Learning outcomes
The course introduces students to the basics of kinesiotherapy, which is one of the main therapeutic methods in physiotherapy. Students will gain information about the methodological principles of conducting kinesiotherapy and its basic procedures, which they will learn to perform also practically.
The student understands the principles of selected exercises and is able to compile a detailed kinesiotherapy session from the learned kinesiotherapeutic procedures, or modify it to suit specific situations and the patient's health conditions.
Prerequisites
Sufficient knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, general physiology, and neurophysiology is required. A fundamental prerequisite for successful completion of the course is also knowledge of the theoretical foundations of kinesiology and its application in physiotherapy practice.
