Course content
Theory and practical testing of skeletal muscles of the trunk and lower limbs according to the principles and criteria established by Kendall and modified by Janda. Ventral and dorsal trunk musculature, musculature of the pelvis. Lower extremity muscles - hip, knee, ankle. Assessment and testing of shortened muscles. Hypermobility. The total scope of the course is 54 hours, including 30 contact hours and 24 non-contact hours.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training), Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming), Demonstration, Training in job and motor Skils
Learning outcomes
Theory and practical testing of torso and limb muscles according to Kendall with Janda's modifications.
Upon completion of the course students will be able to test individual muscles strength; based on the theory and practical skills they will be able to prescribe therapy according to Kendall and Janda criteria. They will be able to assess shortened and weakend muscles as well as evaluate the extent of hypermobility in a patient.
