Abstract
The aim of the study was to analyse factors which motivate students to commence university studies as well as to analyse the level of satisfaction with studying among a group of Master’s degree students in their final semester. 1942 second year Master’s degree students. Voluntary and anonymous questionnaire studies. The approval of the Ethical Review Board of WUM was not necessary. The questionnaire was developed by the authors and comprised 74 questions. STATISTICA 10.0 (license WUM), tests: Chi-square, Kruskall-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U (p<0.05). The students declared the level of satisfaction with studying at PM: 3.44, PWF: 3.54 and IP: 3.52 (H=17.167; p<.000). A half of the study group would choose a Physiotherapy course again, 30% would choose the same university. 36% got acquainted with the curriculum of a Master’s degree course (p=NS). 56% reported that the curriculum content concerning orthopaedics was repeated most often, manual therapy and massage was repeated least often (34%). The largest proportion of the students declared that a Master’s degree course improved their skills. 1. The modification of curricula seems to be necessary. It should consists in prolongation of the duration of a Bachelor’s degree course and in putting a greater emphasis on a strictly occupational training and more efficient use of hours devoted to the work with patients. 2. The modification may be performed with the use of the curricula which are consistent with the guidelines of European and National Qualification Frameworks. The emphasis there is put mainly on outcomes of education and e-learning. 3. The assessment of the level of satisfaction with learning at a Master’s degree Physiotherapy course among students who had changed the educational profile of a university, as well as a detailed analysis of the curricula of a Master’s degree course seem to be important in order to extend the study.
Key words:

Abstract
The professionalization of the physiotherapist profession is a dynamic process in Poland, which can be seen in the number of academic organizational units, formation of PTF, and development of academic research. The study aimed to analyse the process of professionalization among a group of final semester Master’s degree students of Polish university-level schools of different educational profiles.1942 second year Master’s degree students took part in the study. 1600 students were qua­lified to the statistical analysis: 570 PM students, 464 PWF students, and 566 IP students. Voluntary and anonymous que­stionnaire studies. The questionnaire was developed by the authors and comprised 74 questions. STATISTICA 10.0 program (Warsaw Medical University license) and the following non-parametric statistical tests: Chi-square, Kruskall-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U (p<0.05).Only 6% of students engaged themselves in the activity of a Student Research Society (SRS) (p<.000). Only 28% of students actively took part course in a scientific conference (p<0.834). As little as 18% of students actively parti­cipated in a research study/research project (p<.000). The vast majority of students declared that they did not publish any article. 40% of the students declared participation in additional occupational courses. The vast majority of students had found out about the courses from the Internet (H=7.896, p<0.019) and declared that they would like to get objective infor­mation on the courses during their university classes (H=0.247, p<0.883). 1. University-level should develop programmes to pick up outstandingly talented individuals in order to provide them with an individual path of scientific development and build closer tights between these graduates and the school in the future. 2. Physiotherapy students seem to have a practical attitude towards the post-graduation training, which is more oriented to the content and usefulness and less oriented to temporary trends in physiotherapy. 3. There is an urgent need that university-level schools educating prospective physiotherapists develop educational programmes which would deal to a greater extend than it is at present with modern methods used in physiotherapy and which would constitute specific guidebooks in which students would be able to find information on the best parallel and post-graduate directions of further studies.

Streszczenie
Cel pracy. Przedstawienie aktualnej wiedzy dotyczącej możliwości zastosowania terapii domowej w celu poprawy funkcji ręki spastycznej u dzieci z mózgowym porażeniem dziecięcym (MPD).
Podstawowe założenia. W aktualnym piśmiennictwie można znaleźć opisy wielu metod terapii ręki spastycznej w warunkach domowych. Najważniejsze z nich to: CIMT (Constraint Induced Movement Therapy), H-HABIT (Hand arm bimanual intensive therapy), Mitii (Move It To Improve It), Wii Sports Resort training, You Grabber system, AOT system (Action observation training), Tele UPCAT platform (The UPper Limb Children Action Observation Training), TeleReh. Pomimo różnic metodologicznych, we wszystkich dostrzegana jest bardzo ważna rola opiekunów dzieci z MPD. Wsparcie merytoryczne ze strony terapeutów jest istotne w zapewnieniu wiarygodności procesu usprawniania. Trening domowy poprawia sprawność i funkcjonalność dzieci w życiu codziennym, umacnia więź pomiędzy rodzicem / opiekunem a dzieckiem. Możliwość kontynuowania terapii w domu to często ogromne ułatwienie dla rodzin mieszkających daleko od ośrodka.
