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 focused on the reeducation of static and locomotor functions, range and strength of movement, respiratory functions and fitness, as well as coordination and relaxation. They will learn to perform these procedures practically.
The student utilizes the acquired skills within clinical practice and is able to compile a detailed kinesiotherapy unit from the learned kinesiotherapeutic procedures, or modify it to suit specific situations and the patient's health conditions.
Prerequisites
A sufficient knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, general physiology, and neurophysiology is required. A fundamental prerequisite for successfully completing the course is also the understanding of the theoretical foundations of kinesiotherapy in physiotherapy with practical application.

Assessment methods and criteria
