Vajglová, Tereza ; Grünerová Lippertová, Marcela (advisor) ; Macháčková, Kateřina (referee)
The subject of this bachelor thesis is the application of electrical stimulation according to Jantsche on spastic musculus gastrocnemius in patients after stroke. The parameters investigated are the effect of this stimulation on the reduction of spasticity, the effect on gait speed and the investigation of the immediate and longer-term effect. The theoretical part is devoted to defining the concept, describing the etiology and pathogenesis of stroke and spasticity. In addition, this section describes the treatment options and therapeutic procedures that are used today. An integral part of the thesis is the research section, which describes the existing knowledge in the areas addressed in this bachelor thesis. The practical part is preceded by the methodology, which summarizes the examinations used and the methods practiced. The examination was carried out three times in total and I used the Tardieu scale, 10 Meter Walk Test, 2 Minute Walk Test and Timed Up and Go Test. The probands who participated in the examination were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group and the control group. Participants in the experimental group have odd numbers and participants in the control group have even numbers. The experimental group underwent electrical stimulation according to Jantsch followed by...

Title: Neurorehabilitation of patients after brain injury at the Day Care Center of The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine Abstract: Neurorehabilitation represents a complex approach to the patient carried out by an interprofessional rehabilitation team. Neurorehabilitation is particularly important for brain-injury patients suffering not only from motor dysfunction, but also cognitive- communication disorders. The aim of this thesis is to explore and analyze the methods and options of rehabilitation in improving the functional outcome of persons following a brain injury at the Day Care Center of The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine (DS KRL). Within the framework of the practical part of my thesis, the research was carried out using content analysis of the medical records of 37 patients who visited DS KRL from November 2010 until March 2012. In most cases, they were persons after a vascular brain injury. Acquired data were evaluated by percentages and displayed graphically. Examination of input and output data of the FIM test exposed a relationship between the degree of improvement in FIM and the age of patients, where the percentage improvement of people of younger ages were higher than those of older age. It was also observed that the biggest improvement occurred in patients with a delay between...
