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.

Required preliminary courses

Little and lightweight equipment has led to the video journalist (VJ), who is both a journalist, a video photographer and editor. It is both exciting and challenging that a person can do this alone: The VJ is expected to work in a journalistic manner with the technical narrative possibilities available when using a video-camera, interviews and editing. The genres the VJ works with are also in strong development with new digital platforms, and there is a lot of exciting research and development work in video journalism.
