TITLE: The options of prosthetic equipment for people with unilateral transfemoral amputation and its impact on their physical capability OBJECTIVES: The aim of the work is to evaluate the effect of the used components of the prosthesis on the activity level of adults with unilateral transfemoral amputation, which are currently available on the domestic market covered by health insurance with deductibles. METHODS: The basis of the analytical part is literary research and data collection of technical data sheets. The second part of the work is qualitative research and contains case studies of five probands. The research group consisted of 5 persons with unilateral transfemoral amputation aged 49-78 years. Unstructured interview and observation methods were used for data collection. RESULTS: The result of the work is a summary of information related to the assembly of different types of TF prostheses for adults and evaluation of the relation between the level of technology used and the quality of the user's life. KEY WORD: unilateral transfemoral amputation, transfemoral prosthesis, physical capability, rehabilitation, prosthetic knee joint, prosthetic foot

Analysis of the functionality of the current transtibial prostheses
Nagy, Ondřej ; Šolc, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Černý, Pavel (referee)
1 ABSTRACT Title: Analysis of the functionality of the current transtibial prostheses Objectives: The aim of the thesis is to describe a history of the development of prosthetics from its inception to the present and describe the basic structure and distribution of lower limb prostheses. The thesis will also include analysis of functionality existing transtibial prostheses. To determine the required documents and clarify key issues: " whether transtibial prostheses are now able to fully replace the patient lost limbs" will be used poll/questionnaire . Methods: In the theoretical part, I used the literature search. I have analyzed the accumulated data from professional publications and books. In the empirical section, I did a quantitative research to determine whether transtibial prosthesis fully replace missing to the handicapped persons. Results: I think that the current prosthetics will replace to patients the functionality of the real limbs. Keywords: prostheses , leg prosthesis, femoral prosthesis , exartikulation in the knee, the development of prosthetic devices, amputation , foot, stump, construction , transtibial prosthesis
