  • Attendace - 39 hours per semester
  • Preparation for the Course Credit - 15 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The main goals of the lessons are to inform students about kinesiotherapy examination methods of locomotor system (e.g. range of motion examination, examination of hypermobility, muscle dysbalances, spine function test, basic movement stereotypes).
Student is able within the framework of the clinical practice to apply examination methods as follows: Janda´s muscle test, goniometry, examination of muscle imbalances, examination of hypermobility.
Prerequisites
The prerequisity for study of this course is sufficient knowledge og human anatomy. Knowledge of kinesiology of human locomotor system is the fundamental prerequisity of mastering of diagnostic methods.

Assessment methods and criteria
Written exam, Analysis of Activities ( Technical works), Didactic Test
