Annotation

Teaching in the subject follows the course "Clinical neurophysiology". The aim of the course is to acquire basic knowledge and knowledge about human movement.

Furthermore, to develop knowledge of the control processes of the movement system so that students will be able to apply these in clinical practice. Part of the course is also the analysis of the structure and function of individual segments of the human body, taking into account the role of their disorders in the context of the whole body.
