Course content
|
The course provides an introduction to anatomy of selected muscles and muscle groups, as well as classification of muscles with tendency for shortening and weakening. It also introduces the topic of crossed patterns/syndromes (Janda's syndromes), diagnostics and compensation treatment of muscle imbalances, as well as body posture and its correction.

Learning outcomes
|
The course aim is to provide an introduction to anatomy of selected muscles and muscle groups, especially classification of muscles with shortening/weakening tendency. It will also introduce the topic of crossed patterns/syndromes (Janda's syndromes). The main aim is to teach students how to diagnose muscle imbalances as well as incorrect body posture and how to compensate them through appropriate corrective exercise.
Student will know the muscles and muscle groups that have shortening/weakening tendency. He/she will know the influence of the muscle shortenings and weakenings on body posture as well as the health consequences of incorrect body posture. Student will gain basic knowledge on crossed patterns/syndromes (Janda's syndromes). He/she will know to diagnose basic imbalances and will know to suggest (recommend) their appropriate compensation treatment (corrective exercises).
