1 Physical Therapy History Physical therapy in the United States evolved from two major historical events: the polio epidemics of the 1800s through the 1950s and the effects of several wars. For example, Marguerite Sanderson and Mary McMillan were the first to be involved in training reconstruction aides, who cared for those wounded in World War I. Polio raged throughout the country in the 1920s and 1930s. The primary modes of treatment were isolation, immobilization, splinting, bed rest and, later, surgery. In 1940, Sister Elizabeth Kenny brought her treatment techniques for the management of patients with polio to the United States. The Salk vaccine virtually eradicated polio in the United States by The role of the physical therapist progressed increasingly in the 1950s from that of a technician to a professional practitioner. During World War II, drastic improvements in medicine and surgery led to increasing numbers of survivors with disabling wounds. The passage of the Hospital Survey and Construction Act of 1946 led to an increase in hospital-based practice for physical therapists. The Korean War again challenged physical therapists with the treatment of those with disabilities related to war wounds. Amendments to the Social Security Act (SSA) in 1967 added a definition of outpatient physical therapy services. Increasing numbers of states enacted such practice acts during the 1950s and 1960s. The practice of physical therapy for patients with neuromuscular disorders dramatically changed. In the 1960s and 1970s, cardiopulmonary physical therapy practice expanded with increasing chest physical therapy programs for pre- and post-operative patients. With the expansion of joint replacements, new avenues for orthopedic physical therapist practice emerged. The 1970s and 1980s saw the increased opportunities for practice with the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules and regulations, the passage of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (PL ) and the AIDS epidemic. Physical therapists began providing services in the areas of women s health, oncology and hand rehabilitation. Specialty certification was developed. In the 1990s, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research led to new opportunities for practice. Physical therapists were faced with the challenges of increasing governmental cost savings, decreasing reimbursement, increasing governmental regulations, the influences of the insurance industry and corporate America, and the sudden personnel supply exceeding demand for services. 31
2 In the new millennium, the American Physical Therapy Association developed the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, the CD-ROM version of the Guide, and the Hooked-on-Evidence project. Most states had some form of direct access, and bills were introduced on Capitol Hill to allow Medicare patients direct access to physical therapist services. Physical Therapy as a Career Today Today, with only a.2 percent unemployment rate, physical therapists are experiencing some of the best employment conditions. Physical therapists (PTs) are healthcare professionals who diagnose and treat individuals of all ages, from newborns to the very oldest, who have medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their abilities to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives. PTs examine each individual and develop a plan using treatment techniques to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function and prevent disability. In addition, PTs work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness- and wellness-oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles. Physical therapists provide care for people in a variety of settings, including hospitals, private practices, outpatient clinics, home health agencies, schools, sports and fitness facilities, work settings and nursing homes. State licensure is required in each state in which a physical therapist practices. Aptitude Physical therapists (PTs) work very closely with their patients in diagnosing their condition and planning their rehabilitation. In order to be a successful physical therapist, an individual needs to feel comfortable communicating with their patient and performing hands-on rehabilitation work. Depending upon the age and condition of the patient, it may take a considerable amount of time to get their body to function in a normal way. A physical therapist must have patience and offer their help every step of the way. Education Generally, admission to a Physical Therapy graduate program requires the following: A Baccalaureate degree from a regionally or nationally accredited college or university; a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (based on a semester system) in all undergraduate science and math courses (even those repeated); a grade of C or better in the following prerequisites courses: three semester hours in each in statistics, anatomy, physiology, advanced biology, public speaking, computer science and advanced English 32
3 composition; six semester hours in each in English composition, mathematics (algebra level or above) and psychology; and eight semester hours in each: chemistry, biology/ zoology and physics (all laboratory-based for science majors). Applicants must take the GRE which now includes an Analytical Writing Assessment. A minimum score of 800 on the Verbal and Quantitative sections of the GRE are required; 60 or more clock-hours of practical experience under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. All PTs must receive a graduate degree from an accredited physical therapist program before taking the national licensure examination that allows them to practice. The majority of programs offer the Doctor of physical therapy (DPT) degree. The minimum educational requirement is a post-baccalaureate degree from an accredited education program. While some programs offer a Master s degree, a growing majority of programs offer the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. Currently, 199 colleges and universities nationwide offer professional physical therapist education programs; 85.7 percent offer the DPT and the remaining programs are planning to convert.
