Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training), Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming), Methods of Written Work, Projection (static, dynamic), Training in job and motor Skils
  • Attendace - 78 hours per semester
  • Homework for Teaching - 20 hours per semester
  • Preparation for the Course Credit - 20 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The main goals of the lessons are to inform students about new kinesiotherapeutic methods (neuromuscular facilitation and inhibition) and about comprehensive treatment on the strength of functional anatomy, kinesiology, neurophysiology and kinesiotherapy. Students learn about soft tissue techniques which are important for treatment of structural and functional disorders of locomotor system.
The student uses the acquired knowledge in clinical practice, the student is able to choose a suitable examination method and technique and to practically apply it in the framework of comprehensive treatment.
Prerequisites
The prerequisite for the study of this subject is sufficient knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology, physiology and neurophysiology of movement control.

Assessment methods and criteria
Student performance, Analysis of linguistic, Analysis of Activities ( Technical works), Written exam

50 points in the practical exam, min 30 points in each part of the theoretical test (anatomical part, kinesiological part, clinical part)
