Learning outcomes
|
The course gives basic view on the issue of human neurophysiology - from the physiological processes of the cell to the higher cognitive functions. Theoretical backgrounds will be discussed to understand the basic neuropathology that the physiotherapist can encounter in common practice.
After completing this course, the student gains the theoretical basics of general and special motor neurophysiology for therapeutic applications in re-education of movement disorders.
