Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
Graduates of the subject should be able to reasonably consider the relationship between the physiological and pathological functions of the central and peripheral nervous system, the muscular apparatus and sensory organs. After completing the subject, the student should be able to perform a basic orientation neurological examination.
Learning outcomes
Graduates will be able to:
1. to name and explain the relationships between the pathophysiological processes in the peripheral, central and musculoskeletal system and the basic disorders in this area;
2. Discuss the possible causes and consequences of damage in the nervous system;
3. Carry out basic orientation neurological examinations.
