Course Content

Physiotherapy and rehabilitation specific evaluations (history, school/game status, functional status/limitation, activity level, primitive/postural reflexes/reactions, muscle tone, range of motion, sensory integrity) applied in pediatric special populations (cerebral palsy, musculoskeletal dysfunction).Posture, walking, balance, locomotion, assistive device, cognitive state, skin integrity depending on the equipment used) will be covered in the course. Indication/contraindications of treatment methods (postural control, stabilization, awareness training, neuromuscular training, motor-sensory training, locomotion/gait training, neurodevelopmental activity training, neuromuscular training, use and training of assistive/protective devices and equipment), effects of therapeutic exercise applications, the disorder is tackled in the context of the course in an activity-participation approach.
