Strubinská, Šárka ; König, Jan (advisor) ; Nováková, Olga (referee)
DIPLOMA THESIS ABSTRACT Name, surname: Bc. Šárka Strubinská Supervisor: Mgr. Jan König Consultant: Mgr. Eliška Burdová, Mgr. Bc. Jitka Bonková Sýkorová Title: Driving Simulator and Its Use in the Rehabilitation of People with Acquired Brain Injury Abstract: The diploma thesis describes the utilization of a driving simulator for manual control in the rehabilitation of individuals with acquired brain injury. The main objective of this thesis is to determine the feasibility of using a driving simulator and its potential to increase the likelihood of returning to driving by clients with acquired brain injury in the chronic stage. The first sub-objective is to investigate the influence of driving simulator training on attention and the potential to increase the likelihood of returning to driving by clients with acquired brain injury in the chronic stage. The second sub-objective is to determine whether the proposed set of tests is appropriately designed as a criterion for inclusion in the driving simulator research. The theoretical part summarizes the knowledge about acquired brain injury and its consequences, cognitive functions, impairments, car driving, and legislative regulations or possibilities for driving skills testing. Furthermore, this section provides information about rehabilitation by acquired brain...

The response of the visual system when driving a car in real conditions and in a simulator during a parallel motor task.
Čiháková, Lucie ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Lopot, František (referee)
Work title: The response of the visual system when driving a car in real conditions and in a simulator during a parallel motor task. Aims: To implement a laboratory measurement in a driving simulator and in real conditions during a parallel motor task. To track the response of the visual system during the task and to determine potential differences in the response of the visual system and in the speed in the simulator and in the real car environment. Methods: The laboratory measurement was realized in a driving simulator OCTAVIA II. The measurement in real conditions was realized in Škoda Octavia as well. The eye-tracking method was used to track the drivers` eyes. Results: In the simulator the more experienced driver managed to do the parallel motor task within a shorter period of time than the less experienced driver, lower frequency of looks at the radio during the tasks with the more experienced driver was not proved. There was not an evidence of more balanced speed during the drive with the more experienced driver in the simulator. On the average the driver spent shorter time doing the tasks in the real environment than in the simulator and the total number of looks at the radio was lower. The speed of the drive in the real environment was lower than the speed in the simulator. Key words:...

The issue of driving a car in patients after stroke - the possibility of occupational therapy intervention
Málková, Kristýna ; Svobodová, Tereza (advisor) ; Uhlířová, Jaromíra (referee)
The issue of driving a car after stroke is getting increasingly common, especially because of the high stroke incidence concerning productive age patients. Nowadays, driving is considered a matter of course which intervenes our leisure time activities and work performance. Self-sufficiency and independency of a patient is one of the domains of occupational therapy, which is why the occupational therapist is a part of an interdisciplinary team. The theoretical part of the thesis defines terms relating to stroke and further neuropsychological deficits. It describes problematics of returning to automobile driving and legislative aspects. Possibilities of occupational therapy interventions relating to driving are proposed as well. The practical part of the thesis stands on a survey research, conducted in the Czech Republic and Belgium. The survey was aimed at occupational therapists who work with neurological patients and focuses on the issue of returning to driving and possible occupational therapy interventions. The conclusion also describes and compares practical Czech and Belgian occupational therapy with patients who have undergone a stroke. Key words: stroke, driving a car, occupational therapy, rehabilitation
