A group of neurologists and other specialists in Prague was since the early 1950s researching and developing new approaches to avoid what harms him. The patient must always leave your office with homework. 1)
The Prague School promoted a synergy of clinical approach and radiology for better diagnostics, and manual therapy with an emphasis on patient’s moto musculoskeletal rehabilitation, not the structural pathology (inflammation or herniated disc). Muscle strength is not as important as coordinated movement. (Vladimír Janda: Muscle strength is not as important as coordinated movement.)
They worried that the technical progress in medicine led to you.)1)
The founding fathers and “stars” of the Prague School of Rehabilitation were neurologists and physical therapists Vladimír Janda – who first noted the upper and lower cross moto the Prague School’s excellent professional reputation.
The new rehabilitation techniques and methods introduced by the Prague School are still recognized, adopted and further developed by rehabilitation practitioners around the world treating a variety of motors and developed his method Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS). One of many talented students of Václav Vojta, Jarmila Čápová developed her method
Basal Postural Programs (BPP).
Prague School Founding Fathers: Karel Lewit, Vladimír Janda, and Václav Vojta

Dr. Lev Kalika is a world-recognized expert in musculoskeletal medicine. with 20+ years of clinical experience in diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasonography, rehabilitative sports medicine and conservative orthopedics. In addition to operating his clinical practice in Manhattan, he regularly publishes peer-reviewed research on ultrasound-guided therapies and procedures. He serves as a peer reviewer for Springer Nature.

Below is a prime example of how ultrasound can take the guesswork out of diagnosis.
A bad physical therapy experience is one of the primary causes of unnecessary surgery
In this instance, an athlete was originally diagnosed with minor quadriceps muscle strain and was treated for four weeks, with unsatisfactory results. When he came to our clinic, the muscle was not healing, and the patients’ muscle tissue had already begun to atrophy.
Upon examination using MSUS, we discovered that he had a full muscle thickness tear that had been overlooked by his previous provider. To mitigate damage and promote healing, surgery should have been performed immediately after the injury occurred. Because of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, the patient now has permanent damage that cannot be corrected.
The most important advantage of Ultrasound over MRI imaging is its ability to zero in on the symptomatic region and obtain imaging, with active participation and feedback from the patient. Using dynamic MSUS, we can see what happens when patients contract their muscles, something that cannot be done with MRI. From a diagnostic perspective, this interaction is invaluable.
