satisfactory (1-2) I recognise the importance of systematic assessment of functional capacity as part of the physiotherapy process and in supporting the rehabilitator's functional capacity. I list the most common tools, methods and means of physiotherapeutic examination. I identify the basics of biomechanics and kinesiology, as well as name the stages of walking as the basis for observation. I name the starting points for reliable recording and use the nomenclature for recording. I list the emotions and functions of the body. good (3-4) I will explain and partly justify the importance of systematic assessment of functional capacity as part of the physiotherapy process and supporting the functional capacity of the rehabilitator. I list the most common tools, methods and means of physiotherapeutic examination. I will explain the basics of biomechanics and kinesiology. I observe and describe walking and its stages. I will explain the starting points for reliable recording and use the nomenclature for recording. I tell you about the emotions and functions of my body. excellent (5) I justify the importance of systematic assessment of functional capacity as part of the physiotherapy process and the support of the rehabilitator's functional capacity. I will give examples and justify the most common tools, methods and means of physiotherapeutic examination. I understand the basics of biomechanics and kinesiology. In different ways, I analyze walking and describe its stages with justification. I reliably record the results of physiotherapeutic examination in accordance with the recommendations, utilising the physiotherapy nomenclature. I analyze and articulate the emotions and functions of my body. |
