Annotation
The aim of the course is to teach students differential-diagnostic thinking from the perspective of a physiotherapist, to acquire knowledge and skills in the analysis and differential diagnosis of functional motor disorders based on generally valid functional relationships. The aim is also to acquire knowledge and skills in the widest range of special functional tests that are necessary to determine the basic disorder in the system and thus the direction and method of therapy of the disorder.
