The students

• deduce physiotherapeutically relevant information and possible contraindications for patients from the available assessment findings.
  
• plan suitable physiotherapeutic measures and therapy plans based on the conducted physiotherapeutic diagnostic assessments.
  
• perform the proposed measures on patients alone but under supervision, and adapt the measures to suit the individual patients.
  
• correct the measures, where necessary, and document the procedure appropriately.
  
• perform full physiotherapeutic processes independently in a range of different specialist areas on the patients under supervision.
  
• discuss, analyse and reflect on their procedures in simulated (where appropriate interprofessional) team meetings.
