1. Evaluation of neuromuscular function a. Assessment of Hoffman reflex
and motor evoked potentials b. Assessing the stretch reflex c. Using
electromyography for deeper insight into neuromuscular function d. Twitch
methods for deeper insight into neuromuscular function e. Assessing postural
control with an emphasis on postural trunk reactions 2. Assessing muscular
strength a. Muscular strength and asymmetries in muscular strength as risk
factors and consequence of injuries b. Assessing isometric muscle strength
c. Assessing isokinetic muscle strength 3. Assessing kinesthesia a. Methods to
for assessment of force sensation b. Methods for assessment of position
sensation c. Qualitative kinesthetic tests 4. Using high-technology
measurements and biomechanical approaches a. Assessing foce:velocity:power
relationship as a hollistic indicator of voluntary muscular function b. Using
3D kinematic analysis for assessing movement quality c. Advanced assessments of
balance and stability (different analyses related to control of center of
pressure) 5. Advanced assessments of aerobic and anaerobic function
a. Assessing maximal oxygen consumption b. Assessing anaerobic capacity
(Wingate test) c. Basal metabolism measurements 6. Assessing sedentary behavior
and physical activity levels a. Objective measurements (accelerometers)
b. Subjective measurements (questionnaires) 7. The role of advanced assessment
methods in the processes of diagnostics, treatment and injury preventions
a. Justifying the use of advance methods b. Choosing the appropriate method for
a particular patient
