Integration of Neurodynamics in Neurorehabilitation (INN®) Expert 1: Basics, Development & Application
The INN® thinking model opens up new perspectives for you!
Want to learn more about action and movement analysis involving neural mobility? In the INN® expert courses, you'll learn the theoretical basics with practical examples.
Course content
You will learn how the INN® concept has developed so that you can explain the thinking model to your patients. Through the in-depth knowledge of the peripheral nerves and their biomechanical and physiological tasks, you will see the entire nervous system as an inseparable unit and no longer functionally differentiate between the central and peripheral nervous systems. You now understand why people move and behave in a certain way after a brain injury.
This is part 1 of the INN® basic course digital. This consists of four courses:
Expert 1: INN® Basics, Development & Application (4 h)
Expert 2: INN® Neurodynamic Tests
Expert 3: INN® Further Aspects
Expert 4: INN® Clinical Reasoning Process
With the completion of all four courses, you will receive the certificate for the basic course INN® Integration of Neurodynamics in Neurorehabilitation. This certificate entitles you to participate in INN® practical courses.
Note
We recommend the Basic Course «Things worth knowing about the central nervous system» as optimal preparation.
Here are a few reasons for this:
...because the central nervous system is responsible for controlling movement and action.
...because the cranial nerves are located in the central nervous system, even though they belong to the peripheral nervous system.
...because you get to know the most important clinical pictures that arise due to a brain lesion.
...because the case studies presented there help you to link the learned content and store it in your long-term memory.

Nora Kern, MSc PT, OMPT
For over 20 years, my goal has been to integrate existing knowledge and known tests and techniques of neurodynamics into neurorehabilitation. Peripheral nerves are structures that, in addition to muscles, joints, and scars, should be assessed and treated as needed, with different focuses depending on the professional group. They are also part of the nervous system! Dysfunction of peripheral nerves can massively impair rehabilitation. In this course, we want to refresh and supplement your theoretical understanding, because knowledge, as we know, guides our actions.
Dr. Petra Marsico, PT
As a physiotherapist and researcher, I am fascinated by the complexity of the nervous system. The influence of the structures on mobility and behavior, and especially the neurodynamic aspect, fascinates me a lot. The more I know about it, the better I can support my little patients and their families to strengthen them in their activity and achieve more independence.
