The subject content is work with instrumentation in the context of the musculoskeletal system. The student is introduced to both theoretical and practical measurement procedures in the work of a physiotherapist. Practically, the student will study ultrasonography, stress measurements, kinematic analysis, pedobarography and other procedures. Objectification methods are included with the so-called state courses, forming an important part of the physiotherapist's education. The teaching is designed both by theoretical lectures and compulsory practical work in laboratories. Knowledge of objectification methods should guide the student in the preparation of his/her thesis.
Aim of the course
Last update: PhDr. Mgr. Jitka Malá, Ph.D. (20.09.2023)
The aim of the course is to equip the student with such knowledge, skills and general competences that after its completion:
- Demonstrates the ability to assess the appropriateness of the use of objectification methods for given movement program objectives, manifestations and disorders - demonstrates knowledge of the use of electromyography, posturography, cardiovascular stress testing, sonography and its use in musculoskeletal diagnosis, thermography, qualitative image analysis of movement
- is able to take a critical view of the use of given methods in relation to a given problem
- is able to understand medical reports with a clinical focus on imaging methods
- be able to decide which objectification procedure is appropriate for a given patient diagnosis
