searching for new information and reading written text. The use of other equipment mainly depends on the individuality of the individual. The research confirmed that aids help people not only in the orientation in space, at work and in educational facilities, but also in many other activities. Visually disadvantage can, through today's technology to tailor the majority and keep it the same step. The knowledge gained from this thesis could be used to raise awareness about mobility aids how in the case of the handicapped citizens, and even the general public and as a basis for further research.
