Physical therapists are health professionals who diagnose and manage movement dysfunction as it relates to the restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function and the health and wellbeing of individuals, families, and communities. Physical therapists possess a distinct body of knowledge that provides a unique perspective on purposeful, precise, and efficient movement across the life span. Description of Physical Therapist

Inform Physical Therapist Practice • Four major constructs and concepts inform current physical therapist practice: • The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the biopsychosocial model • Evidence-based practice • Professional values • Quality assessment Biopsychosocial Model • In this model, a person’s health status is determined by the interplay of the biological, psychological, and social domains. Social Determinants of Health Social determinants of health include items such as economic stability, age, gender, social status, access to health services, quality education, healthy environments, social and community context and support, and healthy environments. Physical Therapist Practice Core Concepts Evidence-based practice includes:

System • One Profession • Common Identity Requires Common Language • Not an Overnight Sensation What is the Goal of our Movement System Oriented Identity • Physical therapy will be a health profession not defined by the techniques we use but rather by our body of knowledge and skills • The human movement system will be the scientific foundation of our practice • Align attention and resources in practice education and research toward efforts that support and advance our role in managing human movement • Develop a common language to describe our diagnostic process and our management of the HMS • Within that principle, the movement system is called a "foundation" and "the core of physical therapist practice, education, and research." Human movement is a complex behavior within a specific context. • Physical therapists provide a unique perspective on purposeful, precise, and efficient movement across the lifespan based upon the synthesis of their distinctive knowledge of the movement system and expertise in mobility and locomotion. • Physical therapists examine and evaluate the movement system (including diagnosis and prognosis) to provide a customized and integrated plan of care to achieve the individual's goal-directed outcomes. • Physical therapists maximize an individual's ability to engage with and respond to his or her environment using movement-related interventions to optimize functional capacity and performance. Code of Ethics for the Physical Therapist • Physical therapists shall provide: • safe, • accessible, • cost-effective,
