BACHELOR THESIS ABSTRACT Author: Veronika Vícenová Supervisor: Ing. Bc. Adéla Slámová Title: Use of vestibular rehabilitation in patients after stroke Abstract: The thesis focuses on the application of Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) in the treatment of Cerebrovascular accident (CVA).

The thesis constitutes theoretical and practical parts. The former part is divided into 4 sections. The first section discusses the issue of CVA. The second one describes the vestibular system. The third section provides an insight to findings of VRT. The last section summarises the key concepts of postural stability. The practical part contains case history of three patients diagnosed with CVA and related balance disorders. Special rehabilitation program reflecting VRT principles was designed based on patients'...
