Learning outcomes
The course is conceived as theoretical, it is based on anatomy and physiology of nervous system. These skills are the conditions for the completion of a clinical subject. It familiarizes students with the basic principles of functional neurologic systems and with the types of their disorders. It provides basic knowledge about the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the nervous system. The aim of the subject is to understand the functioning of the nervous system, including special examinations in neurology, which are a condition for the application of concepts and methods of physiotherapy on a neurophysiologic basis.
Subject Knowledge: Student can describe the basic mechanisms of neurological disorders and is familiar with professional terminology. Student can explain the essence of disorders of motor, sensitive, extrapyramidal and spinal syndromes, dysfunction of autonomous system, syndrome of intracranial hypertension and meningeal syndrome. Subject Skills: Student is able to understand the problems of general neurology, and can implement the knowledge gained into the physiotherapeutic concepts, methods and procedures, which are based on neurology.
Prerequisites
