Assessment Criteria
Excellent:
Students know how to flawlessly examine positions, movement and mobility using physiotherapeutic assessment methods and how to interpret and explain the results to support clinical reasoning.
Good:
Students know how to examine positions, movement and mobility using physiotherapeutic assessment methods and how to interpret and for the most part explain the results to support clinical reasoning.
Satisfactory:
Students apply anatomical theoretical knowledge to some extent to assess musculo-skeletal function in various movements. With help of instructions, students know how to examine positions, movement and mobility using physiotherapeutic assessment methods and partly how to interpret and explain the results to support clinical reasoning.
Assessment Methods
