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

Title: Technical and practical characteristics of peroneal AFO braces. Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to gain theoretical knowledge about the peroneal AFO braces and to monitor the range of products on Czech as well as foreign market, which can help the patients after stroke and peripheral paresis of nervous peroneus make their lives easier. Methods: I used the method of systematic research in my thesis. I based my thesis on available Czech and foreign literature, electronic resources and materials obtained in prosthetic companies, mostly in the form of personal consultations. Results: The thesis provides a comprehensive overview of peroneal AFO braces and selected diseases which have permanent consequences for patients, in the form of lower limb paralysis. The thesis deals with the difficult problem of choosing specific types of braces for given diagnoses, especially according to materials and used components. The thesis can be beneficial both for students majoring in Orthotist-Prosthetist and for all specialists engaged in resolving foot-drop consequences. Keywords: ankle, foot-drop, stroke, nervous peroneus, orthotics, peroneal brace
