Introduction
Language of instruction: Norwegian
The purpose of this course is to enable students to perform examination and professional assessments in accordance with the principles of psychomotor physiotherapy. The examination form the basis of the physiotherapist's understanding of the body as a functional, interacting whole. This entails assessing physical complaints and symptoms in light of muscle tensions and mobility in the whole body, as well as the patient’s history and present situation. The course provides a theoretical and practical basis for psychomotor physiotherapy. Practical training period 1 is started during this course.
Required preliminary courses
The student must have been admitted to the Master’s Programme in Health Sciences - Specialisation in Psychomotor Physiotherapy and hold Norwegian authorisation as a physiotherapist.
It is assumed that the student has access to a practical training establishment/own place of work where they can perform psychomotor physiotherapy treatments on patients.

The student
- can describe and discuss the principles of psychomotor physical examinations
- can interpret findings from the examination in light of the patient’s history and relevant literature (clinical reasoning)
- can discuss aspects of clinical reasoning
- can assess relevant treatments
- can discuss different understandings of the body
Skills
The student
- can perform a physical examination in accordance with the principles of psychomotor physiotherapy and make professional assessments of the patient’s problem
- can investigate the significance of complaints and symptoms for each individual patient
