Comparison of standardized gait evaluation tests for post-stroke patients from physiotherapy point of view
Koberová, Monika ; Tichá, Monika (advisor) ; Drábová, Zuzana (referee)
Title of bachelor thesis: Comparison of standardized gait evaluation tests for post-stroke patients from physiotherapy point of view Abstract: This bachelor thesis deals with a comparison of standardized gait evaluation tests for post-stroke patients. The thesis consists of theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is focused on stroke, walking in general, characteristics of hemiparetic gait, standardization and standardized tests. The practical part provides the comparison of standardized gait evaluation tests for post-stroke patients from the viewpoint of essential characteristics and qualitative point of view. This part also contains case reports of two patients, in which the gait was evaluated using the selected standardized tests (10 Meter Walk Test, 2 Minute Walk Test, Timed Up and Go, Dynamic Gait Index) and one non-standardized test (Emory Functional Ambulation Profile). These tests were performed at the beginning and at the end of the therapy. Their results were subsequently evaluated and compared. The interpretation of the results in the context of measurement errors, minimal detectable changes and values describing the improvement or deterioration of patient's condition is emphasized in this bachelor thesis. Key words: gait, gait assessment, standardized tests, stroke, measurement...

Effect of application of botulotoxin for change of gait in patients after brain damage with spastic dystonia
Bárdyová, Tereza ; Angerová, Yvona (advisor) ; Dědková, Miriama (referee)
Title: Effect of application of botulotoxin for change of gait in patients after brain damage with spastic dystonia Abstract: The theme of this bachelor thesis is verifying possibilities of botulinum toxin influencing the gait stereotype of patients with spastic dystonia. The thesis consists of theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part consists of research of relevant literature sources, based on which basic terms of the associated range of problems are briefly defined: muscle tone, spasticity, spastic dystonia, botulinum toxin and gait. Part of the theoretical summary also includes scales that describe muscle tone (Ashworth scale, Tardieu scale, Five-step clinical assessment by Gracies) and also tests evaluating gait stereotype (Tinetti Gait and Balance Examination, 10 Meter Walk Test, 2 Minute Walk Test, Timed Up and Go, Rivermead visual assessment of the gait). The practical part contains two case reports of patients suffering from spastic dystonia who were monitored during one cycle of the application of botulinum toxin. Degree and nature of spasticity of these patients were measured at equal intervals and then, using the selected tests, the gait stereotypes were compared at various stages of effect of botulinum toxin. Based on the obtained results, effect of this substance on gait...
