Downhill skiing with exarticulation of the knee joint
Hruša, Filip ; Hruša, Jan (advisor) ; Strnad, Pavel (referee)
Thesis title: Downhill skiing with exarticulation of the knee joint. Main objectives: Evaluate prosthetic options for people with exarticulation in the knee joint for downhill skiing on two skis. Goals: 1) Suggest prosthetic solutions for downhill skiing with exarticulation of the knee joint. 2) On the force measuring plate L.A.S.A.R.-Posture, measure gravity center of skier on proposed prosthetic systems and evaluate substantial features for downhill skiing. Method: The work is empirical-theoretical nature. The methods are comparative analysis and observation with subsequent description. The monitored variables were skiers center of gravity position, and angles of the ankle and the knee joint at the neutral position and the base downhill ski position on the power measuring plate L.A.S.A.R.-Posture. Becouse of complexity and uniqueness of this issue, we chose a case study. Results: In our thesis we verify that there are available prothesis in the Czech Republic, which allows to people with exarticulation of the knee joint, safe skiing on two skis.

Princ, Vladan ; Černý, Pavel (advisor) ; Půlpán, Rudolf (referee)
Title: The Comparison of Transfemoral socket Types Goals: The aim of this work is to describe the functional principals and biomechanic characteristics of transfemoral sockets and to create a complex educational text based on information from Czech and all-over-world technical bibliography. Methods: To write this work, quality research was used by means of collection and secondary analysis of data from technical documents, articles and magazines. To verify the information, the method of informal interview with an expert was used. Results: The results provide sufficient information to use this work as an educational document. Key words: amputation, transfemoral aputation, above-knee amputation, prosthetic socket, Ischial containment socket, Quadrilateral socket, M.A.S. socket, anatomical socket
