  Learning outcomes of the course

  Students are able to describe the key conditions for reliable biomechanical examinations and they master the basics of biomechanics. They know how to carry out examinations of lower extremities that are non-weight bearing and weight bearing, in order to identify any possible abnormalities occurring in the biomechanics and alignments of the lower extremities and feet. Students are able to observe the postures of clients of different ages reliably and identify their typical characteristics and any abnormalities that may occur. Students apply examinations and tests measuring the functioning and balance of people of different ages when assessing the effectiveness of podiatric treatment.
  
  Students are able to apply the biomechanical basics of gait when examining a client’s mobility. Students are able to assess the client’s mobility through visual observation and by means of movement analysis systems.
  
  Students describe the structure of a neuron, the generation and conduction of action potentials (nerve impulses) and the transmission of action potentials from one neuron to the next. They explain development of the nervous system in general terms, its basic structure and the key functions of its parts. In particular, students describe the pathways of the key nerves of the lower extremities and list the muscle groups and skin areas innervated by these. They identify the most common types of nerve damage and their symptoms. Students are able to explain the basic principles of the body’s hormonal regulation and the regulation of glucose metabolism.
  
  The students communicate fluently and effectively in English in their studies and in the professional discourse of their own field. They can also apply their English skills to the development of their professional competence. They communicate naturally in multicultural contexts, taking into account the special demands of different communication situations and the cultural and linguistic backgrounds of the participants.
  The students can acquire, process, and convey information necessary in their own field both orally and in writing, using different sources.
  The students form a realistic view of their linguistic and communicative competence and a positive attitude to developing this competence as a part of their professional expertise. Their oral and written communication skills correspond to the skill level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
