ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): (not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Full description:

1. Central and peripheral motor neuron/location, signs of damage. Movement disorders caused by damage to the corticospinal tracts and peripheral motor neuron / spastic, flaccid paralysis /. Motor representation in the cerebral cortex. Location of paresis depending on the level of damage to the corticospinal tract and peripheral motor neuron.

2. Movement disorders caused by damage to the extrapyramidal system. Movement disorders caused by damage to the cerebellum.

3. The pathophysiology of cerebral circulation. Regulation of blood flow through the brain, anatomical structure of the cerebral arterial circle, collateral circulation, cerebral artery complexes. Stroke: risk factors, etiopathogenesis, divisions of strokes, types of stroke, course, clinical symptoms of stroke. Aneurysm, hemangioma, subarachnoid hemorrhage.

4. Symptoms of damage to the sensory pathways. Symptoms of damage to the sensory pathways at different levels. Comparison of posterocord and cerebellar ataxia. Sensory peripheral and radicular innervation.

5. Basic concepts used in clinical neurology: paresis, paralysis (monoplegia, hemiplegia, paraplegia), ataxia, involuntary movements, resting tremor, intention tremor, spasticity, plasticity, flaccidity. Speech and its disorders: aphasia, dysarthria. Disorders of higher mental functions: apraxia, agnosia. Visual pathway, symptoms of visual pathway damage. Vegetative disorders. Sphincter disorders.

6. Elements of the neurological examination: searching for clinical signs representing damage to individual structures of the central and peripheral nervous system.
