Course Content
The physiological mechanisms of facilitation and inhibition; muscle fiber types and their importance in exercise; basic characteristics of proprioceptive exercises; basic characteristics of vestibular exercises; basic characteristics of balance exercises; and methods for applying these exercises according to the clinical stage of the disease.
Objectives of the Course
In the rehabilitation of patients with neurological problems, in addition to specific assessment and evaluation methods, it is necessary to understand the proprioceptive, vestibular system, special exercises used for equilibrium education and exercises for facilitation-inhibition, and to improve the clinical decision-making problem-solving skills in this subject.
