Course objectives
The subject introduces students to Kinesiology and Biomechanics of human motor system tissues. The main aim is to understand physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms of adaptation resp. maladaptation of human tissues to different types of stimuli. Acquired knowledge is applied to specific diagnostic and treatment procedures of particular human tissues and motor system as a whole.
Learning outcomes
Successful completion of the subject guarantees student's ability to:
- understand kinesiology relations
- understand principles of special examination and therapy techniques.
- diagnose pathology, select appropriate treatment modality, execute treatment within subject extent
- students will also be able to educate patients incl. instructions on self-therapy
- the study of this subject prepares students to clinical activities with patients

  • 02. Clinical anamnesis incl. its analysis.
  • 03. Diagnostics of skin, subdermal tissue and fascias.
  • 04. Diagnostics of muscles (tonus, trophic state, configuration, strength, length).
  • 05. Palpatory diagnostics.
  • 06. Basic anthropometric examination.
  • 07. Basic examination of axial skeleton range of movement (Thomayer index, Schober index etc.).
  • 08. Examination of peripheral joint range of movement (goniometry incl. examination of hypermobility).
  • 09. Aspectual diagnostics of lying, sitting and standing statics.
  • 10. Aspectual and palpatory diagnostics of dynamic movement patterns incl. gait.
  • 11. Kinesiology analysis.
Teaching methods
Students will be exposed to the subject in a form of a lecture that will be followed by practical seminar. These seminars focus on manual techniques of examination and therapy. Students are organized in small groups. Each particular technique is first demonstrated by experienced tutors. Practical training is on peer to peer basis under close supervision of tutors and correction of precise technique.
Assessment methods
In order to be admitted to the practical exam, it is necessary to meet sufficient attendance and tests scores. - attendance: 100% participation in classes (according to the study and examination regulations, 1 absence is allowed) - 70% point gain from tests (calculated from the score of the best one from the seminar group), in case of failure, credit test (1 attempt), must have min. 80 % score of maximum test points. - after fulfilling the conditions (attendance + tests) admission to the practical exam
