Annotation
The course follows the course "Clinical Kinesiology" and its main aim is to extend the knowledge of general kinesiology by so-called developmental principles. The course is aimed at understanding the dynamics of momentum development related to the gradual maturation of the CNS.
Among other things, the emphasis is placed on the fact that developmental kinesiology focused primarily on the first 12 to 18 months after birth is an important contribution to the study of movement and therapy of locomotor disorders. The course also includes an introduction to CKP and ICP (DMO) and practical exercises including patient demonstrations.
