fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
At the end of the course, students should be able to apply practically the methods used for examination of the functions of human neural system. Students will be capable of interpreting the acquired records with respect to physiological processes taking place in human organisms. Next, the students will derive and calculate other parameters and indices routinely used in clinical practice. Students will be able to evaluate the results acquired both by measurement and by calculation, and to explain possible deviations.
Learning outcomes
After finishing this subject, the student at the level of the field studied, will be able ;
• to perform a basic functional examination of the nervous systetm;
• interpret the acquired records in relation to physiological processes occurring in the nervous system;
• to derive and calculate other parameters commonly used in clinical practice;
• to evaluate the measured results and to explain any deviations
Syllabus
  • Examination of reflexes in man. Recording of Achille's tendon reflex -mechanical and electrical respons. Estimation of reaction time. Examination of muscle tone. Stabilometry.
