Students develop their clinical skills and can
select and use appropriate physiotherapy
assessment and treatment methods:

- Students knows the basics regarding

able to use techniques in an appropriate way in
practice.

- Students know fundamentals of joint
mobilization and can perform joint mobilization
of extremities joints following the basic
principles.

Students are expected to
- Understand the purpose and be able to use
different techniques considering measurement of
Range of Motion.
- respond to a client in a professional way in a
testing and treatment situation

- account for joint mobilization areas of use
and perform the various mobilization of
extremities joints effectively

Theoretical bases and practical implementation
of:

- different methods of measuring ROM, testing
muscle strength and perform muscle stretching
- facilitation, and with the PNF method
- and joint mobilization of extremities.
