Abstract
The aim of the course is to gain palpation skills in differential diagnosis and therapy of movement segments, including the axial skeleton based on theoretical knowledge and topographic anatomy of soft tissues and joint structures.
Learning outcomes
The student masters an independent examination of the myoskeletal system in the differential diagnosis, is able to choose and apply an adequate form of movement segment therapy based on theoretical knowledge and practical skills and educate the patient about the relevant form of autotherapy.
