The use of technical means to assess the impact of rehabilitation for upper limb movement
Svozílková, Pavlína ; Hána, Karel (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Jaroslav (referee)
The goal of this thesis was determine whether we can to use an inertial system for measuring the activity of the upper limb signs of paresis in the rehabilitation of people after brain damage with a diverse range of upper limbs functional damage, and demonstrating the expected increase in this activity. One way to obtain objective information about the activity of the upper limb signs of paresis is the use of inertial systems. 21 people who went to therapy on the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine First Faculty of Medicine Charles University in Prague and General University Hospital in Prague were measured. Each of them suffered brain damage more than a year ago and also had impaired upper limb mobility. The behavior of the upper limb signs of paresis were evaluated from data obtained by inertial system and by Jebsen-Taylor test. Inertial units were located on the left and right wrist and left side at the waist. An inertial system measurement was carry out at home about 12 hours a day for 4 weeks, when the persons responsible for training specified exercises. Jebsen-Taylor test was conducted at the beginning of the study, as the initial measurement, and after 4 weeks, as the output measurement. The obtained data were statistically evaluated by Wilcoxon paired test. By comparing the average...

Use of spectral analysis for the treatment of paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation
Veselá, Jana ; Rosina, Jozef (advisor) ; Hána, Karel (referee) ; Vančura, Vlastimil (referee)
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia characterized by rapid, unorganized atrial electrical activation. Its incidence in- creases with age and comorbidities. The presence of AF has been demonstrated to be independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The tre- atment of AF remains challenging. The aim of the present work is to use the analysis of heart rate variability in prediction of AF occurrence, and during tre- atment procedures of AF for better understanding of physiology of AF. Results of time-, frequency- and non-linear analyses were used in two present studies. The first study was study of patients undergoing hybrid ablation of atrial fib- rillation. Hybrid ablation consists of surgical epicardial thoracoscopic procedure, followed by electrophysiological catheter ablation. The second part is done 1-3 months after the surgical part. The aim was to establish the coincidental damage of ganglionated plex during the first, surgical procedure, using the analysis of heart rate variability during the electrophysiological procedure. The aim of the second study was the prediction of post-operative AF in pa- tients undergoing open-chest cardiac surgery, using the pre-operative heart rate variability analysis. Methods: Study 1: Patients with...

System of Audiovisual Stimulation with EEG Biological Feedback
Fiřt, David ; Hána, Karel (advisor) ; Koza, Zdeněk (referee)
In thesis be described to make-up apparatus audiovisual stimulation with EEG backward structure from readily available ready component that the are EEG amplifier, AD inverter, inverter USB/UART, apparatus for AVS and personal computer. Next is here describe programme specially written for this application in language Delphi that the implements counting values EEG signal from AD inverter, analysis enter data EEG by the help of Fourier transformation inclusive graphic presentation and by return works cerebral activity by the help of apparatus for audiovisual stimulation equipped technology AudioStrobe.
