The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic chapters of neurology. Furthermore, let's get to know the latest news in this clinical field. Emphasis is also placed on the manifestations of individual diseases in the musculoskeletal system. Also selected typical patients will be demonstrated in relation to subsequent physiotherapy. An emphasis is placed on disorders of motor function, peripheral, spinal stem, subcortical and cortical structures, disorders of sensitive function. This course will continue following semester as a Neurology II.

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:

• demonstrate knowledge and are able to describe the etiology, pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of nervous system dysfunctions

• are equipped with basic theoretical knowledge of conservative and surgical treatment of neurological diseases
