Lučanská, Veronika ; Jeníček, Jakub (advisor) ; Drábová, Zuzana (referee)
Name: Veronika Lučanská Supervisor: Mgr. Jakub Jeníček Opponent: Title of bachelor thesis: Comparison of Orthotic Effect between an Ankle Foot Orthosis and a Functional Peroneal Electrostimulation on Gait in Patients after Stroke. Abstract: This bachelor's thesis is focused on comparing orthotic effect between an ankle foot orthosis and a functional peroneal electrostimulation on gait in patients after stroke. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate and compare orthotic effect of AFO and FPES. Footscan® and video analysis were both used for examining gait. This thesis consists of both theoretical and practical sections. The theoretical part contains basic knowledge on stroke and hemiparetic gait, focusing on foot-drop. It also contains a review of several studies describing the effect ofAFO and FPES. In practical section of this thesis, two different patients will be used as case studies. These patients were measured without any aid, with AFO and then again with FPES. The variables evaluated are velocity of gait, length of stance phase, movement of center of plantar pressure and gait stereotype. Data from dynamic plantography is then evaluated and compared via tables, graphs and via photos. Key words: stroke, foot-drop, functional electrostimulation, ankle foot orthosis, footscan

Effect of peroneal nerve functional electrical stimulation on gait in patients with stroke
Jeníček, Jakub ; Petr, Miroslav (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Kemlink, David (referee)
The Abstract The Title: Effect of Peroneal Nerve Functional Electrical Stimulation on Gait in Post-stroke Patients The Goal: The aim of this work was to compare two different ways of applying functional electrical stimulation of the peroneal nerve as to their impacts on the gait speed and performance and the spastic paresis of lower leg in adult patients suffering from chronic stages of stroke accompanied by foot drop. The Method: An open, randomized, controlled clinical pilot study combining elements of both controlled and pragmatic experiments in comparing two different clinical approaches to peroneal nerve functional electrical stimulation. With the first group of patients (group A, consisting of 14 subjects), the intervention was carried out as an outpatient, strictly controlled and intense training of gait with electrical stimulation over the period of four weeks, five times a week; the B-group patients (13 subjects) were all provided with their own stimulator which they applied continuously throughout all their daily routines at their homes and community over the equal period of time. The Results: The four-week intervention turned out to cause no statistically significant difference in our two groups in terms of its impact on any of the monitored parameters of the gait speed and performance as well as...

Comparison of electrostimulation systems WalkAide and NESS L300 in therapy of foot drop in patients after stroke.
Šulcová, Dominika ; Jeníček, Jakub (advisor) ; Drábová, Zuzana (referee)
This bachelor thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part provides a brief introduction into problematics of disability of stroke patients and mainly focuses on gait impairment, specifically on foot drop syndrome that affects about 20% of all stroke patients. Following section contains characterization of functional electrical stimulation and its application to the peroneal nerve, which is used in therapy of foot drop. The theoretical part is then concluded by neat description of two peroneal stimulators that are currently available in Czech Republic, systems WalkAide® and NESS L300®. The practical part includes therapy records of two stroke patients, in which both mentioned devices were used, and filled questionnaires that were directed to representatives of distributor companies. These documets focus on financial problematics of systems in question. The outcome of the practical part is a comprehensive overview that summarizes the use of both stimulators in therapy of foot drop and their accessibility for patients in Czech Republic. All gathered facts about WalkAide® and NESS L300® are then systematically compared and evaluated from the perspective of a therapist and a patient. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Functional electrical stimulation of nervus peroneus of patients after stroke
Petříčková, Kristina ; Konvalinková, Romana (advisor) ; Jeníček, Jakub (referee)
BAKALÁŘSKÉ PRÁCE V AJ Author: Kristina Petříčková Supervisor: Mgr. Romana Lavičková Opponent: Title of bachelor thesis: Functional electrical stimulation of nervus peroneus of patients after stroke Abstract: This bachelor thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part is mainly focused on the option of managing foot drop with the use of functional electrical stimulation. It provides background research of available thematical literature, information about current options of using funtional electrical stimulation and information of its combination with other types of therapy. It also provides results of research studies that have been realized and describes effects of functional electrical stimulation on different aspects of gait and function of the lower limb. Described effects are both of orthotic (immediate) and therapeutic (long-term) character. Goal of the practical part was to compare gait of one patient after stroke with no compensational device and with functional electrical stimulator and to sum-up the orthothic effect of electrostimulator. It was anticipated that both quantity and quality of gait would be improved, but there was no noted improvement in quantity. Key words: Functional electrical stimulation, foot drop, nervus peroneus, stroke, ankle-foot orthosis
