Objective
Exertion physiology of respiratory and circulatory organs 2 cr.You are familiar with the principle of endurance training on the functions of the system. You are able to measure andevaluate the functional capacity of the of respiratory and circulatory organs and to interprete and evaluate results to make out the physiotherapeutical targets. You are able to investigate and instruct the client to practise the functionability of respiratory and circulatory organs safely.Biomechanics and functions of myoneural system 2 cr.You know the structure and functions of the myoneural system regarding the mechanisms, which are in connection to mobilisation, steering and control.Basics of therapeutic practise 2 cr.You know the basics of weight, mobility and capability training.you are familiar with the physiological and theoretical means of manual therapy.You know the safe basic mobilization for the joints of spina column and the extremitiesPhysiotherapy 1 cr.You understand the significance of physiotherapy and physiotherapeutical research for the society. You are able to utilize the research material of different medical, health care and other disciplines when planning and implementing physiotherapical measurements.
