What is D.N.S.
Dynamic NeuroMuscular Stabilization (DNS) is a developmental rehabilitation approach to optimize motricity control. It is based on the principles of neurodevelopment.
According to these principles, the nervous system establishes programs that control human posture, movement and gait. This motor control is largely established in the critical early years of life. Therefore, the Prague School focuses on the neurodevelopmental aspects of motor control to assess and restore the dysfunction of the locomotor system and associated syndromes. The School of Rehabilitation and Manual Medicine in Prague was created by very important neurologists and physiatrists of the rehabilitation movement of the twentieth century: professors Vaclav Vojta, Karel Lewit, Vladimir Janda and Frantisek Vele. Based on the principles of neurodevelopment and rehabilitation described by these mentors, Professor Pavel Kolar has created new clinical protocols designed to restore and stabilize locomotor function. This new rehabilitation approach is called dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS). references: https://www.rehabps.cz/rehab/literature.php |

Course Objectives
- Demonstrate an understanding of developmental kinesiology and its relationship with pathology of the locomotor system: a review of theory covered in the A course and introduce a more advanced approach, 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.
- Demonstrate the assessment of babies: attendees will be able to recognize ideal and disturbed locomotor patterns and determine the developmental age of the babies.
- Demonstrate and teach proper handling of infants.
- Demonstrate application of the 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 – a review of Course A tests and introduction to additional more advanced tests.
- Integration of corrective exercises based on newly taught DNS functional tests.
- Exercise in differentiated ipsilateral and contralateral static positions, position transfer during loco motor function, exercise progression using unstable surface, resistance against “planned movement,” dual tasking and other challenges in ipsi and contralateral patterns, the transition between ipsilateral and contralateral patterns, and training of isolated segmental movement.
- Introduction to cortical functioning – body scheme, quality of relaxation, isolated segmental movements.
- Provide more complex clinical management reasoning for clinicians to better integrate more advanced DNS protocols into clinical practice.
- Optimally prepare students for the next level of training (Course “C”)
- There are no prerequisites to attending this course.
- Participants for all DNS clinical courses must be certified health professionals
- Course will be taught in English and all supporting material will be in English.
