The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the therapeutic approach of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation according to Kabat and with the possibilities of its use in diagnostics and therapy from the perspective of a physiotherapist. After completing the course, students will acquire knowledge and skills in performing procedures (diagonal), including the application of relaxation and fitness techniques in the area of upper limbs, legs, trunk, and head.

Aim of the course

Learning Outcomes:

The aim of the course is to provide students with the knowledge, skills and general competencies so that after the completion of the course the students:

• demonstrates knowledge of the principles and facilitation of elements of Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation according to Kabat

• demonstrates knowledge of flexion and extension patterns for the upper limbs and demonstrates the ability to perform flexion and extension diagonals for the upper limbs

• demonstrates knowledge of flexion and extension patterns for the lower limbs and demonstrates the ability to perform flexion and extension diagonals for the lower limbs

• demonstrates knowledge of the formulas for the head, upper and lower torso and demonstrates the ability to perform these diagonals

• demonstrates knowledge of the formulas for the scapula and pelvis and demonstrates the ability to perform these diagonals

• demonstrates knowledge of relaxation and strengthening techniques and demonstrates the ability to use these techniques to relax or strengthen specific muscle groups
