Šafran, Jindřich ; Brablc, Martin (referee) ; Rajchl, Matej (advisor)
This Bachelor thesis is about the general design, construction and model assembling of the prosthetic arm. Its programming and controlling of the robotic part are also included. The thesis is divided into five chapters. In the first chapter, the anatomy of forearm is analysed and described. Its anatomical structure is the theoretical base on which the final model is designed and constructed. Following, second chapter, comprises the analysis of prosthetic mechanisms according to the historical development up until today. And this chapter also contains the production of the designed forearm-hand-model itself. The third chapter describes the EMG diagnostic method and the process of manufacturing of each compartment of controller device used for controlling the mechanism of the designed model. Next, chapter number four contains gaining and processing of the data from testing of the measuring device. In the last fifth chapter, the programming of the made forearm-hand-model in various development environments is described. All the results and gained knowledge, are evaluated and described in the conclusion of the Bachelor thesis.

Metallic materials used for dental prostheses
Kožiol, Martin ; Kohout, Jan (referee) ; Věchet, Stanislav (advisor)
The topic of the bachelor's thesis is the use of metallic prosthesis and implants in dental medicine. The main point is to elaborate the summary of metallic materials and their mutual comparision in the terms of properties and individual application. For the clearly understand, there has to be defined a biocompatibility which along with mechanical properties serves for categorizing materials capable of application in the form of dental prosthesis. At the end is discussed about future of metallic materials in dental medicine.

Upper Extremity Prosthetics
Tomanová, Markéta ; Janoušek, Oto (referee) ; Kolářová, Jana (advisor)
Bachelor´s thesis summarizes the knowledge about prosthetic substitutes upper extremities, with a focus on myoelectric prosthesis, the bionic arm. Practical work provides an overview of the different types of upper limb prostheses, starting with cosmetic prostheses without the active functions, ending with active myoelectric hand. Literature search is performed, including the summary table comparing the advantages and disadvantages of each upper limb prostheses. The next section deals with directly myoelectric extremities, with a view to prosthesis individual companies to specialize their production of these prostheses. The practical part was focused on recording electromyographic signals directly intended to control myo-electric prostheses. The proposed block diagram shows the bionic arm components required for its activity. The included software allows to process signals measured using the Biopac system. The result is a functional work program based on the principle of detecting overthreshold impulses. Based on the resulting binary outputs there are the final results of the prosthesis control, both text and graphics, shown after adjusting.

Patient's return to normal life after limb amputation
HRDONKOVÁ, Jana
The topic of this bachelor's thesis is the matter of the complex approach to patients who have had a limb amputated, which has a major impact on an individual's living standards. The excellent functionality of the entire team treating the individual is essential in this case, including the timing of follow-up care, so that the limb amputation patient's return to normal life is as easy as possible and the patient is not required to deal with obstacles that could complicate the process when he returns to his home environment. In the introductory chapters, the theoretical part of this paper discusses the history of limb amputation and gives a historic insight into prosthetic treatment compared to the current situation in the field of prosthetics. This is followed by a description of nursing care, with special focus on care of the stump, physiotherapy and, lastly, social support of individuals following limb amputation. Three objectives were determined - 1. To establish how informed limb amputee patients are before being discharged for subsequent care at home, 2. To establish how nurses are involved in the limb amputation patient's return to his home environment, 3. To establish how family members are involved in the process of preparing a patient for normal life before the individual is discharged from the medical facility. The semi-structured interview method was used to obtain answers to research questions for the purpose of achieving these objectives. Limb amputation patients who had returned to their normal lives made up one research sample and nurses from the surgical department made up the second research sample. The research survey revealed that there is a deficiency in the field of providing information to limb amputation patients in order to make their return to their normal lives easier. Patients left hospital with incomplete information about subsequent procedures that would make their return to their normal lives easier, for instance arrangement of compensation aids for patients, information about the possibility of being contacted by social workers and also contact information for services that could help them in this difficult situation. The bachelor's thesis research survey resulted in creation of an information brochure for limb amputation patients.

The role of the radiographer in stomatology
STEINEROVÁ, Karolína
This bachelor's thesis focuses on radiological imaging methods and their use in dentistry. Radiological devices have been developing rapidly recently and have become a common part of dental outmous clinics. They are used not only in the field of dental and surgical dentistry, but also in aesthetic dental treatments. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The aim is to map the advantages and disadvantages of each type of device and theri suitability of their use in dentistry. The theoretical part deals with basic anatomical concepts of the orofacial field, an overview of radiological diagnostic devices, their use in the field of dentistry and specially aesthetic dentistry, and the associated radiation protection of workers and patients. Furthermore, it focuses on the basic aesthetic anomalies of the teeth and their treatment, which usually precedes the imaging of the target area. The second part of the thesis was compiled on the basis of a questionnaire survey conducted. Two questionnaires were created concerning the use of imaging methods in the aesthetic repair of teeth, the equipment of dental workplaces and access to patients from the point of view of imaging and radiation protection from the point of view of patients and dentists. The aim was to answer research questions about the use of radiology in aesthetic dentistry and the level of information patients receive about their radiological examinations. According to research, the largest representation is the intraoral type of imaging, namely bitewing image, which is suitable for basic diagnosis of dental anomalies as well as changes in the structure of the tooth. This method is easy, fast and practically without any extra burden put on the patient. The most commonly performed aesthetic procedure turned out to be treatment with orthodontic apparatus, in which imaging of the original position of the teeth is necessary. The least used method in the field of dentistry is magnetic resonance imaging, due to the availability and creation of artifacts in images from dental metal fillings. Research shows that patients are not properly informed about the course, necessity or consequences of radiological examination. Although the dose of ionizing radiation is negligible in dental imaging examinations, the doctor should prevent and inform the patient of the patient's concerns. More than half of respondents consider X-rays to be health-burdensome.
