    Study Notes

    Physical Rehabilitation Overview

    • Goal-oriented process aimed at maximizing independence for individuals with compromised function.
    • Individualized treatment plans focused on patient-identified goals.
    • Primary aim is to optimize patient function and improve quality of life.

    Roles in Physical Rehabilitation

    • Physiatrists: Physicians specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation; oversee comprehensive rehabilitation plans.
    • Physical Therapists (PT): Diagnose and manage movement dysfunction; enhance functional abilities; prevent onset and progression of impairments and disabilities.
    • Physical Therapist Assistants (PTA): Work under PT supervision; assist in patient care, education, and measuring performance; restricted from evaluations and altering treatment plans.
    • Occupational Therapists (OT): Address functional limitations and disabilities; contribute to improving daily living skills.
    • Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTA): Implement and modify therapeutic activities based on client goals and supervisory feedback.
    • Nurses: Design treatment strategies based on nursing theories; promote overall health and self-care.
    • Speech-Language Pathologists: Assess and treat communication and swallowing disorders for effective rehabilitation.
    • Clinical Neuropsychologists: Address neurobehavioral issues and developmental disorders related to the nervous system, such as dementia and traumatic brain injuries.

    Understanding Disablement Models

    • Nagi Model: Analyzes the relationships between pathology, impairment, functional limitation, and disability.
      • Pathology: Changes in anatomy and physiology due to disease or injury.
      • Impairment: Disruptions to structures or functions, measurable at the organ level.
      • Functional Limitation: Restrictions in performing activities efficiently—may not always arise from impairments.
      • Disability: Inability to perform necessary activities for self-care, work, or community engagement.

    Guide to Physical Therapist Practice
