Švaříčková, Tamara ; Neuwirthová, Svatava (advisor) ; Černý, Pavel (referee)
Title: Case study of orthotic - prosthetic care for a patient with a diagnosis of transfemoral amputation Aims: The aim of this paper is a case study of a patient with a diagnosis of transfemoral amputation. The main objective is to prepare a comprehensive overview related to the issue of lower limb amputations and, based on the examination and clinical interviews, to produce a device that best suits the patient's needs. The process of prosthetic care from the examination of the patient to the fitting of the new prosthesis is described. Methods: This thesis has theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part, professional framework of the problem is presented based on a literature research and my experience in practice. It focuses on the anatomy and function of the lower limb, gait cycle, amputation procedure and prosthetic care of the stump. Also, it provides an overview of prosthetic components that could be chosen when indicating a femoral prosthesis. In the practical part, the course of four patient visits is described, from the collection of the measurement materials, through the manufacturing of the stump socket, testing and adjustments, to the handover of the device. The practical part is documented verbally and photographically as it took place during my professional practice....

Rejthar, Karel ; Mikšíčková, Petra (advisor) ; Černý, Pavel (referee)
Title: Transfemoral prosthesis, construction types of sockets Objectives: The aim of this work is to create a comprehensive view of the thigh amputation issue and a subsequent rehabilitation and prosthetic care. The main objective is to compare the different types of sockets. In conclusion, I would like to describe the manufacturing process of scanning measurement data for the socket production. Methods: The basis for the writing of the thesis is a literature review. I also used the knowledge gained in seminars organized by professional firms. For a complete information obtained I used a method of an informal interviews with experts. Results: I believe that the anatomical socket allows better comfort for the patient. Keywords: transfemoral amputation, prosthesis, transfemoral socket, prosthetic components
