Course content
Lectures 1. Introduction to the subject. Division of specialized parts. Basic concepts (movement, movement patterns, motor learning, premotor, motor activity), principles of movement, structures of movement (passive, active). 2. Mechanics and biomechanics. A body like a body. Gravitation. Balance. Positions. 3. Lever system - partition. Effect of external and internal forces on the lever. 4. Receptors. Types of nerve fibers. Excitement´s conduction. Motor unit. 5. Types of nerve damage. 6. The importance of proprioception (nerve-spindle, Golgi's tendon body). 7. Gamma loop, alpha-gamma co-activation. Reciprocating motor innervation. Reflexes - partition. 8. Motoneuron function control - spinal Level. 9. Motoneuron function control - supraspinal level (meaning of the brain stem, cerebellum, reticular formation, basal ganglia, limbic system). 10. Motion control at the cortical level. Pyramidal pathways. 11. Extrapyramidal pathways. Visceral motorics.
