Department: Department of Rehabilitation and Exercise Medicine Supervisor: doc. PharmDr. H. Kubová, DrSc. The year of presentation: 2013 Abstract: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of status epilepticus (SE) in postnatal development early phase on laboratory rat psychomotor development. Experimentally caused (SE) is the most common mode of epileptogenesis, which is the process leading to the epilepsy creation, and typical comorbidities. The influence of the early SE was studied when using lithium/pilocarpine model of SE induced on 12 days old rat cubs, which were repeatedly exposed to the "open field" test until 32nd day of their lives that means until the puberty beginning. The evaluation is focused on cognition and overall locomotion changes and anxiety demonstrations. The results show that in short periods after SE (up to 1 month) the cognitive functions regarding the habituation disorder are not worsened. However, hyperactivity short-term disposition and worse adaptability to experimental conditions due to animal anxiety increase were detected. Motor skills of...

The aim of this study was to characterize the psychomotor profile of children aging from 6 to 11 years old with an Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) clinical diagnosis. Ten Children that were attending the Children s Psychiatric Department of a Hospital from a Sao Paulo State city, from April/ 2006 to June/ 2006 had participated on the present research. In order to be selected, children must have satisfied the inclusion criteria, and also they must not have any exclusion criteria. After obtaining parental consent, children were evaluated. The assessment tool was Motor Development Scale (MDS) developed by Francisco Rosa Neto (1996), focusing 5 psychomotor factors, including fine motricity, global motricity, equilibrium, body scheme, and space organization. With the applied tasks, it became possible to verify all kinds of variation on the psychomotor performance establishing, or not, a relationship with the ADHD. The results suggests that the ADHD children did not have a satisfying motor performance, however it is not possible to assume that the ADHD was the only cause of the low performance, it is necessary to consider other issues as environments, social end economic level, and others, though this study does not concerns this issues. / Na atualidade, existem in?meros profissionais que utilizam a motricidade ou a psicomotricidade como meio de estudos em diferentes contextos, sendo que a motricidade ? a intera??o de diversas fun??es motoras. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi caracterizar o perfil psicomotor de crian?as entre 6 e 11 anos de idade com diagn?stico cl?nico comprovado de transtorno do d?ficit de aten??o e hiperatividade. Participaram da presente pesquisa 10 crian?as que freq?entaram, entre abril de 2006 e junho de 2006, o Ambulat?rio de Psiquiatria Infantil de um Hospital de uma cidade do interior do estado de S?o Paulo. Foram selecionadas as crian?as que cumpriram os crit?rios de inclus?o, al?m de n?o possu?rem nenhum fator de exclus?o. A pesquisa foi realizada com a autoriza??o dos pais ou respons?veis, os quais assinaram o termo de consentimento. As crian?as foram submetidas a uma avalia??o por meio da Escala de Desenvolvimento Motor (EDM), estabelecida por Francisco Rosa Neto (1996). Referente ? EDM, a mesma enfoca 5 fatores psicomotores, sendo motricidade fina, motricidade global, equil?brio, esquema corporal e organiza??o espacial. Por meio das tarefas aplicadas, foi poss?vel constatar qualquer tipo de varia??o no desempenho dos fatores psicomotores citados, estabelecendo-se, ou n?o, uma rela??o com o transtorno do d?ficit de aten??o e hiperatividade. O resultado obtido constatou um perfil psicomotor com desempenho n?o satisfat?rio, por?m ? invi?vel afirmar que esse seja o ?nico fator para tal resultado, sendo necess?rio considerar outras vari?veis como meio ambiente, n?vel socioecon?mico, entre outras, as quais n?o s?o o objeto de discuss?o deste estudo.

In this view emphasize the need to recognize the importance of the body, their histories and sociocultural characteristics. The Psychomotor in its interface with the Gerontology arises as generating area of competence of new knowledge about the elderly in a healthy condition of life. It is justifiable, therefore, this study conducted to investigate the views of older people on Aging, Longevity, body and different dimensions of Quality of Life in order to contribute in the structuring of educational policies with basement in the Psychomotor. This research is based on supporting a specific theoretical framework of the area of Social Gerontology, covering concepts related to aging, old age, citizenship, quality of life and psychomotor. The exploratory study and quantitative and qualitative approach includes field research conducted through interviews with 15 (fifteen) elderly goers Living Center for the Elderly - Calebe, participants of "psychomotor Workshops". Data collection occurred with the use of the WHOQOL-bref questionnaire and conducting with semi-structured interview based on a script and application of the procedures required by the ethical requirements. As collection and data analysis tools were used, from a quantitative point of view, the Student's T test. The results demonstrated the uniqueness and the subjectivity of the concept of quality of life and the positive impact of "psychomotor workshops" in daily life of the participants, as well as guiding new public policies in an intersectoral vision, covering the area of education, health and social / O estudo do envelhecimento e da velhice torna-se imprescindível ao admitirmos a realidade da longevidade e o aumento da população idosa. Neste panorama ressalta-se a necessidade do reconhecimento da importância do corpo, suas histórias e características socioculturais. A Psicomotricidade em sua interface com a Gerontologia coloca-se como área de competência geradora de novos conhecimentos sobre o idoso numa condição de vida saudável. Justifica-se, portanto, a presente pesquisa cujo objetivo é investigar as concepções de pessoas idosas sobre Velhice, Longevidade, Corpo e diferentes dimensões de Qualidade de Vida tendo em vista contribuir na estruturação de políticas educativas com embasamento na Psicomotricidade. Essa investigação tem como base de apoio um referencial teórico específico da área da Gerontologia Social, abarcando conceitos relativos ao envelhecimento, velhice, cidadania, qualidade de vida e psicomotricidade. O estudo de caráter exploratório e de abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa inclui pesquisa de campo desenvolvida por meio da realização de entrevistas com 15 (quinze) idosos freqüentadores do Núcleo de Convivência para Idosos Calebe, participantes das Oficinas Psicomotoras . A coleta de dados se deu com a utilização do questionário WHOQOL-bref e realização de entrevista semi estruturada com base em roteiro e aplicação dos procedimentos requeridos pelas exigências éticas. Como instrumentos de coleta e analise de dados foi utilizado, sob o ponto de vista quantitativo, o Teste T de Student. Os resultados demonstraram a singularidade e a subjetividade da concepção da qualidade de vida e o impacto positivo das oficinas psicomotoras no cotidiano dos participantes, assim como norteadora de novas políticas publicas numa visão intersetorial, abarcando a área da educação, da saúde e social

The diploma thesis is focused on psychomotor development in children with cerebral palsy in context of persisting primitive reflexes. Opening chapters summarize theoretical knowledge about cerebral palsy, its etiology, clinical picture, forms and comprehensive diagnostics, including special education. The next part of the thesis focuses on psychomotor development of a child with cerebral palsy, in particular the gross and fine motor activity development and speech development. The main section of the thesis discusses the neurophysiological principles of primitive reflexes and their relevance for early development of a child. The primitive reflexes, one by one, as well as the influence of their persistence on the psychomotor development of the child with cerebral palsy and options of their integration by selected therapeutic concepts are presented. Attention is also paid to the importance of multidisciplinary cooperation of medical rehabilitation and special pedagogical care in the field of primitive reflexology. The practical part is based on qualitative methodology ad its operates with data gained from three case studies. The aim of the diploma thesis is to examine by means of case studies whether or not the integration of primitive reflexes demonstrably improves the psychomotor skills, behavior,...

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) effectively treats depression by administration of repeated seizure-inducing electrical stimuli. Sprague-Dawley rats were administered 6 electroconvulsive shocks (ECS) over 2 weeks, and in vivo single unit extracellular electrophysiological activity was recorded after 48 hours. Overall firing activity in the locus coeruleus and ventral tegmental area was unchanged, suggesting the therapeutic efficacy of ECT may not be attributed to increased norepinephrine and dopamine release. There were more spontaneously active neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), indicating greater dopamine tone in the nigrostriatal motor pathway, which may contribute to alleviation of psychomotor retardation. In the facial motor nucleus (FMN), locally administered norepinephrine, but not serotonin, facilitated greater glutamate-induced firing, which may contribute to improved facial motricity. Current results indicate that repeated ECS enhances postsynaptic norepinephrine neurotransmission in the FMN and SNc dopamine neurotransmission, which could represent the mechanism behind the alleviation of depressive symptoms including psychomotor retardation.

Surgical processes are a complex function of a number of inter-related factors that include individual skills, team working and operating theatre environment. Individual skills can be divided to technical and non-technical skills. This distinction between technical and non-technical skills is rather recent in the healthcare literature. There are studies made about assessing non-technical skills performed in the operating theatre but studies made to assess theatre nurses‘ technical skills have been lacking until recently. The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical applicability of a newly developed observation tool in different contexts and through observing describe similarities or differences between theatre nursing. The observations in the present study are structured with a newly developed observational tool that is developed to assess technical skills of a theatre nurse. The two authors of this study performed the data collection simultaneously at different operation departments. The present study makes evident that the technical skills required of a theatre nurse are considerably different in two different countries. Therefore, it is difficult to use an observational tool without modifying it according to local routines. / Kirurgiska processer består av ett antal komplext inbördes relaterade faktorer som inkluderar individuella färdigheter, teamarbete och miljön i operationssalen. Individuella färdigheter kan delas till tekniska och icke-tekniska färdigheter. Denna åtskillnad mellan tekniska och icke-tekniska färdigheter är ganska ny i omvårdnadslitteraturen. Det har genomförts studier där man har bedömt icke-tekniska färdigheter som utförs i operationssalen men studier för att bedöma operationssjuksköterskans tekniska färdigheter har saknats fram till nyligen. Syftet med denna studie är att utvärdera den kliniska tillämpligheten av ett nyutvecklat observationsverktyg i olika kontext och genom att observera kunna beskriva likheter eller skillnader mellan tekniska färdigheter. Observationerna i den aktuella studien är strukturerade med ett nyutvecklat observationsverktyg som är utvecklad för att bedöma en operationssjuksköterskas tekniska färdigheter. De två författarna till denna studie genomförde datainsamlingen samtidigt på olika operationsavdelningar. Den aktuella studiens resultat visar att de tekniska färdigheterna som krävs av en operationssjuksköterska är betydligt olika i två olika länder. Därför är det svårt att använda ett observationsverktyg utan att anpassa det enligt de lokala rutinerna.

While most people with schizophrenia face the functional consequences of a lifelong disorder, very few studies have investigated the specific domain of daily living activities performance. The purpose of this thesis was to examine the relationships between daily activity performance, cognitive deficits, and community functioning in people with schizophrenia. More specifically, the objectives were: 1) to describe functional limitations during daily task performance, 2) to explore the existence of subgroups of participants with similar functional limitations profiles, 3) to explore the relationships between daily task performance and cognitive functions as well as 4) with community functioning. This thesis tested the hypothesis that limitations in task performance negatively influence community functioning. / A sample of 82 individuals with schizophrenia and 28 healthy controls participated in this study and were assessed during a meal preparation task with the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform (PRPP) System of Task Analysis and on cognitive tests of visuospatial memory, spatial working memory, visuomotor coordination, planning and selective attention. Community functioning was assessed with the Independent living Skills Survey and the Multnomah Community Ability Scale. Limitations in the Perceive, Recall and Plan quadrants of the PRPP System, were found in participants with schizophrenia when compared to a control group (n = 28), as well as in the complete sample (n = 82). Participants in the high-efficiency subgroup ( n =36) were more independent in daily living and performed better on the visuospatial associative learning task than the low-efficiency subgroup (n = 46). At the specific level of individual profiles, participants were distributed along a continuum of low- to high-functioning on the PRPP System factors and on functional, cognitive, and clinical characteristics. / The associative learning task was most associated with task performance, along with working memory and planning. Finally, less efficient planning skills were associated with a lower level of community functioning, confirming the hypothesis. These results emphasize the relationship of associative visual memory to daily task performance, as well as that of efficiency in daily activities for residential status. Integrating these findings into the rehabilitation process will contribute to better meeting the needs of people with schizophrenia.
