Minaříková, Olga ; Krawczyk, Petr (referee) ; Zamazal, Jan (referee) ; Zdařil, Zdeněk (referee) ; Zvonek, Miroslav (advisor)
This work deals with a new approach of designing ortho-prosthetic devices in terms of mechanical solution and innovative design. The work was addressed to a specific patient with congenital malformation of upper limbs called phocomelia. A custom-made compensatory aid was made on basis of personal consultations and meetings on specialized workplace; however the aid was built in a way and from parts for other kind of disability. As it turned out, the use of this equipment is associated with many complications, and therefore as a result, this solution proved as unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, thanks to this compensation aid it was possible to specify the problems, to reveal important patterns and highlight the needs for development of entirely new and unique aid designed for patients with phocomelia disability. The work is based on these findings and knowledge acquired from bibliographic search in the field of orthotics, prosthetics, assistive devices and prosthetic equipment. A complete redesign was done with the aim to eliminate all detected problems. The presented result is a unique tool for people with specific congenital disability of upper limbs, with working label 4TE.

Primary and secondary prevention of birth defects and their social impact
POUZAROVÁ, Klára
Bachelor thesis on topic "Primary and secondary prevention of developmental defects and their social impact" deal with prevention before conception and in prenatal period. It also goes in for various types of screenings which are used for detection of congential developmental defects. This bachelor thesis also discuss the social impact on inclusion of people with congential developmental defects and possibility of employment of young adults. Bachelor thesis is divided into two parts theoretical and practical one. Theoretical part is focused on origin of developmental defects, genetics, developmental defects themselves and primary and secondary prevention of them. Goal of practical part is to found out the frequency of developmental defects of children of the Czech republic, also finding out current forms of primary and secondary prevention and the social impact of developmental defects. Another goal of this thesis is to found out the quality of life of families, children and young adults with developmental defects and the last one is to determine the possibility of employment of people with developmental defect. Research of life quality (questionnaire PedsQL) shows that the best quality of life in terms of health have people with orofacil cleft. From interviews with those people came out that the most crutial part was after their birth, when they had to visit specialized clinics in order to undergo the surgery of cleft. Right behind them, according to results of HRQOL, are girls with Down syndrome, who are capable of socialization with others, but from statements of their mothers came out, they will never be able of independent life because of associated mental retardation. Next place is taken by informant with phocomelia and the worst merit HRQOL came out by informants with cleft spine. It is necessary to take into consideration that everyone of them have a different type of cleft spine. One of them is fully dependant on care of his mother, other young adult girl suffers from health issues, but can take care of herself. The last goal of thesis is to find out about their possibilities to join the work process. Respondents were rather young and taking their age into consideration, we can't tell how they will or won't be able to find and keep a job. Research shows us that physical and mental condition play a big role in it. In case of associated mental retardation mothers of girls decided their daughters won't ever be able to go to work as healthy people.

Integration of a student with severe physical disability with special focus on physical education
Zerzán, Petr ; Vařeková, Jitka (advisor) ; Prokešová, Eva (referee)
Title: Integration of a student with severe physical disability with special focus on physical education Objectives: The aim of this thesis is using a case study to point out possibilities of integration of a student with severe physical disability, specifically phocomelia, into Physical education. Methods: Due to the uniqueness of the issue, a casuistry or a case study was chosen. Interviews, documentation analysis, questionnaires and observation were used for a data acquisition. Results: Results imply that a partial integration of a student with phocomelia is possible. It is always necessary to know the specifics of a physical disability. The output of our research represent lessons that the student with phocomelia took part in. Consequently, we found peer-tutoring, modified contents of education and a paralel individual education as a beneficial practice. These principles of adapted physical education had an effect of the student's cooperation with the class. They gave support to his empowerment as well. We also extended the student's experience with various physical activities that can variegate his free time activities. Keywords: phocomelia, integration, physical education, high school, student with severe physical disability
