Title: The use of dual task training in rehabilitation of patients after acquired brain injury Abscract: Patients after acquired brain damage may have a range of cognitive, motor, psychological, phatic, or sensory difficulties. These impairments impact the individual's performance in personal and instrumental activities of everyday live. Simultaneously, patients may lose functions that were previously automatic, such as the ability to maintain postural control. Therefore, they need to make more effort to consciously control movement and because of this, the ability to perform two tasks at the same time is reduced. However, the conditions of a normal day require simultaneous execution of multiple interactions. The cognitively oriented Day Care Centre of The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the General Hospital and the First Medical Faculty of Charles University includes a dual task program for patients after acquired brain injury, which focuses on training of cognitive and motor functions. The theoretical part of this thesis is addressing the issue of dual task paradigm. The aim of the practical part is to evaluate the effect of this 4week intensive program on cognitive, motor functions and self-sufficiency of individuals after acquired brain injury. To determine the effect of the dual task program,...

Changes motor functions in mouse model of cerebellar degeneration in the course of the ontogenesis
Šalomová, Martina ; Jelínková, Dana (advisor) ; Kubik-Zahorodna, Agnieszka (referee)
The cerebellum affects a number of important and complex processes in the organism. It ensures coordination, motor learning and plays an important role in cognitive and affective functions. In the case of cerebellar degeneration, we find not only the movement disorders but also behavioral abnormalities, collectively referred to as cognitive-affective syndrome. The aim of this work was to investigate motor functions during ontogenesis in animal models of hereditary cerebellar degeneration - mutant mice Lurcher and Purkinje cell degeneration using the device for quantitative gait analysis and rotarod. In addition, the effect of physical activity on the extent of ataxia and manifestations in classical behavioral tests was monitored. The results confirmed significant differences in motor skills between mutant and healthy mice; differences were also observed in some gait parameters, especially in walking speed and parameters that correlate with it. The motor functions of most groups of mice did not change during ontogenesis, pcd mice deteriorated their performance on the rotarod. The effect of physical activity was not found, with the exception of Forced swimming test. Physical activity of set intensity did not have any beneficial effect on the motoric manifestations of the mice.
