Hodnocení koeficientu pro určení průměru kmene z pařezu u vybraných dřevin
Jakša, Stanislav
This study aims to determine the appropriate conversion coefficient for calculating the trunk diameter at breast height from the stump. A total of 1,150 trees of five different species - small-leaved linden, large-leaved linden, silver birch, Scots pine, and black pine - were measured and evaluated. The tree girth was measured at 20, 30, and 130 cm above ground level, and their physiological vitality and health status were assessed. Conversion coefficient was determined for stump heights of 20 and 30 cm, as well as for individual tree species.

The possibilities of physiotherapy and prosthesis after the amputation on low limbs
ŠNOKHAUSOVÁ, Daniela
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to map physiotherapeutic and prosthetic procedures in patients with lower limb amputation. This thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part deals with historical development, definition of amputation and its indications. I describe techniques and types of amputation procedures and I mention the possibilities of rehabilitation treatment and physiotherapeutic procedures. Part of the theory is devoted to the possibilities of prosthetics, which are closely related to rehabilitation care for patients with amputation. The practical part is processed in the form of qualitative research, which was carried out using case reports. Two patients were included in the research. Both patients were men waiting for the first prosthetic equipment, and both were after surgery when they had amputated the lower leg in the thigh area.

Nagy, Ondřej ; Šolc, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Černý, Pavel (referee)
1 ABSTRACT Title: Analysis of the functionality of the current transtibial prostheses Objectives: The aim of the thesis is to describe a history of the development of prosthetics from its inception to the present and describe the basic structure and distribution of lower limb prostheses. The thesis will also include analysis of functionality existing transtibial prostheses. To determine the required documents and clarify key issues: " whether transtibial prostheses are now able to fully replace the patient lost limbs" will be used poll/questionnaire . Methods: In the theoretical part, I used the literature search. I have analyzed the accumulated data from professional publications and books. In the empirical section, I did a quantitative research to determine whether transtibial prosthesis fully replace missing to the handicapped persons. Results: I think that the current prosthetics will replace to patients the functionality of the real limbs.

Commented translation: The Laws of Cricket (Marylebone Cricket Club, 2003)
Starý, Mikuláš ; Josek, Jiří (advisor) ; Abdallaova, Naděžda (referee)
The first part of this thesis is a translation of the Preface, the Preamble, the first 15 Laws and Appendices A and B from The Laws of Cricket. The aim of this translation is that it will be used by Czech speakers while playing cricket in the Czech Republic or elsewhere. Cricket in the Czech Republic is not a widespread sport and thus several new Czech terms had to be created. The second part analyzes extratextual and intratextual factors of the original text according to Christiane Nord, describes the main translation problems and their solutions, shows the translation method and lists shifts which occurred in the translation.
The options of patients with hind limb amputation for physiotherapy treatments
DÖRNEROVÁ, Nicola
This work elaborates on the problematic of amputation of lower/hind limb and pitfalls associated with it. The theoretical part deals with the amputation from the historical and etiological point of view. I list all types of amputation interventions and their risk factors. A substantial part of the theoretical section is dedicated to physiotherapeutic procedures and possible prosthetic treatments, which are an important part of rehabilitation care for patients with amputations. The practical part of my bachelor work is processed by means of qualitative research. The research was conducted using case studies which, on the basis of anamnesis and examination contain kinesiology input analysis, procedures in physiotherapy and kinesi-ology analysis output. Using case studies I describe the application of theoretical knowledge in practice. The research was conducted at the Center of Technical Orthopedics in Ceske Budejovice. The research sample consisted of three patients with varying height of amputation intervention of the lower limb. All patients were men aged 50-65 years, with the first equipment of the prosthetic device, the first patient after exarticulation in the hip, the other after amputation in his thigh, and the third patient after amputation in his shin. Physiotherapy ran for 10 weeks, 1x a week for 60 minutes. I established an exercise set of five exercises for each patient that they were also supposed to practice at home by themselves. In addition to that, each patient received extra exercises for home practicing to suit their individual needs. I assessed the effectiveness of the therapy based on the results of input and output tests. The aim of this study was to map the practice of physiotherapy with patients after lower limb amputations. Among the most important tasks of a physiotherapist with patients with amputations I consider the care of the stump, the status of which is closely linked with the use of prostheses. During my practice I reassured myself that complications of the amputation stump significantly limit the use of prosthesis. A limited use of prosthesis consequently prolongs the patient's return to the society as its as equivalent as possible member, in accordance with the abilities and possibilities of each individual patient. The effect of locomotion with a prosthesis on the mental aspect of an individual after a leg amputation was in my practice also obvious. The results of the research part of my thesis show that the health state of all probands mentioned in my work improved after 10 weeks of treatment. During my internship, I reaffirmed the importance of early initiation of rehabilitation and awareness of patients about the possibilities of the prosthetic equipment, interdisciplinary cooperation of the nursing staff, age, cooperation and motivation of the patient. This work can serve as an educational material not only for health care workers, but also for the sick or for their family members.
The history of nursing work before and after the amputation of the lower limb
SVOBODOVÁ, Helena
The aim of this thesis is to map the nursing care of patients with amputated lower limb during the history. This is a theoretical bachelor thesis. Interview with people with experience in the issue were used in the thesis: a general nurse, RNDr. Vítězslav Kuželka, an anthropologist and Mgr. Šimon Krýsl, a historian. A visit to the Medical Museum and Depository in Prague was also necessary for the work. The thesis also contains photographs taken during the visits to the museum or the depository. Preserved historical sources are the most important ones for the thesis. Special literature and literature dealing with these problems nowadays, numerous specialized journals, many history as well as modern books were further important sources. Period textbook and brochures for patients with amputations formed an inseparable part of the information source. The first chapter deals with the prehistoric period. Anthropologist RNDr. Kuželka provided a lot of valuable information. Immersion of a stump into boiling water was a specific feature of nursing care in the prehistoric period. The next chapter deals with the antiquity, when amputation was applied as a punishment. Famous physician Hippocrates belonged to this period. After that a chapter about the middle ages with the strong influence of religion follows. During a visit to the National Medical Library Mgr. Krýsl gave us an interview for this bachelor thesis, in which he mentioned the instruments used for amputation in the history. The fourth chapter deals with the modern times. Jean Louis Petit (1674-1750), a French physician, who was highly regarded for the invention of the screw type tourniquet, was one of the significant persons of this period. Florence Nightingale, the lady with the lamp, meant a real breakthrough as she contributed to introduction of strict cleanliness in hospitals. The modern times also includes the period between 1953 and 1979, which is also a part of this thesis. There is a very much interesting fact that the nursing care of amputees does not much differ from the present. Mgr. Polanová adds her memories of the nursing care in 1979. Further parts of the bachelor thesis focus on the issues of the development of antisepsis and anaesthesia in the history. A chapter dealing with the phantom pain is one of the largest parts. The bachelor thesis is concluded by a chapter dedicated to the nursing care of patients with amputation of a lower limb nowadays. Conclusion This bachelor thesis focuses on the history of nursing care before and after an amputation of a lower limb. It is written chronologically from the prehistoric period up to the present, the 21st century. Each chapter of the thesis contains the trends, interesting points and innovations in the field of interest in the particular period. The whole work summarizes the development of nursing care and healthcare for the amputees. One of great conclusions of the studies of nursing care is the fact that there are periods in the history when hardly any changes were made but also periods when rapid and significant changes were introduced. This thesis also monitors the development of the profession of a general nurse in relation to the care about the amputees. The thesis may serve as a study material for general nurses and also for those who are interested in the history of the nursing care of patients with amputation of a lower limb.
Possible procedures as part of physiotherapy treatment in patients with lower limb amputation
SAVVINOVÁ, Kristýna
My bachelor thesis seeks to provide an insight into the issues associated with amputation of lower extremities. Amputation is an extensive surgical intervention which removes peripheral parts of the body. The objective of the theoretical part of my thesis was to present to the general public the issues associated with the return of patients after the amputation of a lower limb back to the normal life and the objective of the practical part was to make the return easier by means of a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to the patient. The research was performed using a qualitative method, by means of case studies of two male probands who underwent an amputation of the right lower limb at the thigh. The two probands were of similar age and with the same type of amputation. The first patient was hospitalized in the hospital Nemocnice sv. Zdislavy s.r.o., Mostiště, where I was involved in early postsurgery physiotherapy. The second patient was in the therapeutic center (Hamzova odborná léčebna pro děti a dospělé), in Luže {--} Košumberk, where I concentrated on physiotherapeutic procedures suitable for a prosthetic stage of rehabilitation. I selected the two probands also in order to demonstrate that it is important not only to provide early postsurgery rehabilitation but also rehabilitation in the prosthetic stage with a subsequent continuation of autotherapy. Both the patients experienced a major improvement of their physical and mental condition; this was undoubtedly supported by the comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach throughout the entire period of the provided care. In terms of taking care of themselves, the patients are now nearly self-sufficient, which is very important for their return back to the regular life. The thesis may be further used in clinical practice of physiotherapists and medical personnel. It may also serve as an educational material for patients.
