Course history

Introduction

One of the important tasks in physiotherapy is to map and assess individuals’ possibilities and challenges where they live in cooperation with their environment in order to facilitate measures that form part of habilitation, rehabilitation and health-promoting work. This requires knowledge about different life arenas and about how the individual’s prerequisites change throughout their life span or through the course of an illness. This course addresses aging and the arenas where elderly people live their lives, as well as the role of physiotherapists in health promotion and illness prevention. The course also introduces rehabilitation as concepts and a field of knowledge at the individual and societal level. Physiotherapists must also facilitate and implement measures for groups, and the practical training in this course will therefore give students experience of supervising and leading activity and movement groups.

Required preliminary courses

Learning outcomes

Interaction between formal reward systems and more informal motivational factors is an important topic.
