500 Seneca Street
Buffalo, NY
Course Objectives:
Demonstrate an understanding of developmental kinesiology and its relationship with pathology
of the locomotor system: review theory covered in the A course and introduce more advanced
theory, namely the verticalization process
Describe the basis for primitive reflexes and postural reactions and their roles in developmental
kinesiology
Introduce basic information about reflex locomotion according to Vojta
Perform demonstration of assessments of babies: attendees will be able to recognize ideal and
disturbed locomotor patterns and determine developmental age of the babies
Demonstrate and teach proper handling of infants
Demonstration application of DNS assessment and treatment in adult patients with pain and
dysfunction within the locomotor system – stabilization assessment and treatment strategy
Postural analysis & testing of integrated spinal stabilization system – review of Course A tests
and introduction to additional, advanced tests
Integration of corrective exercises based on newly taught DNS functional tests
Exercise in differentiated ipsilateral and contralateral static positions, position transfer during
locomotor function, exercise progression using unstable surface, resistance against “planned
movement”, dual tasking and other challenges both in ipsi and contralateral patterns, transition
between ipsilateral and contralateral patterns, training of isolated segmental movement
Introduction to cortical functioning – body scheme, quality of relaxation, isolated segmental
movements
Provide more complex clinical management explanation for clinicians to better integrate more
advanced DNS protocols into clinical practice
Optimally prepare students for the next level of training (Course “C”)
OPTIONAL EXAMINATION
Participants who would like to participate in the educational track towards becoming a certified
practitioner can take this exam for an additional fee of 100 Euros.
The test will consist of an analysis of babies at various developmental stages. Web link with videos will
be mailed to participant for analysis. Participants are required to return the test to the local instructor
within a month after the course. Upon successful completion and passing of the test, a Certificate of
ACHIEVEMENT from Prague School of Rehabilitation will be awarded.
May only re-take the test 3 times.
The clinician would be required to repeat one or more courses, before re-qualifying for certification
testing.
