Course history

Introduction

Physiotherapists use knowledge about the body’s structure (anatomy) and function in the performance of many tasks. The body is a functional unit, and structure and function affect each other in that a change in structure can lead to a change in function, and vice versa. Physiotherapists use this knowledge about the connection between structure and function when assessing muscle strength, for example. Reduced muscle strength can be caused by damage to /disease of the muscle tissue and nerve tissue, and the physiotherapist must be able to identify the structural cause. Knowledge about the connection between structure and function is therefore important to the work of physiotherapists, and the course emphasises theoretical knowledge about the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system.
