Summary: The transition from physiotherapy student to new graduate is challenging. Both new graduates and experienced physiotherapists identified the increasing caseload volume and complexity as challenges.

Summary: Physical therapists in Norway tend to choose functional training based on motor learning principles as their method of choice for promoting gross motor skill acquisition in children with cerebral palsy.
