Practical training is provided mainly by cooperation with leading health, rehabilitation and spa facilities in our country and abroad, such as the Slovak Medical Spa Piešťany, the National Institute of Rheumatic Diseases Piešťany, the National Rehabilitation Center Kováčová, the University Hospital Bratislava, the Faculty Hospital Trnava, the Oncology Institute of St. Elizabeth.
Through the Erasmus+ program, students and graduates can gain practical experience in health facilities throughout the European Union. The FZV has the most foreign partnerships in the Czech Republic, Poland, Italy and Croatia.
Students can also try out unique devices right at school. One of the devices at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of St. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava (FZV) is Anatomage. As the name suggests, it is mainly used for teaching anatomy. This life-size virtual dissecting table has the most advanced 3D display system of the human body.
Students can visualize anatomy exactly as it would be in reality, and they see exactly the same thing that they could only observe in the dissecting room. The device improves education not only in anatomy, but also in histology, physiology and radiology.
Modern equipment that graduates will encounter in practice is also present in the physiotherapy classroom. For example, the Biodex Balance system is a simple and effective device for testing and training balance. The Alfa device also works in a similar way, and is intended for training mainly for neurological and orthopedic patients, for example after a stroke, hip or knee dislocation, suffering from muscle dysfunction or Parkinson's disease.
The teaching process also includes the Spinal Mouse. This is a technology comparable to an X-ray, which can measure the curvature of the spine using a computer. During several physiotherapy procedures, students can try the Redcord system, which is part of the suspension exercise methodology. It is used not only for diagnostics and active therapy, but can also be used in the training process.
