For information on the duration of the modul, refer to the courses of study in which the module is used.
After completing the module, you will be able to explain the basic pathophysiological characteristics of selected diseases. You will be able to differentiate and assess the most common diseases, particularly in the fields of neurology, and possibly also in orthopedics, oncology, psychiatry, and internal medicine. You will apply various diagnostic procedures and methods to assess disease-induced deficits and rehabilitative progress. You will be able to plan and conduct experiments to differentially diagnose clinical pictures based on data. You will be able to present the experimental results at a scientific level.
In this module you will intensively study the pathophysiological principles of the most common neurological diseases, such as stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and dementia. Orthopedic, oncological, and internal medicine conditions will also be addressed where appropriate. You will explore the principles of neuroplasticity to understand how the brain adapts to injury and disease. You will also acquire knowledge in diagnosing nerve and muscle functions and somatosensory perception. Alternatively, orthopaedic, oncological and internal diseases are also discussed. You will learn various methods for diagnosing motor functions, including gait tests, balance tests and hand motor skills tests. Cognitive and psychiatric tests, such as the Beck Depression Inventory, will complement your diagnostic skills. You will explore various training and therapy forms used in both rehabilitation and elite sports. Finally, you will learn the fundamentals of experimental planning. You will carry out your own research project, usually in a group of two to three people, analyse the data statistically and present your results as part of the project seminar.
