The Physical Therapy Process 

The physical therapy process consists of the following elements when managing a patient, whether human or animal: 

·          Examination - history, baseline tests and measures, systems review 

·          Evaluation - clinical judgments based on the examination findings (assessment) 

·          PT diagnosis - problem list of neuromuscular deficiencies 

·          Prognosis - expected outcome and recovery time 

·          Intervention - actual treatments rendered and education provided
