MAELD4100 Fysioterapi for hjemmeboende eldre personer Emneplan

Undervisningsspråk: Norsk

Emnet omfatter kunnskap om hjemmeboende eldre menneskers livssituasjon ut fra individuelle, samfunnsmessige og kulturelle perspektiver og rammer. Problemstillinger knyttet til svakstilte og utsatte grupper eldre blir spesielt vektlagt. Ulike teoretiske og analytiske perspektiver innen gerontologi og geriatri trekkes inn for å belyse hvordan eldre menneskers livssituasjon påvirker deres opplevelse, erfaringer, aktivitet og deltakelse. Det fokuseres på eldre som aktive aktører i sin hverdag og på deres egen forståelse og opplevelse av sin situasjon.

Studenten må være tatt opp på masterstudiet i helsevitenskap og ha autorisasjon som fysioterapeut.

Det forutsettes at studenten har/eller skaffer seg tilgang til fysioterapifaglig arbeid med eldre personer ved gjennomføring av emnet.

Etter gjennomført emne har studenten følgende læringsutbytte definert i kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse:

• kritisk analysere og vurdere teorier innen fysioterapi for eldre uavhengig av etnisitet
• kritisk analysere og vurdere bevegelse, funksjon, deltakelse og helserelatert livskvalitet innen fysioterapi for eldre
• tolke og analysere teorier om motorisk kontroll og læring hos eldre personer

Ferdigheter

Studenten kan

• anvende relevante teorier i analyse av bevegelse og funksjon hos eldre personer
• anvende og kritisk reflektere over bruk av standardiserte kartleggingsinstrumenter i klinisk praksis
• analysere og drøfte resultater fra kartlegginger av eldre personer

• kritisk reflektere over kunnskapsgrunnlaget i fysioterapi for eldre personer
• formidle oppdatert fagkunnskap til samarbeidspartnere og befolkningen
• identifisere og håndterer etiske dilemmaer knyttet til vurderinger og tiltak i fysioterapi

• discuss the concept of flux for two- and three-dimensional vector fields, and explain the calculation techniques used to calculate flux.

General competence

The student can:

• based on the theory on functions of one variable, can generalize the knowledge of the derivative as a measure of instantaneous change to functions with several variables
• based on the theory of definite integrals for functions of one variable, can generalize this to the integration of functions with several variables
• evaluate their own and other students' academic work, and formulate written and oral assessments of these works in a scientifically correct and accurate manner
• write precise explanations and reasons for procedures, and demonstrate the correct use of mathematical notation

The teaching is organised as scheduled work sessions. During the work sessions, the students shall practise using the material with which they are presented. Exercises consist of group discussions, individual practice in solving assignments, formulating and solving problems and assessing their own and others’ assignments submitted for weekly assessment.

The students shall learn how to assess their own and others’ scholarly works and formulate assessments of them in such a way that the assessment can serve as advice on further studies. These practical exercises will take place in the scheduled part of the work sessions. Students will therefore carry out weekly assessments of exercises set for the week. Information about how the weekly assessment will take place will be given in the lectures.

The students are required to complete exercises between work sessions. The proposed exercises will be directly linked to the course goals. Self-assessment of answers will give students insight into whether they have achieved the goals.

There are no coursework requirements in this course.

Individual written exam, 3 hours.

The exam result can be appealed.

In the event of resit and rescheduled exams, another exam form may also be used or a new assignment given with a new deadline. If oral exams are used, the result cannot be appealed.

All printed and written aids.

A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

Grade scale A-F

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
