Study Guide

Objective

The student is able to
• explain the impact of the constraints, symptoms and medical measures with the function of the pelvic area and lower limb functions and with the functional ability of clients at different ages, too,
• examine and evaluate reliably the range of motions, specific muscle strength, elasticity of soft tissue, mobility of neurons and proprioception by using physiotherapy examination methods,
• draw up conclusions in right direction to explain the functional problems of the client on all levels of ICF,
• explain the basics of therapeutic exercise, manual therapy and instruction to promote, maintain and advance the client’s motion and participation.
