Assessment of FunctioningLaajuus (5 cr)

Objective

The students understand the structure and operation of nervous and muscular systems, especially considering the mechanisms which are related to the origin, control and integration of motion. The students understand the structure and functioning of the general motion creating system.. The students can assess movement, posture, balance, functioning of upper limbs, coordination, articular and skeletal mobility as well as children’s perceptual motor coordination. The students have the ability to use technology while assessing patients movements functional ability and can make conclusions considering the promotion of functioning.
