Learning outcomes
The subject is structured as theoretical and is based on the anatomy basics and physiology of nervous system. This knowledge is a requirement for enrolling to the classes of a clinical subject. It makes students familiar with the fundamentals of individual functional neurological systems and types of their disorders. It provides basic information about the causes, diagnostics, treatement and prevention of nervous system disorders. The goal of the subject is to provide understanding of nervous system functioning including special examination in neurology which is a requirement for applying concepts and methods of occupational therapy on neurophysiological basis.
Subject knowledge: Students can describe basic mechanisms regarding creation of neurological disorders including special examination in neurology which are necessary conditions for applying conceptual procedures of occupational therapy on neurophysiologic base. The student can use professional terminology. Professional Skills: The student is aware of the issues of special neurology and can examine peripheral and central nervous system from the view of a physiotherapist. He can apply gained knowledge to physiotherapeutic concepts which use for their application and diagnostics a neurophysiologic basis.
Prerequisites
