Qualification-goals/Competencies:
- The students are able to analyze patients with musculoskeletal and / or cardiopulmonary problems with regard to their functional health problem, to make a well-founded decision to act, to perform and afterwards to reflect on it. The methodological approach of the students is characterized by the use of the physiotherapeutic process, the inclusion of results from external evidence and the consideration of patient preferences. The acquired skills form the basis for evidence-based physiotherapeutic care for patients with musculoskeletal and / or cardiopulmonary problems in daily practice.
