Štěpánková, Tereza ; Vlčková, Blanka (advisor) ; Šafářová, Marcela (referee)
This thesis focuses on the comparison of the results of selected clinical trials in children with perinatal brachial plexus palsy (PBPP) in the age range of 4-6 years. The theoretical part summarizes the basic knowledge about the anatomical basis of PBPP, its types and levels of nerve injuries, the main comorbidities of PBPP, the most commonly used clinical trials, the possibilities of conservative and surgical therapy with emphasis on conservative therapy methods applied in the Czech Republic. The main goal was to determine the correlations between selected tests and verify their suitability for use in children with PBPP. Methods: A total of 14 probands with a diagnosed PBPP in the age range of 4-6 years (mean age 69.9 months; SD ± 11.6 months) were included in the study. All subjects underwent 3 clinical trials - Acvitve Movemet Scale (AMS), Brachial Plexus Outcome Measure (BPOM) and Bruininsk-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test - Second Edition (BOT-2), which were administered during 1-2 visits. Total and partial test results were recorded and compared in correlation analysis. Results: Based on the results of statistics a significant linear relationship between the scores of AMS and BPOM was confirmed (Pearson's r = 0.961; p < 0.001). No linear relationship between other tests or their partial...
