Clinical Physiotherapy,. Functional Diagnostics: Functional Diagnostics in Developmental Age
1855-F4-DFWWR-SJ
The aim of the subject is to familiarize students with dysfunctions and physiotherapeutic diagnostics in psychomotor disorders in developmental age. During lectures and exercises, the student acquires knowledge in the field of functional assessment of newborns and infants based on current and reliable diagnostic methods, learns about the methods of functional assessment of children with postural-motor disorders based on the guidelines for assessing body posture and the level of motor development in accordance with the ICF-CY classification, acquires skills in the functional assessment of children of preschool and school age with sensory processing disorders.
