Day 1: Systematic Neurological Examination, Measurement Methods, Goal Setting, and the Latest Evidence in Stroke Rehabilitation

This course focuses on systematic neurological examination, relevant measurement methods, goal setting, and the most recent evidence for the treatment of stroke patients.

Emphasis will be placed on how to establish a structured approach to neurological examination and select the most effective treatment for the patient based on the latest evidence. Participants will gain knowledge of brain anatomy and its clinical significance, neurological assessment methods, and neuroplasticity principles in rehabilitation.

The course further addresses the selection of relevant measurement methods, including the rationale for testing and which assessments are most appropriate. A brief introduction will also be given to commonly used ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) for drop foot, including their early application in rehabilitation. In addition, the importance of goal setting in neurorehabilitation will be highlighted.

Day 2: Electrical Stimulation in Neurological Rehabilitation (with primary focus on stroke, incomplete spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis patients)

Participants will be introduced to the theoretical background of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and the scientific evidence supporting its use. The course will cover training principles, types of electrical stimulation, and appropriate patient groups.

Further topics include:

Functional use of NMES (FES) for stroke, incomplete spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis patients.

NMES in relation to muscle overactivity/spasticity.

TENS for neuropathic pain.

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) for drop foot: available products on the market and their distinguishing features

English:

This course is designed for healthcare professionals working with pediatric patients who

present with musculoskeletal challenges and developmental concerns. Over several

days, participants will gain in-depth knowledge and practical skills related to

assessment and management of conditions such as idiopathic toe walking, brachial

plexus injuries, hip developmental disorders, torticollis, hypermobility, and foot

problems. The program combines theoretical lectures with clinical perspectives,

emphasizing non-surgical approaches, early intervention, and evidence-based practice.

At the end of the course, attendees will be equipped with tools to improve functional

outcomes and support optimal development in children.
