Brief description

In this module, current scientific findings on diagnostics, treatment and problems are theoretically deepened at a high scientific level, especially in the area of the lumbar spine and the lower extremity. Practical training includes the application of special neuromuscular, clinical test procedures/measuring instruments, from the field of sports science and concentrated treatment with manual therapy techniques. The module focuses on deepening evidence-based patient management within the therapeutic clinical reasoning process.
