PSZZ245 - Theoretical State Exam Clinical and Developmental Kinesiology 

  1. Axial organ (including functional anatomy, uprighting mechanisms, phylogenetic relationships, stability - biomechanical and neurophysiological components, relationships of functional and structural disorders of the axial organ and movement behaviour).  

  2. Upper limbs and their function in health and disease (including functional anatomy, phylogenetic relationships, functional vs. structural disorders in individual joints with implications for the locomotor system, specific functions of the human hand).  
  3. The lower limbs and their functions in health and disease (including functional anatomy, phylogenetic relationships, functional vs. structural disorders in individual joints with implications for the musculoskeletal system, formation of the collodiaphyseal angle, the lower limb axis).  
  4. Joint function and disorders (including the structure of individual joint types, kinesiological implications of joint shape, blockade theory, hypermobility, intra-articular, extra-articular disorders, the principle of centration, functional vs. structural disorders in individual joints with implications for the musculoskeletal system).  
  5. Muscle and ligament function and disorders (including muscle and ligament structure in relation to shape, fibre type and length, intramuscular coordination, recruitment of muscle units, types of contraction (energy demand, training principle), changes in muscle tension and stretchability of non-contractile parts of the muscle, functional vs. structural disorders in individual tissues with implications for the musculoskeletal system).  
  6. The importance of logistic function for movement (including metabolic and circulatory prerequisites for muscle work, aerobic vs. anaerobic, extreme situations (high altitude climate, humidity, temperature), stress reaction, sleep, immunity, principles of regenerative processes).  
  7. Neural and mechanical transmission of information in the musculoskeletal system, chaining of muscle activity (including how information is transmitted in the NS and possible disturbances, muscle loops and chains, fascial functions and their disturbances, joint blockages, changes in other soft tissues).  
  8. Control of motor functions (including hierarchy of control levels, "general movement pattern generator", functional relationships between different part of NS including autonomic, basic CNS centres and their functions, functional vs. structural disorders in individual NS levels with implications for the motor system).  
  9. Sensory functions, nociception, perception and their relationship to movement behaviour (including sensory integration, acute and chronic pain, rating scales, gnostic functions, body schema).  
  10. Balance functions (including vestibular system, organisation of balance functions, protective reactions, balance disorders and their implications for movement behaviour).  
  11. Whole-body aspect of the myoskeletal system, movement confidence and stability (including types of stabilising mechanisms, local symptomatic and overall causal therapeutic management).  
  12. Postural and locomotor (gross) motor, dexterous and communicating (fine) motor (including control centres, phylogenetic and ontogenetic relationships, diagnosis of individual clinical manifestations).  
  13. Psychosomatics in physiotherapy. Relationship between state of mind and posture (including psychosomatic diseases, influence of the state of the motor system on psychological functions, stress reaction acute, chronic, immunity, phylogenetic relationships).  
  14. Basic starting body postures at rest, postural and goal-directed readiness and their influence on movement performance (including control of muscle tension levels and their disturbance, relaxation techniques, selective segmental activity and relaxation).
