Course content
1. History and present of kinesiology, micro- a macro morphology, developmental and comparative anatomy, logistics and control of locomotor regulation. 2. Constitution and condition. Principle of determination of structure and function. Topics (questions) under discussion in rehabilitation. 3. Development, growth, and maturation of structures and functions of locomotor system, morphogeneric aspects. 4. Ontogenetic development of mucsulosceletal apparatus, embryonal and fetal phase, mechanisms of developments and their regulation, morfogeneric stimulation, ossification and growth of bones, eutrophic mechanisms of ligament and skeletal muscles. 5. Locomotor system as functional system of several subsystems. Functional point of view on structure and behaviour of tissues of locomotor system. 6. Functional anatomy of joint. Articulating bones, articular capsule, joint ligaments, oligo- and multisegmental muscles, ? , innervation of joints. Biomechanics of joints, statics, kinematics a trialogy. 7.Developments and comparative anatomy of some bones and joints, important in patology of locomotor system and in its rehabilitation. 8. Connective tissues. Ligament, its cellular and subcellular structure, hystheresis and other aspects important for rehabilitation. 9. Connective tissues. Cartilage and bone. Characteristics of cellular and microcellular structure and functions important for rehabilitation. 10. Skeletal muscle tissue.Characteristics of cellular and subcellular morphology important for movement, its maladies and thein rehabilitation. 11. Muscle fibres in details, metabolism; motor unit, types of functional connections and kontrol of skeletal muscles. 12. Types of muscle contractions. Functional anatomy of skeletal muscles. 13. Neurophysiology and neuroanatomy of motor behaviour, poruch a možnosti rehabilitace. Neuronal circuit, network, plasticity of structures of CNS, practical interpretation in rehabilitation.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training), Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming)
  • Attendace - 26 hours per semester
  • Preparation for the Course Credit - 10 hours per semester
  • Homework for Teaching - 18 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The course aims to get students acquainted with fundamentals of morphological and functional kinesiology from the point of view of functional pathology of locomotor system, its treatment and rehabilitation.
Student is able to use the gained knowledge in clinical practice, to choose the appropriate diagnostics method and/or technique and to apply it within the framework of comprehensive treatment.
Prerequisites
The prerequisities are as follows: sufficient knowledge of anatomy, kineziology, physiology and neurophysiology of human movement.
