This diploma thesis deals with the topic of the use of the dual task in neurorehabilitation in patients with aquired brain injury. Its main goal was to create a program using dual task procedures, which was subsequently applied in a cognitively focused daily rehabilitation stationary of the The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the General Hospital and the First Medical Faculty of Charles University. Another goal was to provide settings for using the conditions of the program, its evaluation and finding out whether it was applied to the patient to improve some of the ADL. The research part of the work is processed by the method of qualitative evaluation research through the elaboration of one case study and evaluation of the program by a decision evaluation model. Based on a comprehensive search, a therapeutic program was developed and evaluated. It includes three levels of primary motor tasks and secondary cognitive tasks divided according to specific cognitive functions. This is a pilot study to further investigate the effect of the use of the dual task in people with aquired brain injury. Key words: dual-task, cognitive-motor interference, neurorehabilitation, acquired brain injury

Neurorehabilitation after brain injury. Therapeutic possibilities.
Angerová, Yvona ; Lippertová-Grünerová, Marcela (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Kozler, Petr (referee)
Neurorehabilitation is a multidisciplinary rehabilitation process used in patients with neurological diseases. These patients have not only movement disorders but also cognitive and neurobehavioral problems as well as aphasias. Their rehabilitation is a long term process and the results are often unsatisfactory. Neuroplasticity - physiological basis for neurorehabilitation induces functional restitution or recovery after secondary brain damage. Various neuroprotective substances (e.g. erythropoietin - EPO) are tested to empower mechanisms of plasticity after brain injury. Preclinical studies testing efficacy of those substances in animal brain damage models are essential to prepare clinical trials. The aim of the study was to reveal the influence of EPO combined with rehabilitation on functional outcomes after global cerebral hypoxia. FIM (Functional independence measure) test was used for functional evaluation and Meilli test for visual memory of the patients who attended special program for rehabilitation in clinical part. Patients who came earlier had better prognosis than patients who came later. In experimental part three-months old male Wistar albino rats were exposed to hypobaric hypoxia for 60 minutes in an experimental chamber, simulating an altitude of 8000 m. Half of the animals received...
