Als Orthopäden noch Physioterapeuten waren, oder warum es Physiotherapeuten an Geschichtsbewusstsein mangelt – Verhältnis von Orthopädie und Physiotherapie in Schweden im 19. Jahrhundert

• During the 19th century, Orthopedists in Sweden were more of Physical therapists than orthopedists. The article explains why this was the case and why this is a forgotten chapter in the professional history of Orthopedists and Physical therapists. Point of departure is that the writing of history is a powerful professional tool and that lapses in one’s memory will occur as a result of conflicts where victors have the ability to chose what is worth remembering. In this case Orthopedists on one hand wanted to hide and forget the malignant battles they had with male Physical therapist regarding the preferential rights of interpretation in the field of mechanical medicine, on the other that they depended on Physical therapy both for a living and to render orthopedics scientific status. It was not until Orthopedists became surgeons that they could emancipate themselves from their dependency of Physical therapy. With this new profile they could reach the preferential rights of interpretation in the field of mechanical medicine and ‘write’ a new history able to master the future.
