Therapy of spasticity with botulinum toxin and assessment of the effect by Tardieu Scale
 Hochová, Anna ; Angerová, Yvona (advisor) ; Svěcená, Kateřina (referee)
Title: Therapy of spasticity with botulinum toxin and assessment of the effect by Tardieu Scale Abstract: This paper discusses paralysing effect of botulinum toxin which is used to treat spastic muscles in contemporary medicine. The paper focuses on spasticity in patients with disorder of the central nervous system caused most commonly by stroke. At first it deals with theoretical knowledge about physiology of movement, then describes active ingredient and explains the mechanism of its effect. It dedicates a lot of attention to follow-up rehabilitation as an integral part in the management of spasticity. This paper is based on two case histories. A practical part describes in detail patient's condition before and after application of botulinum toxin. A progress of the effect was assessed during periodic meetings. These instruments were used to assess: Tardieu Scale of spasticity and Frenchay arm test. In connection with the application of botulinum toxin is emphasized active co-operation of the patient. It is an essential precondition for positive results in the management of spasticity. Key words: spasticity Tardieu Scale upper motor neuron syndrome Frenchay arm test botulinum toxin kinesiotherapy occupational therapy

Intervention of occupational therapist in adult patients with neurogenic dysphagia
 Hochová, Anna ; Uhlířová, Jaromíra (advisor) ; Šemberová, Ivana (referee)
The Occupational Therapist's Intervention for Adult Patients with Neurogenic Dysphagia Abstract of the Thesis: Dysphagia is a serious disorder, often caused by a cerebrovascular accident; in many cases it may be its only or primary symptom, and even the cause of death. The main objective of this thesis is to raise awareness of swallowing disorders among occupational therapists. Despite the fact that the occupational therapist's intervention for patients with swallowing disorder is common practice among occupational therapists abroad, this issue still is not well known among occupational therapists in the Czech Republic. There is also a considerable lack of Czech literature dealing with swallowing disorders from the occupational therapy point of view. This thesis therefore not only presents theoretical findings in this field but also recommends practical procedures for occupational therapists. The theoretical part of the thesis describes functional anatomy of the swallowing structures and swallowing physiology and pathophysiology. It analyses different causes of dysphagia with a focus on neurological disorders, defines the term dysphagia and other related terms, and briefly explains several classification methods of dysphagia. While the first part of the thesis looks primarily into the diagnostics and...
