Basics of medical terminology (aetiology, incidence, prevalence, etc.)
Anatomy of the lower body o Bones, muscles, ligaments and other structures of
the lumbar spine and sacro-iliac joint o Bones, muscles, ligaments and other
structures of the pelvic girdle and the hip o Bones, muscles, ligaments and
other structures of the leg o Bones, muscles, ligaments and other structures of
the foot o Function of the lower body muscles Neuromuscular control of movement
with emphasis on the lower body o Inter-muscular coordination of cyclic
movements (running) o Inter-muscular coordination of acyclic movements (jump,
landing, kick) o Development of movement patterns and motor learning
Biomechanics of the lower body o Key biomechanical kinematic and kinetic
parameters of the lower limbs and lower trunk o Correct and harmful movement
patterns of the lower body Mechanisms of injury development from biomechanical
viewpoint Epidemiology of the lower body injuries o The prevalence of lower
limb injuries in different sports o Epidemiology of lumbar spine and sacro-ilic
joint injuries in sport o The prevalence of individual injuries of lower body
Most common lower body injuries o Facet pain, discogenic pain, hernia disci,
sacro-iliac joint pain, ankle injuries, anterior cruciate ligament injurie,
muscle strain, groin pain, knee collateral ligament injurie, anterior knee pain
Physical therapy of the lower body o Exercises for developing strength and
power of the lower trunk, hip, knee and ankle o Stretching exercises for the the
lower trunk, hip, knee and ankle o Local stabilization exercises for the the
lower trunk, hip, knee and ankle o Global stabilization exercises o Integration
and cyclization of different exercise modalities – analytical/local approach
o Integration and cyclization of different exercise modalities –
synthetical/global approach o Approaches to prevention and treatment of lumbar
spine and sacro-iliac joint injuries and deformations Supplementary techniques
in prevention and rehabilitation o Using bandages in prevention and
rehabilitation of the lower body injuries o Using elastic taping in prevention
and rehabilitation of the lower body injuries o Using physical agents (herbal
patches, ultrasound, thermotherapy, balneotherapy, electrical and magnetic
stimulation) in rehabilitation of the lower body injuries Clinical assessment of
the lower body o Palpation of the lower limb and lower trunk o Lower limb and
lower trunk muscle strength testing o Lower limb and lower trunk flexibility
testing o Functional tests for the lower body o Imaging techniques for
assessment of the lower body External risk factors for developing lower body
injuries o Equipment as a risk factor for lower body injuries o Training as a
risk factor for the lower body injuries o Environment as a risk factor for the
lower body injuries Internal risk factors for developing lower body injuries
o Age and sex as a risk factors for the lower body injuries o Body structure
and function as a risk factors for lower body injuries o Motor abilities as a
risk factors for the lower body injuries o Asymmetries in sports and their
elimination
