Study Notes
Physical Therapist Practice in Pediatric Settings
- 6 elements of patient/client management:
- Exam (hx, systems review)
- Eval (test, measures)
- Diagnosis (include child, family, school staff)
- Prognosis
- Intervention
- Outcomes
- Team collaboration and decisions are key; child/family are essential team members
- Support children and families to actively engage throughout all elements of care
- Ensure person/family-centered services through coordination, communication, and documentation

- Neuromuscular system: assess strength and postural control; hypotonia is common
- Sensory-motor and sensory processing: assess specific concerns
- Cardiovascular and pulmonary systems: assess specific concerns if child is obese or has a highly sedentary lifestyle
Exam: Tests and Measures
- Muscle strength: observation or manual muscle testing if able
- Joint ROM: assess range of motion
- Balance: assess static and dynamic balance
- Gait Assessment: assess gross motor skills
- Standardized outcome measures: assess developmental delay and gross motor skills
