Title: The Possibilities of Physical Activities for Women after Breast Cancer Surgery Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to expand upon the theoretical knowledge concerning the issue of breast cancer and the possibilities of physical activities after surgical treatment of this disease. Furthermore, the thesis aims to design a suitable exercise program for the home environment, to monitor the progress of the intervention through online consultations and then to evaluate its benefits. Methods: The case study method was used with three women after surgical treatment at the ages of 38, 44 and 52. Participant observation, questionnaire survey and qualitative content analysis of the document were used to develop these case studies (measurement results, questionnaire results). Results: The movement intervention was found to improve shoulder joint mobility on the operated side and to increase the level of motor activity. The individually designed movement programme was perceived positively by the women and some advantages and disadvantages of the online consultation came to light.

Altmanová, Šárka ; Hoidekrová, Kristýna (advisor) ; Nováková, Olga (referee)
DIPLOMOVÉ PRÁCE Jméno, příjmení: Bc. Šárka Altmanová Vedoucí práce: PhDr. Kristýna Hoidekrová, Ph.D. Title: Distance therapy and telerehabilitation in occupational therapy: contemporary use in patients after acquired brain injuries Abstract: Acquired brain injuries (ABI) are the most represented type of injuries in neurorehabilitation. In the Czech Republic, there is a shortage of outpatient occupational therapists. The involvement of telerehabilitation appears to be a possible solution to the lack of therapists. These methods are already being used with a good effect around the world. The aim of this thesis is to compare the possibilities of telerehabilitation against conventional occupational therapy in patients with ABI. A partial goal is to undertake a SWOT analysis of telerehabilitation and evaluate the communication platform eAmbulance. There are four single case studies. The patients are aged between 27-81 years (two women and two men) with different severity of right-sided hemiparesis. These patients underwent interventions of 60 minutes per week for a period of four weeks. The content of each therapy was different. Patients filled in a feedback questionnaire following each intervention. The results show that a large variation of approaches from conventional therapies can be used. The...

Background Physiotherapy represents a valuable intervention applied to COVID-19 patients suffering from respiratory symptoms. Objective To assess the effectiveness of physiotherapeutic modalities on pulmonary function, physical function, and psychosocial effect of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Methods A comprehensive systematic literature search of CINAHL, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and Scopus was done to retrieve potential peer-reviewed articles that assessed the effectiveness of physiotherapeutic modalities on pulmonary function, physical function, and psychosocial effect of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Results Of the 1093 potential articles assessed, 9 met the inclusion criteria. The results demonstrated that respiratory rehabilitation improves respiratory function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Conclusion Respiratory rehabilitation and telerehabilitation programs are effective in improving the functional capacity, quality of life, and respiratory function of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Keywords: physiotherapeutic procedures; telerehabilitation; functional capacity; dyspnea capacity; pulmonary function.

Changes in working abilities in a patient of productive age after total arthroplasty of weight-bearing supporting joint of the lower limb
ŠIMKOVÁ, Jana
Total lower limb endoprosthesis was originally indicated in elderly patients, as the fear of wear and tear was ingrained in younger, more active patients. Nowadays, with advances in implant design and surgical technology, it has become a viable option for patients of productive age who are reducing pain in all aspects of life. The aim of this work is to evaluate the changes in working abilities in patients of productive age after total endoprosthesis of the lower limb, and to map the possibilities of physiotherapy that will be beneficial for returning to working life. The bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes the anatomy of the hip and knee joint with their interconnection, types of total hip arthroplasty, its indications and contraindications. Furthermore, the theoretical part deals with the division of rehabilitation before and after implantation of a total endoprosthesis and other physiotherapeutic procedures. The term "work skills" and their changes are defined. The practical part is based on case reports of patients who are in different time horizons from TEP of the hip joint. A detailed initial kinesiological analysis was created with three probands together with therapy, short-term and long-term physiotherapy plan, final kinesiological analysis. A kinesiological analysis is created retrospectively with three other probands. The case studies are supplemented by a questionnaire. The results reflect the positive effect of physiotherapy on health status and changes in working abilities after total hip arthroplasty.
