Neurology (NUNK_011)
About Study Course
Objective
To facilitate the acquisition of knowledge about the pathogenesis of the main diseases of the nervous system, clinical manifestations thereof, the basic principles of treatment and the objectives of rehabilitation in the care.
Prerequisites
Preliminary theoretical knowledge in anatomy and physiology of the nervous system.
Learning outcomes
As a result of completing the study course, the student is able to do the following:
• to tell how to assess a neurological patient;
• to list and describe the aetiology, pathogenesis and clinical picture of the most common neurological diseases;
• to describe and justify rehabilitation objectives and explain the use of orthoses in the rehabilitation and care stages of different neurological diseases or syndromes;
• to set and justify rehabilitation objectives for patients with neurological disorders.
As a result of completing the study course, the student will be able:
• to perform and assess the patient’s neurological condition;
• to apply the acquired knowledge in topical diagnosis to recognise and clarify the localisation of neurological lesions and the main syndromes;
• to identify rehabilitation tasks;
• to draw up a rehabilitation plan for patients with a neurological disease and its sequelae;
• to predict the likely outcome of the disease and treatment.
As a result of successfully completing the study course, the student is able:
• to recognise the symptoms of the most common neurological diseases, differentiate between them, substantiate and logically explain the neurological diagnosis;
• to develop rehabilitation objectives and basic tasks appropriate for the specific neurological clinical situation.
