Title in English: Fundamentals of Examination Methods for Physiotherapists.
The textbook Fundamentals of Examination Methods for Physiotherapists, authored by a team of academic professionals and practicing physiotherapists, is designed as a modern educational resource for undergraduate physiotherapy students, particularly in the early semesters of their studies. At the same time, it serves as a practical guide for novice professionals in clinical practice—physiotherapists and physicians undergoing pre-certification training in the field of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine.The aim of the publication is to provide a clear and systematic introduction to fundamental diagnostic procedures of the musculoskeletal system, which form the essential foundation for understanding more complex principles in clinical kinesiology and rehabilitation. The opening chapters are dedicated to patient history-taking and the basics of clinical examination, followed by specific methods for musculoskeletal assessment, visual evaluation of postural positions, and analysis of movement patterns. A separate section is devoted to the strategy of kinesiological analysis. The publication concludes with a current overview of the principles of evidence-based medicine (EBM), which should be part of the core competencies of every modern-thinking professional in physiotherapy and rehabilitation medicine.
