Kurset fokuserer på undersøgelse og behandling af voksne patienter med lidelser i CNS, neurodynamisk mobilisering og planlægning af individuelle hjemmeprogrammer. Kurset veksler mellem teori og praktisk afprøvning af undersøgelse og behandling - først på hinanden, men på modul to inddrages patienter. Kurset består af to moduler, og der er en mindre hjemmeopgave imellem modul 1 og 2.
Kurset foregår på et let forståeligt engelsk.
Målgruppe: Fysioterapeuter, der arbejder med voksne neurologiske patienter med medfødte eller erhvervede hjerneskader
Indhold:
- Teoretisk gennemgang af nervesystemets normale neurodynamiske egenskaber og problemer som følge af neurologiske lidelser
- Gennemgang af undersøgelsesprocedurer og behandlingsmuligheder
- Patientdemonstrationer ved underviserne
- Gennemgang af neurodynamiske analyser i forbindelse med terapeutiske og funktionelle aktiviteter
- Praktiske øvelser samt patientundersøgelser og -behandling
- Hjemmeprogrammer
- Diskussion og opsamling undervejs

Integration of neurodynamics into neurorehabilitation’
focusing on adults with a brain lesion, in 2 parts
Course leader
Nora Kern MSc OMPT, Advanced Bobath Instructor IBITA, INN® Development and Main Instructor, NOI teacher neurology, PT Munich, Germany
Week 1: Focus on neurodynamic theory, tests, test analysis for neurological patients, movement analysis, communication
Week 2: Focus on integrating neurodynamic knowledge into assessment and treatment of adults after a lesion to the central nervous system, following a profound clinical reasoning, completed with joint techniques and aspects on perceptual disorders.
Course Description:
A 10 day’s course on the assessment and treatment of problems related to the loss of normal neurodynamics in adults with lesions to the central nervous system
The course includes:
- Lectures explaining normal biomechanics and physiological properties of the CNS
- Neurodynamic tests
- Theory about changed neurodynamics after neurological lesions, including perception disorders and malalignment
- Seminars on movement analysis of therapeutic and functional activities of daily life with special regard on neurodynamics
- Aspects of communication, feedback, interaction between therapist – patient – relatives – team members
- Assessment and treatment of adults after a CNS lesion, including handling, positioning, facilitation techniques from early intensive to late rehabilitation stage
- Introduction into manual mobilization techniques, adapted to neurological conditions, of the spine and some peripheral joints, combined with neural mobilization
- Demonstration of patient assessment and treatment by the course leader
- Practical sessions with the course participants working on each other and self-experiences
- Assessment and treatment of patients by the participants, specifically focused on changed neurodynamics after a CNS lesion
- Supervision, feedback and discussion after each treatment session
Course Objectives:
The course aims at teaching the participants how to:
- Assess the mobility of the nervous system as a whole with specific neurodynamic tests and palpation techniques for peripheral nerves
- Evaluate the quality of the resistance in the nervous system which is influencing normal mobility, muscle tone and selective active movements and as a cause of immobility, evasive movements and postures
- Differentiation between neural and target tissues
- Use neurodynamics for treatment interventions to regain the mobility of the nervous system in order to overcome problems of compensation, like evasive postures, disturbed sensation, distorted perception, abnormal patterns of movement and contractures
- Use correction of postures and positions as an indirect way to mobilize the nervous system
- Use target tissue mobilization techniques to overcome a loss of joint or tissue mobility as a local problem
- Facilitate normal selective movement patterns after nervous system mobilization
- Evaluate the treatment outcome by using evident or individually adapted measurement tools
- Use verbal and non-verbal communication skills to support the treatment effect
- Establish an adequate home-program.
