Purchartová, Dana ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Reckziegelová, Petra (referee)
Title: The Impact of Alcohol Consumption on Gross and Fine Motor Skills of Individuals Objectives of the thesis: The main objective of my thesis is to assess an immediate effect of alcohol on selected tasks from the area of fine and gross motor skills. First identified were the average values for selected tests in sober individuals, and then the values with an increasing level of alcohol in blood. The second objective is to differentiate whether or not are fine and gross motor skills affected upon the same alcohol level in blood. Methods: The required data were obtained on the basis of experimental measurements on 12 probands (6 women and 6 men) who were tested for fine motor skills using three non- standardized tests modified or created for the purpose of this experiment: threading beads on a string, unlocking locks and dropping coins to a moneybox. Gross motor skills were tested using stabilometric platform in a standing position with legs together and with open eyes for 30 seconds. The observed parameter in the fine motor skills test was the time, while in the stability test it was the track of COP; each fine motor skills test was performed three times in each round. In the second and in each subsequent round every proband was administered 0.3 g of alcohol per kg of weight. The total number of...

Author: Kateřina Sýkorová Title: The effect of an activation program on the self-sufficiency of seniors in a nursing home Objectives: The main objective of the work was to find out whether, after the program, there will be an improvement in self-sufficiency in a group of probands from a nursing home. Methods: The study involved a group of 5 participants from a senior care home, ranging in age from 70 to 90. The group consisted of one male and four female participants. Each participant was engaged in individual exercise lessons focused on the development of fine motor skills, dexterity, and development of sensorimotor functions for 8 weeks (1 lesson per week). The Moberg Pick-Up Test was used to assess the functions mentioned above before and after the intervention. The test was carried out four times with each participant; twice on both the dominant and non-dominant hand, once with visual control and the second time without visual control. Furthermore, after the intervention the participants subjectively evaluated the change in their self-sufficiency using a questionnaire. Results: From the results of the Moberg-Pick Up Test suggest that there was an improvement in 8 out of 16 measurements of fine motor skills. Two participants showed improvement in speed by more than 10 % multiple times....

Nováková, Barbora ; Vondrová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Kotková, Karla (referee)
OF THE DIPLOMA THESIS Author: Barbora Nováková Thesis supervizor: Mgr. Kateřina Vondrová Title: The Influence of Vocation on Dexterity in Healthy Adults Abstract: Restoring the ability to work is crucial for adult rehabilitation. Vocational rehabilitation supports individuals in obtaining and maintaining employment. Many job tasks require the use of upper extremities. As part of prevocational assessment, occupational therapists evaluate upper extremity functions using the standardized Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT). This thesis aimed to explore the causal relationship between the characteristics of adult employment and their performance in the PPT. It focused on three main areas: the influence of occupation, weekly working hours, and current employment duration on the PPT. A total of 266 subjects completed a questionnaire and were tested using the Czech extended version of the PPT manual. The tested population consisted of 70 % women and 30 % men, aged 20 to 64, with 250 employed subjects. The data were analysed using box plots. The influence of occupation on the PPT performance was examined by categorizing subjects into professional fields based on the National Classification of Occupations based on the questionnaire. No statistically significant difference in PPT results was found between the...

Hradilová, Johana ; Vondrová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Shejbalová, Klára (referee)
Title: Videomanual for the Administration of the Nine-Hole Peg Test according to the Czech Extended Version of the Manual for the Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT) Abstract: Fine motor skills are a complex motor function for humans, thanks to which a person can participate in social and working life. This important function can be impaired by various diseases, traumatic injuries or degeneration. As part of comprehensive rehabilitation, an occupational therapist is a specialist who provides effective treatment. Occupational therapist uses standardized tests to evaluate the development of fine motor skills during treatment. These tests focus on various aspects of fine motor skills such as: muscle strength, range of motion, dexterity, manipulation and grip strength. The Nine Hole Peg Test assesses all of these aspects and is a very sensitive tool for evaluating treatment. Proper administration is essential for standardized tests, which should be performed exactly as instructed. For the Nine Hole Peg Test, an expanded Czech version of the NHPT manual was published in 2021, which contains new rules on how to proceed and evaluate situations arising during testing that did not have a uniform published solution in previous publications. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to create a videomanual for the administration of...
