【講師介紹】 Instructor

Julia Demekova, MPT

Julia Demekova MPT is a 2007 graduate of Palacky University in Olomouc in the Czech Republic. She has been practicing MPT in Lipova Spa for the past two years. During this period, she has co-taught courses on manual medicine - mobilizations and soft tissue techniques – in accordance with the techniques of Professor Karel Lewit.

Since 2009, Julia has practiced at the Clinic of Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine in the Faculty Hospital in Motol in Prague, under the supervision of Professor Pavel Kolar. From the commencement of her work at Motol, she assisted in instructing courses on Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization, in accordance with the methods of Professor Kolar. Two years later (in 2011), Julia become a certified instructor in DNS: the first and only instructor from Slovakia. In addition to this, during this time she studied the methods of Professor Karel Lewit.

Julia has wide experience with the treatment of neurological, musculoskeletal and orthopedic patients: she worked in a spinal cord injury unit since 2009 until 2015. She still treats both adults and children with a variety of diagnoses. Julia combines in her daily work her knowledge from a wide variety of different courses she has taken: Diagnostics and the Treatment of Functional Disturbances in the Musculoskeletal System (2007); S-E-T concept (2009); Sensory Stimulation (2010); Medical Taping Concept (2010); Quadrupedal Locomotion in the Prevention and the Treatment of Functional Disturbances of the Axial System (2011), Developmental Kinesiology in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Infants (2014) and Fascial Manipulations According to Stecco (2018).

As an educational assistant at the Second Medical Faculty, Charles University (located at the Faculty Hospital, Motol), Julia Demekova instructs students of rehabilitation. She also teaches students in Charles’ medical program.

Julia likes to practice sports medicine and has extensive experience with the assessment and treatment of the sports injuries of golfing professionals, runners, gymnasts and mountaineers. In her free time, she instructs a group on the conditional exercises for Jiu-jitsu. She has qualifications in TacFIT (Tactical Fitness - 2011); Julia is both a TRX and BOSU certified trainer (2012).

Julia has been an instructor in the DNS concept since 2011, and has taught clinical, sports medicine and pediatric courses in a variety of countries in North and South America (Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Canada, Arizona, Ohio, New Jersey,…), Europe ( Spain, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Sweden, UK, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia) UAE, Turkey and Asia ( China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore,…).

Julia is originally from Slovakia and currently resides in Prague in the Czech Republic. In her spare time, she likes playing golf, cycling and practicing yoga. She loves traveling, meeting new people and trying local cuisines all over the world.

【課程簡介】 Introduction

Course Content :

This course is designed for participants who have completed DNS courses and work with neurological patients. It will review and deepen knowledge of developmental kinesiology, with an emphasis on clinical neurological assessment and functional therapy for patients with central and peripheral nervous system disorders. Throughout the course, therapy with a patient diagnosed with a neurological condition will be demonstrated and/or a video analysis will be performed. Interesting case studies will be presented and discussed.

During the course, participants will acquire the following knowledge and skills :

Application of assessment and therapy based on the DNS concept in the treatment of patients with neurological diagnoses
Fundamental specifics of issues associated with neurological diseases of vascular origin (stroke), demyelinating diseases (multiple sclerosis), spinal cord lesions, and diseases of the peripheral nervous system (peripheral paresis)
Therapy – demonstrations of using developmental kinesiology positions to correct global movement patterns; selection of exercises appropriately tailored to the therapeutic goals, targeting key segments and dominant symptoms of neurological diagnoses
Case Studies and Video Analysis – identification of key “weak” areas based on the evaluation of global patterns and movement analysis; proposal of therapy using developmental positions, integrated with other techniques or concepts applied in the rehabilitation of neurological patients

【課程大綱】 Outline

Day 1

9.00 – 10.30 Review of the principles of developmental kinesiology, developmental milestones, and their kinesiological content.

Integration of this knowledge into the assessment of neurological patients, linking functional assessment with other neurological examinations specific to neurological patients.

10.45 - 12.30 DNS Tests for Neurological Patients – Practical Session12.30 – 13.30 Lunch

13.30 – 15.00 Assessment of a neurological patient using functional evaluation, identification of the patient’s primary “key” problem, with a therapy demonstration.

15.15 – 17.00 Video case studies with analysis of neurological patients with various diagnoses; approaches to test modifications; formulation of a rehabilitation plan and program.

Day 2

9.00 – 10.30 Examination of a neurological patient based on the principles of DNS, identification of the patient’s fundamental “key” problem with a therapy demonstration..

10.45 - 12.30 Modification of exercise positions from the DNS concept for neurological patients, including variations and the use of aids.

12.30 – 13.30 Lunch

13.30 – 15.00 Practical practice of lower and higher developmental positions.

15.15 – 17.00 Video analyses of patients – evaluation of assessment results; selection of therapeutic positions and exercises aimed at addressing the patient’s “key” problem

Practical workshop Final discussion, Q&A
