Annotation

Last update: PhDr. Mgr. Helena Vomáčková, Ph.D. (26.10.2019)

Teaching in the subject follows the course "Clinical neurophysiology". The aim of the course is to acquire basic knowledge and knowledge about human movement. Furthermore, to develop knowledge of the control processes of the movement system so that students will be able to apply these in clinical practice. Part of the course is also the analysis of the structure and function of individual segments of the human body, taking into account the role of their disorders in the context of the whole body.

Aim of the course

Last update: Mgr. Michaela Stupková (14.02.2024)

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 general principles of clinical kinesiology
• demonstrates knowledge of basic kinesiological principles of the axial organ
• demonstrates knowledge of basic kinesiological principles of the upper limb
• demonstrates knowledge of basic kinesiological principles of the lower limb
• demonstrates knowledge of basic kinesiological principles of mutual functional relationships
• demonstrates the ability to implement kinesiology principles into clinical practice
