Learning outcomes of the study module:
The objective of the module is to develop competence in applying and developing the methods of physiotherapy. After completing the module, students are able to act and to provide physiotherapy in different environments and networks. When acting in work communities, students apply their knowledge in genuine situations accounting for the work and operating culture of their environment. They critically observe the opportunities of their field in promoting the client's functional capacity and create new practices in physiotherapy.

The students work in teams and each team perform their own project with the client group which suffers more or less mental restrictions causing their inability to their physical functioning.

Further information
The competences described in the module can be developed either by participating in study units or working in projects. Please note that in some education forms projects are the primary way of gathering credits.
In the projects you participate in the development work of domestic or international businesses and communities and in project work. The language used in the project can be either Finnish or English. Projects can also focus on developing the student’s own business. The topic of the project and the competences developed by participating in it will be clarified when the project is added to the study offer. The scope of the project will be agreed on in each case. The competences generated in the projects can partly be included in the learning outcomes of some other module(s) and thus the credits can be divided between several module
