The Physical Therapy Assistant works closely with a supervising Physical Therapist to provide quality, evidence-based patient care. Once the physical therapist completes the patient examination and a diagnosis has been determined, the physical therapist designs a plan of care that includes short and long term functional goals. The physical therapy assistant may be utilized to provide some or all of the interventions identified in the evaluating therapist's plan of care.
Interventions that a PTA may perform include, but are not limited to therapeutic exercise, traction, massage, ultrasound, electrotherapy, balance and gait training, motor learning and development, and patient and family education. Interventions will often include the use of assistive and adaptive devices such as crutches, wheelchairs and orthotics. An important component of patient interventions involves teaching the patient appropriate ways to move or to perform particular activities to prevent further injury and to promote health and wellness.
PTAs also provide the physical therapist with information about the patient's response to treatment, including objective data documented in the patient's medical record for each treatment administered. In addition to patient care, PTAs are responsible to enter billing information for all treatments provided per CareMount policy. They also participate in learning/administrative activities including risk management, compliance and quality improvement as well as other administrative activities within the physical therapy department and the company.
