Orthopaedic splints - innovative nursing procedures
KOVAŘÍKOVÁ, Martina
The bachelor thesis deals with the aspects of nursing care of patients with orthopaedic splints. It focuses on all the activities carried out in these patients and how they differ according to various types of fixation. The impact of various types of fixation on patients was examined as well. There are two aims of the thesis: to find out how much the different types of orthopaedic splints affect the physical and mental state of a patient and to map the nursing care of patients with orthopaedic splints. To reach these aims 6 research questions were created: What are the most common used types of orthopaedic splints and why are they used? What is the extent of convenience and comfort of patients with different types of fixation? How is the mental state in patients with orthopaedic splints influenced? What procedures and activities does the nurse's work with different types of orthopaedic splints involve? What problems does the orthopaedic splints causes in providing nursing care? In what ways is the education of patients with orthopaedic splints conducted? The thesis is divided into a theoretical and an empirical part. In the theoretical part it deals with the history of rigid fixation and its division. The empirical part maps the work of nurses in patients with orthopaedic splints as well as the mental and physical state of such patients. To carry out the empirical part the research method of semi-structured interview was chosen. The research group consisted of 8 nurses working at the department of trauma and plastic surgery and of 9 patients with orthopaedic splints. It was found out that nurses taking care of patients with orthopaedic splints must have educational skills and the ability to assist the doctor with applying the fixation. Next, it was proved that the physical and mental state of the patient is not influenced only by the type of fixation but also by the location of the fixation and the patient's age and personality. The results of this thesis can be used in education of registered nurses.

The influence of individual orthoses on ulcer healing in diabetic foot syndrome
Kalošová, Tereza ; Šolc, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Mikšíčková, Petra (referee)
Title: The influence of individual orthoses on ulcer healing in diabetic foot syndrome Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of individual braces and confirm or refute the suitability of these tools for diabetics with diabetic foot syndrome on the basis of statistical evaluation. Methods: This study is a theoretical and empirical, quantitative research was used in the form of a retrospective monitoring during treatment of patients with individual orthoses. Further observations conducted participated. Participated observation was made as a collaboration with orthotics, from which he was readmitted systematically collected data for statistical processing and ran with it professional consultation. It is an analysis of the data for the period of one year (2013) and their comparison. I used data from a file made of 32 patients using individual brace. Age and gender were not her concern. Results: The aim of this work was to gather feedback for doctors and orthotics, who are dedicated to patients with diabetic foot syndrome and defects in them. An effort was made on a sample of patients to determine whether it is effective to prescribe and create these patients individual orthoses that will improve healing in them. This is due to statistical evaluation of data provided...

Quantifying aspects of orthosis in relation to ankle sprain
Znášiková, Ivona ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Title: Quantifying aspects of orthosis in relation to ankle sprain Objectives: To detect whether various types of ankle bracing affect dynamic postural stability. Investigation of attenuation of vertical forces in different conditions. To determine range of motion for each orthosis. Methods: Monitoring of dynamic variables by piezoelectric measuring device - Kistler recording of dynamic changes. Mathematical modeling of damping characteristics and detected variables. Measuring of range of motion by goniometer with and without orthosis. Results: Results suggest, that bracing conditions have an effect on dynamic postural stability and orthosis limit range of motion. Attenuation of vertical forces is affected by using orthosis. Keywords: ankle instability, orthosis, mathematical modeling, stabilization

Case Study of Orthotic-Prostetics Treatment of a Patient with the Diagnosis Charcotova osteoartropatie
Kavale, Žofie ; Neuwirthová, Svatava (advisor) ; Šolc, Zdeněk (referee)
Title: Case study of ortho-prosthetic care of a patient with a diagnosis of Charcot osteoarthropathy. Objectives: The first aim of this bachelor's thesis is to summarize theoretical knowledge about the issue of diabetes and its imminent risks for the patient and the possibility of using ortho- prosthetic aids. The second aim of the work is to process a case study of ortho-prosthetic care for a patient diagnosed with Charcot's osteoarthropathy. Methods: The bachelor thesis has two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with the issue of diabetes mellitus and amputation of the lower limbs, as an imminent risk of this disease and prevention of amputations. The practical part consists of a case study of orthotic-prosthetic care for a patient with Charcot's osteoarthropathy who also suffers from Diabetes type 2. It describes the anamnesis, protetometry at the initial examination, production technology and a walk test with an orthosis when handing over the device to the patient. Results: The case study was completed during a six-week internship in the non-governmental medical institution Protetika s.r.o. As part of the therapy, the patient was equipped with an orthosis which after getting acquainted with the technique of walking on an orthosis, helped to increase his mobility and...

Possible orthotic solutions of Pes equinovarus congenitus
Michalová, Petra ; Černý, Pavel (advisor) ; Šolc, Zdeněk (referee)
Author: Petra Michalová Title: Possible orthotic solutions of Pes equinovarus congenitus Objective: The aim of this thesis is to point out and summarize the available options for solving the issue of Pes equinovarus congenitus. This thesis should also out provide vital information regarding the functional principles and technical composition of equipment and assess the influence of individual types of correction braces and create a basic overview of the relevant subject. The work is focused on the influence of knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) and ankle- foot orthosis (AFO) orthoses in one-sided congenital malformation of Pes equinovarus congenitus demonstrated on one case report. Methods: A proband at the age of about 1 with diagnosis of unilateral congenital malformation of the right lower limb (pes equinovarus congenitus) was involved. The proband was measured accordingly to provide specific data for the production of orthoses and then the subsequent production of three variants of orthosis suitable in the specific case of the solved proband took place. Results: The KAFO brace was proved to be the most efficient choice in this particular case. Keywords: pes equinovarus congenitus, congenital defect, lower limb deformity, orthotics, orthosis, KAFO, AFO

Fialová, Tereza ; Rodová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Angerová, Yvona (referee)
The submitted diploma thesis shows overview of the problem using upper extremity orthoses for adult with spasticity after the stroke. The aim of the thesis is to explore possibilities of using orthoses at different stages of the spasticity development. The theoretical part includes main information about the important point from central motoneuron disorder, it means spasticity. There is information about materials, production, availability and usability in various types of orthoses. Main part of the theoretical section shows research studies and available literature, which interprets using kinds of orthoses in various time when the spasticity was developed. The theoretical part follows the practical part. In the practical part are demonstrated available possibilities of using orthoses for interference spasticity in the upper extremity. For the practical part were chosen three groups of patients and each group of patients represents one case study. In the thesis are represented patients in acute, subacute and chronic stadium after the stroke. In each stadium were used different kind of orthoses: neoprene brace for acute, static-progressive for subacute and static thermoplastic for the chronic stadium.
