The diploma thesis Use of ergotherapy fro Down's syndrome in preschool age deals with the use of ergotherapy as a tool for the development of fine and gross motor skills in children with Down syndrome in preschool age. The work consists of two parts. The theoretical part defines the issue of Down syndrome, then describes the specifics of the development of a child with an intellectual disability in preschool age, with a focus on the development of fine and gross motor skills, and the last part summarizes the current knowledge about ergotherapy and its use in children with Down syndrome in preschool age. The second part describes the design of an occupational therapy program focused on the development of fine and gross motor skills in children with Down syndrome and then verifies its applicability in practice through action research. Three children wit Down syndrome aged of four to five were involved in the usability testing and their progress in individual fine and gross motor skills was compared. The results of the research show that the proposed program is usable in practice and at the same time give suggestions for its modifications for further use.

Digital PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a method that enables absolute quantification of DNA sequences and therefore finds application in many diagnostic disciplines. We focused on the diagnosis of trisomy 21, which manifests itself as Down syndrome. Information about the fetal genome can be obtained from free fetal DNA that is released into the mother's bloodstream from the placenta during pregnancy. In the first trimester, fetal DNA constitutes approximately 5-10% of free DNA and is therefore a suitable target for non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). However, we need a technique that is able to distinguish this relatively small fraction of free fetal DNA and differentiate it from free maternal DNA. Precisely digital PCR provides various ways to achieve this goal thanks to its wide multiplexing possibilities. We focused on optimizing the multiplex reaction, which in one fluorescence channel distinguishes the number of copies of the reference chromosome 18 and the observed chromosome 21. The resulting determination of this ratio provides us with information regarding the balance between the chromosomes and can thus confirm or refute the presence of a trisomic fetal fraction. We tested the usability of the proposed method for clinical application by examining DNA samples isolated from 25 plasma...

The topic of the bachelor thesis is the issue of social services for families with children with Down syndrome as a target group for social services. The theoretical part defines the concepts related to Down syndrome and associated mental retardation, concepts related to social services, education and its interconnection with the social services system in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part of the thesis includes a list of social services and their providers that families with children can theoretically use together with other helping organisations. This part of the bachelor thesis fulfils two objectives: to map social services for families with children with Down syndrome and to map the providers of these services. The third objective of the thesis, to find out the experiences of families with social services, is fulfilled by the practical part of the bachelor thesis, which was carried out in the form of qualitative research using the method of semi-structured interviews with families with a child with Down syndrome. To achieve the results, three research questions were set: What organisations in the Czech Republic provide social services to families with a child with Down syndrome? What social services do these families actually use? Are these social services perceived by families as sufficient? The results of the survey show that families with children with Down syndrome are aware of social services and their providers and some of them use them or know that they will in the future. It is also evident that if they combine the use of social services with the services of helping organisations that focus specifically on children with Down syndrome, their service needs are currently met and the services are perceived as sufficient thanks to the complementary helping organisations.

Down syndrome is the most frequent genetic disorder that is present in average among one out of 700 children born alive. Every child born with Down syndrome bears in his/her cells abnormal amount of chromosome 21. The child born with Down syndrome requires different care and approach then other children because of a presence of various stages of mental retardation and affiliated diseases. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to introduce the issue of Down syndrome to the public. Furthermore, to map out parents´ satisfaction with nursing care in the hospital in which their child with Down syndrome is hospitalised and to survey the differences in nursing care of children with Down syndrome in the framework of hospitalisation at children´s department from the nurses´ point of view. This aim is reached through a qualitative research which was implemented as a half-structured interview with parents whose children have Down syndrome, and with nurses from different children´s departments. The first part of the thesis describes Down syndrome in theory. Its forms, history, characteristic traits, affiliated diseases, diagnostics and specific care in various fields are described. The practical part processes and analyses used interviews with both mentioned groups; for an analysis of the research data a method of open coding is used. The implemented interviews with parents imply a real satisfaction with hospitalisation of their children, however a dissatisfaction with the way of giving information about their child´s diagnosis of Dawn syndrome. Out of 9 mothers, 5 of them were not satisfied with the way of providing this information and they mostly complained about their husbands´ absence. Thanks to interviews with nurses, some differences in care of these children were discovered. It mostly deals with a different approach, better surveillance due to a mental retardation and more explanation and assurance whether the child understood. Even the higher rate of aggressivity of these children was discovered. Therefore, emphatic and sensitive approach is important. The conclusion of the research states higher difficulty of nursing care and satisfaction of parents with their child´s hospitalisation; there are some exceptions and there is much room for improvement on both sides. Particularly it is necessary to improve doctors´ approach to providing the parents with information about diagnosing their child with Down syndrome.

This bachelor thesis deals with one of the most common problems, from which the people with Down syndrome suffer flat foot. Flat foot appears along with this illness more often than with healthy population. This fact is given by the presence of excessive amount of collagen type VI, also by generalised low muscle tone (hypotonia) and hypermobility. Human foot is a very important part of the musculoskeletal system and performs statical, as well as dynamical function. The sole is capable of kindly taking to the terrain on which it moves. The foot ensures the stability of the either standing or moving body, moreover it is source of proprioceptive information from minor planta. To perform these functions, it is necessary that arch of the foot is properly created, to centre stance of joints of the foot be set and no other deformations be present. Many information about the treatment of healthy children for flat foot can be found in professional literature, but unfortunately no information about the treatment of children with such genetical burden so far. Many opinions about the flat foot treatment occur among the professional community, next to starting active exercise it is often recommended to wait with the treatment till further age or use only passive orthopaedical tools. This thesis aims to bring closer the possibilities of the flat foot treatment of children with Down syndrome. In the theoretical part, the Down syndrome is described, its cause of creation and characteristics. Attention is given to signs of the disease on the musculoskeletal system. Moreover, the theoretical part discusses the human foot, its anatomy, kinesiology, its functions and most common deformity flat foot. The diagnostics of the flat foot is described as well the Chippaux - Šmiřák method. The practical part of the thesis is carried out by casuistries with the help of qualitative research.

The Bachelor's thesis focuses on practical life exercises for preschool children with Down syndrome; that is, Montessori education. It is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The first chapter of the theoretical part concentrates on alternative education, or more precisely, on alternative schools. The second chapter deals with the life and activities of Maria Montessori, the founder of one of the alternative schools. The third chapter then addresses the Montessori education and Montessori schools. The fourth chapter examines development of a preschool child. The fifth chapter discusses school maturity and school readiness of a child. The sixth chapter then in more detail describes children with Down syndrome. The last chapter of the theoretical part is focused on preschool institutions in the Czech Republic following the principles of the Montessori education. It also mentions the relationship between Montessori education and Montessori therapy. The practical part of the Bachelor's thesis was carried out using qualitative research method. The research survey was conducted in the Children's Centre Pomněnka in České Budějovice from September 2015 to March 2016. The information and data needed for the research were gathered by observations of girls with Down syndrome and also by a semi-structured interview with the centre's pedagogical employees. The data analysis method was used to process the obtained data. The main aim of the thesis was to determine in which way the practical life exercises (according to Maria Montessori's principles) can support the development of children with Down syndrome. Subgoals and research subquestions were specified in order to achieve the set aim. The research showed which activities are the most difficult for the girls with Down syndrome in the Children's Centre Pomněnka. Based on these findings, new and adapted aids were created that are helpful in practical life. The research also proved that these aids are beneficial to the girls with Down syndrome, especially to their autonomy and self care. Mostly, such aids develop motor skills, improve the eye-hand coordination and also influence child's thinking, attention and patience. During research, some factors that have a significant impact on the activities of the girls with Down syndrome were observed, such as tiredness, current mood, motivation and readiness of the surroundings. It is necessary to pay attention to these factors and this way support the performance of such children and their ability to concentrate. The practical use of these newly created aids show that they fulfil their intended purpose and that they are helpful in practical life according to principles and methods of Montessori education. Both adapted aids, which were made based on this Bachelor's thesis, will remain in the Children's Centre Pomněnka in České Budějovice and will be available for the children. The Bachelor's thesis can also provide information to parents, pedagogical workers, educators or students of pedagogy and to educate them in the issue of daily life exercises of the Montessori education.
