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

Hadbavný, Radovan ; Bachura, Marek (advisor) ; Černý, Pavel (referee)
Title: Technical solutions and indications of KAFO orthoses. Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to look closely of the orthosis at crossing areas of the foot, ankle and knee (KAFO brace), gather available information on individual technical solutions and indications of the type KAFO orthosis. Furthermore, I would be happy if this work has become a useful resource for anyone who wants more insight into this issue. Methods: During the formation of this thesis I have drawn on available literature and partly from previous personal experience. Next I worked with and obtain information from colleagues and experts in the art. I attended seminars and training courses. Results: This work contains informations from anatomy, which describes it in greater detail. Is it described human gait, muscle testing lower limb and also includes general orthotics. The main part focuses on disorders of the lower limb which they relate technical solutions KAFO orthosis with their respective indications. The results show the use of a particular technical solution of the orthosis according to the health of the patient. Keywords: Orthosis, lower extremity, KAFO, paralysis of muscle, extremity lenght
