Learning outcomes
The course builds on the knowledge gained in the functional anatomy of the locomotor and nervous systems, and further extends it, especially in relation to clinical practice. Students will acquire knowledge of central mechanisms of motor and locomotive control from a clinical point of view, as well as other functions such as fatal functions, senses, etc. The student should understand the basic physiological functions of CNS, neuron physiology and functional manifestations of the nervous system. Students will use this information in other professional subjects.
Expertise: The student is able to describe and analyze motor control, fatal functions, sight and other senses on the level of CNS and PNS. Professional skills: The student applies the acquired knowledge in individual physiotherapeutic concepts on a neurophysiological basis and implements a comprehensive physiotherapeutic program. General eligibility: The student is able to apply the acquired knowledge in individual physiotherapeutic concepts on a neurophysiological basis and implements a comprehensive physiotherapeutic program.
