Course content
Morphological variability in clinical kinesiology. Visual-spatial "motor control": clinical usage. Specific patho-kinesiology of skeletal muscles in peripheral and muscular diseases. Developmental kinesiology and clinical applications of therapeutic "postural principle". Patho-kinesiology of postural and respiratory motorics and possibilities for voluntary re-education and reflexive correction. "Motor control" principle in analysis and therapy of motorics disorders. Specific patho-kinesiology of skeletal muscles: clinical-kinesiological correlations. Clinical applications of therapeutic "postural principle" in specific patients. Possibilities for re-education and reflexive correction of respiratory motorics. Clinical evaluations of "muscle tone" (I.). Postural therapy on the basis of developmental kinesiology.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training), Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
An overview of the neurophysiological concept of postural functions, regulation areas of motorics, motoric patterns, motoric ontogenesis; basic principals of CNS functions, movement control, and movement programming; neurokinesiology of human locomotion; muscle tone neurokinesiology and therapeutic methods used in its modification; spasticity issues.
Upon completion of the course students will be able to put theoretical knowledge toward the practical application of individual therapeutic principals in specific patients.
