“…Em relação a um dos princípios da descrição internacional da fisioterapia de acordo com Wright (1947) na WCPT -World Confederation for Physical Theraphy, sobre respeitar e reconhecer a história e as raízes da profissão, pouco mais da metade dos profissionais confirma esse conhecimento. Segundo Terlouw (2000), preservar o passado e estimular a pesquisa e a educação históricas devem ser atividades centrais de toda organização profissional.…”

O Fisioterapeuta foi incorporado às equipes básicas de unidades de terapia intensiva (UTIs) em 1998. Embora as atividades desses profissionais nestas unidades já estejam regulamentadas, e comprovada eficiência terapêutica, sua identidade e reconhecimento parecem não estruturados até o presente momento, assim sugerindo sua construção em curso, por meio de identificação das atribuições e competências. O objetivo deste estudo é identificar o perfil de competências dos fisioterapeutas atuantes em UTIs, e relacioná-lo com as competências apontadas pelas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais do curso de Fisioterapia. O estudo realizado é do tipo survey, com abordagem quantitativa que utilizou um questionário estruturado, elaborado a partir da análise das DCN do curso de fisioterapia, que foi enviado a 75 fisioterapeutas atuantes em UTIs de 16 hospitais paranaenses, com retorno de 66,6%. Como resultado, aponta-se para um profissional que afirma ter competências essenciais, que age e reage com pertinência perante suas atividades com acerto profissional, de modo valoroso e ético, além de assegurar sua autonomia e segurança. Porém, estes profissionais sugerem não adquirir estas qualidades na formação básica, durante sua graduação. Indicam ainda, que habilidades apontadas pelas DCNs, apesar de se apresentarem reais e vivas para os mesmos, podem não estar sendo contempladas nos cursos de graduação, pois não aparentam ser obtidas durante a graduação, mas, após o início da sua atividade laboral. Concluindo, as respostas dos fisioterapeutas evidenciam a necessidade do contínuo desenvolvimento de competências, a importância da participação do fisioterapeuta na UTI, e a possibilidade de atuação respaldada pela formação profissional de excelência.

“…Historicity and historical awareness refers to an ongoing social process in which accounts of the past, present and future are produced (Hirsch and Stewart, 2005;Tosh, 2015). Recently there has been a call from physiotherapy scholars' for further investigation into historical characters, developments, events and traditions of their profession (Nicholls, 2018;Terlouw, 2000). The aim of this paper is to contribute to such an endeavor through an inquiry into Kjølstad's self-staightening method for 'crooked backs'.…”

Enhancing and facilitating change or optimization of body awareness and movement behaviors have been sustained throughout history as central objectives in physiotherapy. Focus will be on the thoughts and practice of orthopedist Gunder Nielsen Kjølstad (1794-1860). He is, in a Norwegian context, one of the forefathers of physiotherapy. Kjølstad was unique for his time in the sense that he did not limit himself to medicine, but drew on vast array of disciplines, among them philosophy, geometry, physics, and dance. Fundamental to his treatment method was a pedagogy that rested on the active participation of the patient; an approach that stood in stark contrast to the established clinical practices. Through this approach, he developed a treatment for 'crooked backs' which constituted a historic break with the common treatment regimens of the nineteenth century.

“…Nowadays, however, these historical circumstances are usually quite unknown, even among PTs. PTs have also been described as unusually uninterested in their professional history and as suffering from “collective amnesia,” in itself something of a sociological anomaly (Ottosson 2010b; Terlouw 2000). PTs seem less inclined to cultivate their history than other health care professionals.…”

Androphobia, Demasculinization, and Professional Conflicts:The Herstories of the Physical Therapy Profession Deconstructed

Social Science History

Research on the beginning of the physical therapy profession in different countries often identifies it as a traditional female occupation. Its original semiprofessional character is also pointed out. It lacked professional attributes with masculine connotations, such as a high degree of autonomy and a unique scientific body of knowledge. But on all accounts this understanding is wrong. Originally the profession was an occupation for men only, who were very professionally independent and in charge of a state-sanctioned science of their own. Yet no modern physical therapists know about this, and neither do scholars studying the profession's origin. Why is that? The aim of this article is to highlight the gender mechanisms shaping a discourse strong enough to change our historical consciousness, in this case preventing us from seeing the masculine context out of which the physical therapy profession grew. The analysis explaining the phenomenon centers on two gender-altering and conflict-laden processes, one that was homosocial (men against men) and one that was heterosocial (women against men). Common to both was that they were ultimately powered by a fear of masculinity, here conceptualized as androphobia. Simplified the physical therapy profession came to be perceived as too masculine, and due to this its excess of masculinity was actively eliminated from the profession even in physical form (read: males). The profession was demasculinized and the same happened to its old history, which made the latter unwanted and finally obscured behind new herstories.
