| Summary: | The goal of this thesis was determine whether we can to use an inertial system for measuring the activity of the upper limb signs of paresis in the rehabilitation of people after brain damage with a diverse range of upper limbs functional damage, and demonstrating the expected increase in this activity. One way to obtain objective information about the activity of the upper limb signs of paresis is the use of inertial systems. 21 people who went to therapy on the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine First Faculty of Medicine Charles University in Prague and General University Hospital in Prague were measured. Each of them suffered brain damage more than a year ago and also had impaired upper limb mobility. The behavior of the upper limb signs of paresis were evaluated from data obtained by inertial system and by Jebsen-Taylor test. Inertial units were located on the left and right wrist and left side at the waist. An inertial system measurement was carry out at home about 12 hours a day for 4 weeks, when the persons responsible for training specified exercises. Jebsen-Taylor test was conducted at the beginning of the study, as the initial measurement, and after 4 weeks, as the output measurement. The obtained data were statistically evaluated by Wilcoxon paired test. By comparing the average...
