Annotation
The aim of the course is to understand and gain knowledge about the functioning of neuronal networks of different levels in relation to their so-called functional and morphological disorders with respect to the control of human motor control and programming under pathological conditions. Introduction to theories of movement control including information processing, control loops and motor programming.
Includes examination of teaching, feedback, practice, and motivation as variables in motor learning. Clinical application of research from the neuroscience, and physical therapy.
