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
The student must have been admitted to the study programme.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge and skills (learning outcomes marked with an asterisk (*) are assessed in connection with the coursework requirements):
Knowledge
The student can
- explain the structure of the human body’s musculoskeletal system and nervous system, and the relationship between them
- describe the connection between the structure and functional properties of the musculoskeletal system
- describe the connection between the structure and functional properties of the nervous system
- describe describe the structure and function of the sensory organs
- describe/identify underlying structure and projections on the surface of the body, and describe the procedure for palpation
- describe normal anatomical variation in the musculoskeletal system
- describe the transmission of nociceptive signals, modulation mechanisms and pain processing in the brain
Skills
The student can
- identify anatomical structures in the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system in anatomical specimens*
- apply Latin names and terminology for muscles, joints, ligaments, nerves, positions, directions of movement, axes and planes
Teaching and learning methods
The work and teaching methods include self-study, group work, seminars, lectures and practical skills training. Some of the lectures will be in English.
Course requirements
The following must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:
- station test, up to 30 minutes
Assessment
Supervised individual written exam (multiple choice and free text tasks), 4 hours.
Permitted exam materials and equipment
No aids are permitted.
Grading scale
Grade scale A-F.
Examiners
Emnet omfatter kunnskap om ulike tilnærminger innenfor kvalitativ samfunnsvitenskapelig forskningsmetode, ulike typer forskningsspørsmål, sammenhengen mellom forskningsspørsmål og forskningsdesign, kvalitetskrav til kvalitative studier, og forskningsetiske problemstillinger.
Emnet dekker introduksjon og øvelser i ulike metoder som brukes i produksjon av et empirisk materiale, samt bruk av foreliggende materiale som kan gjøres til gjenstand for kvalitativ analyse. Videre omfatter emnet bearbeiding og analyse av kvalitativt materiale. Emnet gir også innblikk i ulike analyseperspektiver, formidling av resultater og generaliseringsmuligheter fra kvalitative studier.
Overlapping courses
Ingen forkunnskapskrav.
