Physical Therapy Exercise Program

Victoria Said:

What is included in a Physical Therapy discharge summary?

We Answered:

A PTA shouldn't be writing a discharge summary since it includes assessment.

Yet, PT discharges are generally not as extensive as listed above. Rather, it should include:

Their medical and/or PT diagnosis.

Objective measurements as related to goals or current level of function (such as AROM in someone who has had a TKA).

The patient's current functional status.

How many visits the patient attended and how many were missed.

List goals and whether or not they were attained.

If goals were not attained, it should include any barriers to treatment/learning/compliance, etc.

Finally, it should include any final recommendations as made by the PT (such as: return to physician, continue home exercise program, etc).

Ian Said:

Is physical therapy very competitive or does it just depend on the school you go to?

We Answered:

PT is competative no matter where you go. There are about 200 PT schools in the US and they only take between 25-50 students. everyone has good grades. interviews count alot, references and volunteer hours. I would try and get in on some research project. With exercise science, you could become an exercise physiologist.

Do not take bio as a major. It is hard and you need to take alot of course you do not need.

Your age will be a help not a hinderance as they will know you are serious.
