Vestibular rehabilitation

The course Anatomy will be observed from a functional viewpoint with special emphasis on clinical anatomy of adults.  In clinically significant fields students have to know the anatomy of children, youth and pregnant women.  Students have to be qualified to find and identify anatomic structures on the thorax, abdomen and extremities they will encounter in their clinical work every day. Furthermore, they have to recognise clinically significant differences that could affect the determination of clinical diagnoses and treatment.  They have to recognise the mechanics of joint movement on the extremities and understand their significance during a clinical check-up.
