Introduction
Physiotherapy practice requires expertise in how to adapt measures for patients with reduced functioning as a result of injury/disease of the musculoskeletal system, different pain conditions, mental and psychosomatic health problems, rheumatic and degenerative diseases, systemic disease (cancer), as well as for patients who have undergone surgical procedures. To provide professionally sound health services, physiotherapists must obtain information about the health of individuals. Physiotherapists must also have knowledge about possible relations between a person’s health condition, their cultural and socioeconomic background, and their prerequisites for movement, activity and participation.
Physiotherapists must also acquire up-to-date and relevant research-based knowledge and reflect on the transfer value of previous clinical experience to novel clinical practice.
