Course Description
This course introduces the application of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) principles to the assessment and training of running. The DNS concept is based on the relationship between early motor development during the first year of life, which establishes the fundamental postural and movement patterns necessary for efficient locomotion.
Participants will learn to evaluate postural stabilization and movement patterns in runners using DNS assessment principles, including evaluation of the Integrated Spinal Stabilization System (ISSS) and functional movement tests. The course also addresses running biomechanics, muscle activation patterns, and the application of corrective and conditioning exercises based on DNS developmental positions.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
Explain the relationship between phylogenesis, ontogenesis, and the development of human locomotion, including running.
Demonstrate an understanding of the principles of developmental kinesiology and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS).
Describe the relationship between motor development during the first year of life and dysfunction of the locomotor system in adulthood.
Explain the role of support function, stepping forward, function, verticalization, and functional joint centration in the development of postural control and human movement.
Evaluate the Integrated Spinal Stabilization System (ISSS) using visual assessment and DNS functional tests.
Identify altered stabilization strategies and movement stereotypes that may contribute to inefficient running mechanics.
Apply corrective exercises based on DNS developmental positions to improve postural stabilization and running performance.

Prague School Registration Fee
Targeted audience: This structured exercise program is designed for everyone who works or would like to work with children.
|
Prague School registration fee helps to support DNS scientific activities, to collect new video/photo material, to develop the DNS handouts and publishing activities, to present the DNS system at the scientific congresses, and to present the DNS concept online. |
It is not a payment for the course. Please contact the local organizer to secure your enrollment in the course and make sure that the course is not full, prior to paying Prague School registration fee. Once your PS fee is completed, your registration will automatically be sent to the course organizer. After that, payment of course fees can be made with the organizer. The organizer reserves the right to request proof of licensure.
The Prague School registration fee is non-refundable.
Without your online registration and PS fee payment you will not be permitted to attend any DNS course nor will you receive the Prague School Certificate of Attendance; thus you cannot take the DNS test and you will not be allowed to register for later advanced courses.
Upon you registration and payment, you will receive an automatic email with a link to download the course notes. This email goes to the email address you provide during your payment procedure. If you do not receive this email within one hour after a payment, please contact info@rehabps.com and request the course notes. Hard copies will not be available at the host location.
Thank you for your understanding
DNS Prague School Team
During DNS courses, participants are not allowed to take videos, photographs, or audio recordings of the course, instructors, participants, or therapeutic demonstrations.
