Learning outcomes
|
Aim of the course is to provide the comprehensive insight and understanding of the mechanisms of motor control and human motor performance, and the principles of motor learning. These areas of knowledge are applied to the subjects both with typical development, and with developmental disorders and other disabilities.
The student - understands the principles of human motor control and functional mechanisms of human motor learning, - is able to describe the differences in motor capabilities and skills in the typical population and individuals with various physical, perception and motor disorders, - is able prepare and administer a diagnostic test of motor capabilities and skills, and interpret results of testing according to the basic principles, - understands the basics of motor learning research.
