Sensorimotor difficulties in children with speech impairments
Hodačová, Alžběta ; Vařeková, Jitka (advisor) ; Majorová, Simona (referee)
Title: Sensorimotor difficulties in children with speech impairments Objectives: The main aim of the thesis is to assess sensorimotor functions of children with speech disorders using standardized test batteries. Methods: 27 children were part of the study (21 boys, 6 girls), all with speech disorders from an elementary school in the age range 11-15 (12,4 years±1,05). Motor skills were tested with data collection testing batteries MABC-2, Unifittest 6-60. Furthermore, sensory functions were tested using the Nottingham Sensory Assessment. Probands were also provided with a supplementary questionnaire to gather additional information. In the next step a data matrix was created in Microsoft Excel where all data were input. Data analysis was conducted using programs Microsoft Excel and Jamovi. Results: Children with speech disorders showed higher prevalence of motor difficulties compared to Czech norms. According to the overall STS score in MABC-2 test, 63 % (17) were in the range of significant motor difficulties, which is 13 times higher than the norms. A statistically significant relationship between the Unifittest and MABC-2 was proven.In addition, a positive correlation was also confirmed between the BAL component of the MABC-2 and the long jump task in the Unifittest 6-60. Among the sensory...

Vojta's reflex locomotion in hereditary polyneuropathies
Vinciková, Lenka ; Kobesová, Alena (advisor) ; Truc, Michal (referee)
CMT disease is the most frequently type of the hereditary polyneuropathy. In the Czech republic are some 2 - 4 thousand people with this disease. Clinical picture is characterized by deterioration peripheralnerves, that faces to muscular atrophy and mobility disorders. Lower limbs are affected early than upper limbs. On the lower extremitywe observe typical deformity progress - pes cavus. Fingers on the hand are in claw position. The disturbed peripheral nerves and foot deformity affect balance, movement and stability. The scope of my work was assessment of the value of the Vojta's reflective locomotion for the hereditary polyneutopathy. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
