Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization: Application to Sport Performance and Rehabilitation
The nervous system establishes programs that control human posture, movement and gait. This ‘motor control’ is largely established during the first critical years of life. Therefore, the “Prague School” emphasizes neurodevelopmental aspects of motor control in order to assess and restore dysfunction of the locomotor system and associated syndromes.
Learning Objectives:
- Provide an understanding of DNS concepts and principles that are based on developmental kinesiology.
- Demonstrate the role of the diaphragm for both respiration and stabilization functions.
- Demonstrate the application of “active exercises” that are derived from our knowledge of developmental kinesiology.
- Demonstrate the progressive nature of developmental movements.
- Understand optimal vs abnormal patterns and then solutions to address dysfunctional movements.

Course Outline:
0:00-0:10 Introduction to The “Prague School” of Rehabilitation and Manual Medicine, established by key neurologists/physiatrists, all of whom were giants in the 20th Century rehabilitation movement: Professors’ Vaclav Vojta, Karel Lewit, Vladimir Janda, and Frantisek Vele.
0:10-0:20 Discuss the groundbreaking neurodevelopmental and rehabilitation principles described by these mentors, Pavel Kolar has organized the next generation of clinical protocols that are designed to restore and stabilize locomotor function. This new rehabilitation approach is called Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS).
0:20-0:30 Developmental kinesiology, ontogenesis – basic principles & application in sport.
0:30-0:40 Postural–locomotiom function: definition of optimal and abnormal patterns.
0:40-0:50 Stabilizing system of the spine: Coordination of respiration and stabilizing function.
0:50-1:00 Basic types of stabilization exercises utilizing optimal developmental positions and patterns based on developmental kinesiology – demonstration.
