Norková, Hana ; Gerlichová, Markéta (advisor) ; Dědková, Miriama (referee)
Title: Use of rhythmic stimulation in physiotherapy in patients with acquired brain damage Abstract: The topic of the bachelor thesis is the use of rhythmic stimulation in physiotherapy in patients with acquired brain damage. The thesis consists of theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part contains 4 sections. The first section is entirely dedicated to the acquired brain damage. The second section describes the motor system and structures involved in its management. The third section summarizes information related to music therapy, neurological music therapy, rhythmical stimulation in neurological music therapy, music, rhythm and their influence on the human brain. In the last section, the Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance is described in more details, the elements of which are further used in the practical part. The practical part is built on two case studies illustrating two female patients with an upper limb motor disorder caused by cerebral stroke. During the therapeutic sessions with the patients different elements of Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance were applied. Both patients used four musical instruments, accompanied by a metronome and played each of the instruments with some specific movements. The synchronization of the pace with the movements of the upper limbs in...

Functional assessment of motor activities of patients after brain damage before and after intensive rehabilitation intervention (with the goal to obtain restoration of upper arm physiological functions)
Sládková, Petra ; Švestková, Olga (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Süssová, Jana (referee)
Rehabilitation of patients after brain damage is an multidisciplinary, complex, intensive, long- term and individual process. Standardized functional instruments for the assessment of the degree of disability and functional abilities of patients are not usually used in rehabilitation in the Czech Republic. Often, motor disorder post brain damage results in hemiparesis and causes impairment of upper arm movement pattern. Movement ability of the upper arm is vital for self-sufficiency, activities of daily life and maintaining an independent family life. Special rehabilitation therapeutic techniques must involve the training of new activities including the mechanism of motor learning which is responsible for functional reorganization of the motor cortex regions, and the activation of reserve neurons for reparation. The aim of the study is to demonstrate that an accelerometer is a suitable instrumet for objective monitoring of impairment of the upper arm movement pattern. Another aim of the study is to demostrate if the FIM test (Functional Independence Measures) and Jebsen-Taylor (JT) test are appropriate instruments for detecting changes of the upper arm movement pattern after intensive, individual and multidisciplinary rehabilitation brain damage patients. Clinical study was undertaken with selected...

Functional assessment of motor activities of patients after brain damage before and after intensive rehabilitation intervention (with the goal to obtain restoration of upper arm physiological functions)
Sládková, Petra ; Švestková, Olga (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Kozler, Petr (referee)
6 Abstract The rehabilitation of patients with brain damage is an interprofessional, complex, intensive, long-lasting and individually oriented process. One frequent consequence of brain damage is hemiparesis, which also causes a disorder of the upper extremity movement pattern. The movement ability of the upper extremity is essential for an individual's self-sufficiency, the performance of common daily activities, and thus for an independent life in a family setting. Special therapeutic rehabilitation approaches should involve the training of new activities, including the motor learning mechanism that activates brain plasticity. A functional reorganization of the motor cortex occurs along with the activation of reserve neurons and the replacement of damaged synapses. One of the aims of this work was to demonstrate, using objective function methods, the possibility of influencing the movement patterns of a paretic upper extremity by means of intensive interprofessional rehabilitation even several years after the brain damage. The second aim was to demonstrate that the monitoring of motor functions in patients after brain damage leads to improved motivation, thereby improving motor functions. A study was conducted among 55 selected patients after brain damage with central hemiparesis who participated in the...

The Use of Orthesis at Patients Suffering from Spastic Dystonia
Pekárková, Martina ; Šebek, Milan (advisor) ; Jakovcová, Karolína (referee)
OF BACHELOR'S THESIS Name, surname: Martina Pekárková Thesis supervisor: Ing. Milan Šebek The second reader: Title of bachelor's thesis: The Use of Orthesis at Patients Suffering from Spastic Dystonia Abstract of bachelor's thesis: The theme of this bachelor's thesis is the use of orthesis at patients suffering from spastic dystonia. The thesis consists of the theoretical and practical part. The most common causes of spastic dystonia are mentioned in the theoretical part. The key chapters of the thesis are Spastic Dystonia and Treatment. In the last chapter of the theoretical part, which deals with orthotics, its particular types and their functional use are described. The practical part of the thesis is compiled with regard to doing research based on foreign studies. Orthesis are specified on the basis of the static and dynamic use. Relevant studies were analysed and based on their results it may be said that static orthesis are not significant for their use. The application of dynamic orthesis is debatable, because in some studies their positive effect on spacticity was proved, while in others it was disproved. For lack of valid literature, in which the effect would be definitely proved or disproved, it is necessary to do some more research. The purpose of this thesis was to gather and unify...

Mapping people's awareness of possibility of home physiotherapy after acquired brain damage
Vadkertiová, Monika ; Chalupská, Tereza (advisor) ; Jakovcová, Karolína (referee)
Title: Mapping people's awareness of possibility of home physiotherapy after acquired brain damage My bachelor's thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part contains information about stroke, about subsequent rehabilitation and about home physiotherapy. Stroke is one of the most common acquired brain damages and many patients just after the stroke remain at home with permanent consequences. Physiotherapy is one of the basic elements of neurorehabilitation of these patients. The greatest effort of physiotherapists for these persons is to increase mobility to the highest possible level, return to self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on others. Home physiotherapy has a great benefit in improving the quality of life of these patients. The main theme and aim of the practical part is to map the awareness of people after acquired brain damages, after release and mainly about the possibility of home physiotherapy. The practical part is realized in the form of an anonymous questionnaire for these persons. The result of my survey showed that more than half of the interviewed respondents did not have information of the possibility of using home physiotherapy. Key words: home physiotherapy, discharging patients, patient's awareness, brain damage, stroke

Clinical utility of Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test in Patients after Brain Damage
Šimková, Klára ; Krivošíková, Mária (advisor) ; Bolceková, Eva (referee)
OF DIPLOMA THESIS Title of diploma thesis: Clinical Utility of Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test in Patients after Brain Damage Objective: The main goal of this diploma thesis was to monitor the relationship between memory functions measured by the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test (RBMT-3) and their subsequent influence on occupational performance in ADL (pADL) in patients after brain damage. The partial objective was to determine whether self-sufficiency in ADL can be predicted from RBMT-3 results. The last partial goal was to create a working version of the RBMT-3 and translate it from the original English version. Methods: The research group consisted of 40 probands (22 males and 18 females) after brain damage. For data collection, the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test (RBMT-3) for assessing the memory function level was used. FIM (version 5.2) was used for evaluating the level of occupational performance in ADL (pADL). Hypothesis verification was performed by correlation analysis and corrected Spearman's correlation coefficient and p-values. For this pre- research, the level of significance α1 < 0.05 and α2 < 0.01 was chosen. Results: The pre-research did not confirm the dependence between the RBMT-3 memory level and the level of self-sufficiency measured by FIM. The P value (p = 0.526) from the...
