Course Overview
How does neural mobility influence movement, behavior, and recovery after a brain injury? This course introduces the INN® conceptual model and provides the theoretical foundations for understanding the relationship between the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Through practical examples, you will learn how neurodynamics contributes to movement analysis, clinical reasoning, and rehabilitation. You will deepen your understanding of the anatomy, biomechanics, and physiology of peripheral nerves and learn to view the nervous system as a cohesive continuum.
This course explains how brain lesions affect the function of peripheral nerves and how this knowledge can improve rehabilitation planning and treatment outcomes.
As Part 1 of the INN® Basic Course, this program provides the theoretical foundation for the entire INN® Basic Course.

Effective learning method—but not yet applicable in practice
A very clear and easy-to-understand course on a complex topic, though I'm not yet able to apply what I've learned in practice.
Sophie on February 9, 2025
An excellent introduction to neurodynamics and the peripheral nervous system
It's a very interactive and interesting course. It's well-structured and helped me deepen my understanding.
There are many practical examples that I'm trying to apply in my daily therapy practice.
Miriam on December 2, 2024
A clear and engaging course
Logical structure, clear and engaging language and illustrations, the latest scientific findings, and well-organized lecture notes. I look forward to delving deeper into the material and applying these new insights in practice.
