Learning outcomes
The student will have the opportunity to verify the theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired during the previous studies at selected workplaces where rehabilitation is a rational form of treatment. They will get acquainted with the specifics of rehabilitation care in individual clinical disciplines (physiotherapy, orthopedics, neurology, neurosurgery, traumatology, surgery, internal medicine, geriatrics, pediatrics). Students will be divided into smaller groups, under the supervision of a physiotherapist, with whom they can also consult individual clinical cases. Part of the course is the basic orientation in the health documentation.
The aim of the course is to apply the theoretical knowledge and skills acquired during the study to the specific motion-cognitive pathology in a real patient. The student will gain a synthetic view of movement therapy in clinical conditions. After completing the course, the student should master the basic rehabilitation care algorithm including complex kinesiological examination, detection of the main movement problem, definition of a short-term and long-term rehabilitation plan and selection of appropriate rehabilitation techniques.
