‘‘Urban health then and now, a reflection (Physiotherapist, 15.03.2150)’ takes its starting point in the development of human settlements and population throughout history. On this basis, it envisions a future in which a shift to greener urban cities has led to various improvements in people’s health and social conditions, both globally and locally. As more and more people are living in cities and the greening of cities is underway, this vision and its exploration all but a fantasy. With added collaboration from health professionals, urban planning and design could support the creation of even more green spaces and greener buildings, leading to cleaner air, more physical activity, natural insulation of homes, carbon sequestration, local food production, increased biodiversity and ultimately, a time with more social cohesion and healthier and happier people. By never loosing focus of people’s health, function and physical activity, it reminds us that it might not be wholesale change that is at stake, but that a broadening of our professional identity, roles and responsibilities could contribute more broadly than we have thought so far.

Historien "Polisen som smeltet" kaster leseren inn i et stort eventyr. Her har pågående global miljøforringelse økt smeltingen av permafrosten og polarisen med plagsomme effekter for liv og helse som resultat. Disse utfordringene øker ansvaret og utvider oppgavene til helsepersonell og dette ledsages av engstelse, men også nyvunnet mot. Midt i alle disse problemene vokser håpet. Bevisstheten fører til handling og samarbeid på tvers av alle tenkelige grenser. Et samspill mellom urfolksledelse, innovativ teknologi og helsepersonell gir fantastiske løsninger med fordeler for menneskene og jorda. Fortellingen gir oss kraft og inspirasjon til å jobbe mot langsiktige visjoner der vi tar vare på miljøet for å sikre helsen til fremtidige generasjoner. Nyt reisen!

In Japan, a physiotherapist is considered to be ‘experienced’ and having sufficient time in the field, regardless of their level, efficacy, or quality of training, after five years of practice. However, this definition is insufficient for establishing quality and uniformity among physiotherapists in Japan. The purpose of this study was to establish the groundwork for standardisation in education and evaluation. It aimed to evaluate physiotherapy skills by means of a Weight Shift (WS) practical assessment task. Participants of this study included 10 physiotherapists from two institutions. The WS task was repeated three times on a simulated patient. The ground reaction force (GRF) of the simulated patient was recorded during the task. The ratio of the centre of pressure (COP) displacement was calculated by dividing the COP displacement by the distance between the centre of pressure of both feet of the simulated patient to normalise. Correlational statistical analysis was used to confirm whether years of experience changes the degree of WS. The obtained data was compared between the institutions of therapists. The results of this study confirm that the correlation between the data obtained and years of therapists’ experience is weak or absent. There were significant differences between each institution’s ratios for COP displacement as well as for the maximum GRF. It was considered that years of therapists’ experience does not necessarily correlate with physiotherapy skill, especially if participants had six or more years of experience. Greater differences were observed between institutions with regards to the characteristics of physiotherapy skill.

‘Circles’ takes us on a phantasy tour de force and into deep connection with the earth under our feet while, at the same time, being a prime example of creativity and imagination. In this story, future physiotherapists in the high north collect reindeer manure to support the growth of plants that can help reduce mercury pollution – a very real and longstanding problem in the Arctic. Once again, this is a story about how collaboration and curiosity can turn bad conditions to the better and open us up to new opportunities and entirely new tasks. And in the exploration of these new tasks, the digging of manure and joy of touching the earth with our hands, ‘Circles’ also reminds us that every little action has an effect on everything else and can be a meaningful contribution to healthier and more sustainable futures, no matter how distant, small or strange it might seem.

´PLANKTasjen´ – Historien om Aurelia Oline Ebeltoft er en fortelling om hvordan kraften og oppfinnsomheten ved kvinnelig ledelse og globalt samarbeid kan bidra til å finne løsninger på problemer skapt av alvorlige globale miljøforandringer. Med mål om å løse problemet med luft-forurensning og dens konsekvenser for folks helse og lungefunksjon, har Aurelias oppfinnelse av PLANKTasjen – algeoppdrett for oksygenproduksjon – bokstavelig talt blåst nytt liv i mennesker og miljø. Oppdrett av alger utforskes faktisk med håp om å oppnå en rekke fordeler innenfor helse, teknologi og miljø, og fortellingen ligger dermed nærmere nåtiden enn man skulle tro. Innvevd er imidlertid også en følelse av å bli lei av motstand mot endring og en oppfordring til å ta ansvar, som enkeltindivid, samfunn og helsepersonell.

‘A diary from the future’ thinks through the positive social, environmental and health effects of a large-scale transition to plant-based diets. These include positive changes for food production, consumption and food security, and with that, also social justice, equity, education, poverty and the co-existence with other species. Even just the way the story thinks through and recognises these complex relationships and effects is an achievement and a novelty for physiotherapists in itself. Reaching well beyond this, however, this is also a story about how fear and darkness can turn into hope, optimism and curiosity for the future as a result of learning and thinking about these complex relationships. Finally, ‘A diary from the future’ is also a reflection on the possibilities of broadening our understanding of physiotherapy, of the need for change, resistance to it, and the creative potential that is released when these resistances are overcome.
