Aims

Obtaining an overview of basic movement stereotypes, the functioning of the locomotive system as a whole, movement control, an overview of the most common muscle imbalances, post-traumatic conditions, neurological disabilities and their solutions.
Students will acquire important knowledge of functional anatomy and will be able to recognize basic functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
Graduate of the course will be able to design aids and instruments for examination of the locomotor apparatus. Learning outcomes of the course unit The subject will enable the student to know the functional nature of movement, which will be reflected in the student's readiness for the development of compensation aids and devices for patients after injuries and operations of the locomotive apparatus, after injuries and diseases of the nervous system. The graduate will know the basic terms and their relations in the area of ​​locomotive apparatus, movement control, movement stereotypes and pathological functional states. The practical exercise will verify the ability of students to apply the acquired theoretical knowledge in selected physical activities and activities.
The written exam verifies that the student is able to explain the basic terms and their relations in the area of ​​locomotive apparatus; describe basic investigative methods and pathologies in this area; describe basic exercise methods and their practical use; choose the appropriate approach and method for the issue in question; describe the essence of movement stereotypes, the origin and solution of their disorders; explain possibilities of improvement of physical activities during reversible damage of locomotive apparatus; explain the possibilities of compensatory aids and devices to compensate for reversible and permanent damage to the locomotor system.
