  21. Basal ganglia function. 
  22. Lumbar spine and its relationship to the pelvic girdle, muscle chains in the axial organ in relation to the pelvis. 
  23. Functions of the limbic system. 
  24. Pelvic girdle and its function in standing and locomotion. 
  25. Functions of the cerebral cortex. 
  26. Lower limb as a whole, muscle chains acting on the lower limb.

  52. Trunk stabilization. 
  53. Emotion. Awerness and sleeping. Fatigue in motion. 
  54. Load handling (manipulation with heavy objects), ergonomics of the physiotherapist's work. 
  55. Functions of the pyramidal pathway. 
  56. Activity in open and closed kinematic chain. 
  57. Functions of the extrapyramidal system.
