Annotation
In this course, students will be introduced to the problems of locomotive organs diseases and musculoskeletal pain in the first seven lectures. Great space is devoted to electrotherapeutic methods, therapeutic ultrasound and phototherapy. Furthermore, advanced neurorehabilitation methods, especially transcranial brain stimulation methods (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the brain - rTMS, transcranial electrical stimulation of the brain - tDCS and electroconvulsive therapy - ECT) are discussed.
In the second half of the semester, attention is paid to the possibilities of using ionizing electromagnetic fields in medical diagnostics and therapy (eg X-ray, proton therapy, radiotherapy, etc.).
