Author: Bc. Zita Matoušová Supervisor: Mgr. Kateřina Vondrová Title: The Influence of the Use of Modern Technologies on the Dexterity of the Hands of Healty Czech Adult Population Abstract: Manual dexterity is activity, which is based on the ability to control the movement and strength of the fingers. Many aspects impact dexterity, including the use of modern technologies. These have become part of our daily lives and have changed the way we perform many activities. Therefore, I consider it important to address this context within occupational therapy. The main aim of this thesis is to determine whether there is a causal relationship between the use of modern technologies and manual dexterity in a healthy Czech adult population in the age range of 20 to 64 years. A secondary aim is to map the extent and pattern of modern technology use in the same research sample. In this pilot study 208 probands participated. Each proband completed a questionnaire. They were asked how much time they spend using a computer, mobile phone, tablet and how they use these electronics. After that, they were tested with the Nine Hole Peg Test. The analysis of the study sample was done based on the questionnaire. Pearson chi-square test was used to determine the relationship between the phenomena under study. At the set...

Nováková, Barbora ; Vondrová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Kotková, Karla (referee)
OF THE DIPLOMA THESIS Author: Barbora Nováková Thesis supervizor: Mgr. Kateřina Vondrová Title: The Influence of Vocation on Dexterity in Healthy Adults Abstract: Restoring the ability to work is crucial for adult rehabilitation. Vocational rehabilitation supports individuals in obtaining and maintaining employment. Many job tasks require the use of upper extremities. As part of prevocational assessment, occupational therapists evaluate upper extremity functions using the standardized Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT). This thesis aimed to explore the causal relationship between the characteristics of adult employment and their performance in the PPT. It focused on three main areas: the influence of occupation, weekly working hours, and current employment duration on the PPT. A total of 266 subjects completed a questionnaire and were tested using the Czech extended version of the PPT manual. The tested population consisted of 70 % women and 30 % men, aged 20 to 64, with 250 employed subjects. The data were analysed using box plots. The influence of occupation on the PPT performance was examined by categorizing subjects into professional fields based on the National Classification of Occupations based on the questionnaire.

Title: Videomanual for the Administration of the Nine-Hole Peg Test according to the Czech Extended Version of the Manual for the Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT) Abstract: Fine motor skills are a complex motor function for humans, thanks to which a person can participate in social and working life. This important function can be impaired by various diseases, traumatic injuries or degeneration. As part of comprehensive rehabilitation, an occupational therapist is a specialist who provides effective treatment. Occupational therapist uses standardized tests to evaluate the development of fine motor skills during treatment. These tests focus on various aspects of fine motor skills such as: muscle strength, range of motion, dexterity, manipulation and grip strength. The Nine Hole Peg Test assesses all of these aspects and is a very sensitive tool for evaluating treatment. Proper administration is essential for standardized tests, which should be performed exactly as instructed. For the Nine Hole Peg Test, an expanded Czech version of the NHPT manual was published in 2021, which contains new rules on how to proceed and evaluate situations arising during testing that did not have a uniform published solution in previous publications. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to create a videomanual for the administration of...

The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to determine the advantages and disadvantages of using the New Czech Extended Version Manual for Purdue Pegboard Test in occupational therapy in the Czech Republic. The partial goal was to create a Practice quiz to test knowledge of the New Czech Extended Version Manual for Purdue Pegboard Test. In order to find out the advantages and disadvantages of the test under study, I practically tried the test on eight probands and also conducted an online questionnaire survey. This survey was addressed to occupational therapists and occupational therapy students of the Czech Republic. Responses from 195 respondents were analyzed using MS Excel. The...

The secondary aim was to describe the advantages and disadvantages of using voice recordings of instruction during the testing. The survey was prepared to achieve the main goal. The survey consisted of 40 questions, which were separated into several parts. The most important part contained the video recordings of specific situations coming from testing. The respondents had to answer, how they would evaluate these situations. The author of this thesis administrated these tests several times and used read instructions and voice recordings to instruct the patients Then she could describe and compare her own experiences from testing to achieve the secondary goal of this thesis. 121 people answered this survey, but 87 of them were relevant.
