Integration of Neurodynamics in Neurorehabilitation (INN®) Expert 1: Basics, Development & Application
The INN® thinking model opens up new perspectives for you!
Would you like to find out more about action and movement analysis involving neural mobility? In the INN® expert courses, you will learn the theoretical basics in conjunction with practical examples.
Course content
You will learn how the INN® concept has developed so that you can explain this model to your patients. Thanks to your in-depth knowledge of the peripheral nerves and their biomechanical and physiological functions, you will see the entire nervous system as an inseparable unit and no longer differentiate functionally between the central and peripheral nervous system. You now understand why people move and behave in a certain way after a brain injury.
This is part 1 of the INN® Basic Digital Course. 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
Upon 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 "Interesting facts about the central nervous system" as optimal preparation.
Here are some reasons why:
...because the central nervous system is responsible for controlling movement and action.
...because the cranial nerves are located in the central nervous system, although they belong to the peripheral nervous system.
...because you will learn about the most important clinical pictures that arise due to a brain lesion.
...because the case studies presented there will help you to link the content you have learned and store it in your long-term memory.

Nora Kern, MSc PT, OMPT
For more than 20 years, it has been my goal to integrate the existing knowledge and known tests and techniques of neurodynamics into neurorehabilitation. Peripheral nerves are structures that should be assessed and, if necessary, treated alongside muscles, joints and scars, with different emphases depending on the professional group: They are also part of the nervous system! Peripheral nerve dysfunction can have a massive impact on rehabilitation. In this course, we want to refresh and supplement your theoretical understanding, because knowledge guides our actions.
Dr. Petra Marsico, PT
As a physiotherapist and researcher, I am fascinated by the complexity of the nervous system. I am fascinated by the influence of structures on mobility and behavior and especially the neurodynamic aspect. The more I know about this, the better I can help my young patients and their families to strengthen their activity and gain more independence.
