Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1) Within the provision of physical therapy
			 service there are three recognized levels of personnel: The physical therapist
			 who is licensed or privileged to practice physical therapy; the physical
			 therapist assistant who is licensed or privileged to assist the physical
			 therapist; and the physical therapist aide who is an unlicensed person. The
			 physical therapist must assume primary responsibility for physical therapy care
			 rendered under his/her supervision or direction. Both direction and supervision
			 include, when appropriate, observation of the application of physical therapy
			 procedures, conferences related to patient progress, verbal and written
			 reports.
(2) Definitions.
(a) Direction means the action of the
			 physical therapist in delegating duties to a physical therapist assistant,
			 maintaining close communication with the physical therapist assistant, and
			 overseeing the physical therapist assistant's activities on a frequent
			 regularly scheduled basis.
(b)
			 Supervision means the direct onsite overseeing of the performance of assigned
			 or delegated duties or functions.
(c) Diagnosis for physical therapy means the
			 identification of functional limitations and/or impairments and/or disabilities
			 which are used to guide physical therapy treatments. It is not a medical
			 diagnosis or the identification of a disease.
