A System for Training Individuals with Cognitive Function Disorder
Pawlus, Jan ; Zachariášová, Marcela (referee) ; Bidlo, Michal (advisor)
This paper is focused on exploring new techniques of therapy, training or diagnostics of people who have various problems with cognitive functions - reactions, attention deficit or visual memory. This can cover a large group of people - from ADHD kids to people dealing with stroke consequences. The methodology used here is based on interaction with a light of various colors and a mobile application where the user has to pay attention to a light, which changes its color, and react to it using the application. This system is accomplished by setting up an Arduino controller that is connected to a phone or a tablet via Bluetooth. After receiving a command from the phone, the controller then sends a radio frequency signal to the light. Therefore, the application can measure the user's reaction time, which is necessary for keeping track with the therapy process or categorizing the user when being diagnosed with a cognitive problem.

Training of cognitive function after brain injury with use of Test System Schuhfried
Macková, Lenka ; Oktábcová, Alice (advisor) ; Piťhová, Zuzana (referee)
1 Abstract: Brain injury is a heavy burden on our society and one of the consequences of brain injury is cognitive impairment. Cognitive functions are essential to self-sufficiency and participation in the life of man. The aim of this work is to describe the use of a computer program CogniPlus from Vienna Test System Schuhfried for the training of cognitive functions for patients after brain injury. The theoretical part provides information on the issues of brain injury and its consequences and describes cognitive functions and their disorders. Furthermore, this section describes the options for neurorehabilitation and neuropsychology and there's also described the role of occupational in training of cognitive functions. Conclusion The theoretical part focuses on the use of computer programs and their advantages and disadvantages, and lastly, there is a detailed description of the computer program CogniPlus. The practical part is focused on the possibility to use a computer program for training (CogniPlus) of cognitive function of patients after brain injury. The practical part contains two case studies. Each patient was conducted 10 training sessions on CogniPlus during two months - once and twice a week. Before and after of the therapy series, cognitive tests were performed on patients for evaluation of...

Memory and attention training of patients after stroke from the perspective of occupational therapy. Subtitle: Pilot study of the Cognitive application on a tablet
Adamusová, Andrea ; Janatová, Markéta (advisor) ; Zemánková, Zuzana (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to find out clinical usability of tablet application Cognitive for training of memory and attention of patients after stroke, in occupational therapist's view. Occupational therapists train cognitive functions (for instance memory and attention) of patients in various ways. Therapy using modern technologies, particularly tablet, is involved. Whereas in foreign countries tablets are used in occupational therapy in many means, in the Czech Republic their use is still minimal. The theoretical part contains a summary about this area. The application Cognitive, which is currently being developed, might help change the situation in the Czech Republic. Cognitive application contains two games, one for memory and the other one for attention. Is this application usable in occupational therapist's practice, though? Within the practical part, a study has been created, that found out the usability of new application Cognitive in practice with six patients after stroke. Occupational therapist trained memory and attention with them for 3 weeks, every weekday, each for 30 minutes. Data was processed in a form of a case study and using statistical methods. The study has found out that the application has a major drawback in poor variability of game elements, which is necessary for...

The Effectiveness of Cognitive Support for Seniors in the Context of Viewing the Old Age
Waidingerová, Iveta ; Štětovská, Iva (referee) ; Uhlář, Pavel (referee)
The present Rigorous Thesis treats the cognitive function training and physical exercise of seniors in the context of viewing the old age. It touches upon the problematic of active ageing which is highly relevant nowadays. The theoretical part deals with current findings and results of studies mainly with regard to cognitively healthy seniors. The practical part represents a questionnaire-based analysis ascertaining how the adult population across the age spectrum evaluates selected abilities of elderly individuals and, furthermore, it represents research determining the subjectively perceived effect, both short and long-term, of combining the cognitive function exercise, also known as a memory training, and the physical exercise in cognitively healthy individuals at senior age. Keywords: ageing, active ageing, training of cognitive functions, memory training, physical exercise, self-sufficiency.
