Overview
A suitably selected and properly executed rehabilitation minimizes the disorder, compensates the limits in daily activities and makes the personal independence of somebody else’s help easier. In order to reach good therapeutic results it is necessary to look for parameters predicting therapeutic results, since response of patients’ population to therapy differs. There are various measurements and tests which make it possible to quantify the extent of motoric damage and consequences to functional ability. The testing methods used should meet basic conditions of objectiveness. The paper outlines basic functional tests, commonly applied in testing the degree of motoric damage.
Key words:
motoric damage, functional test, postural functions, locomotor functions
