What do Human Factors Physical Therapists do?
Human Factors/Ergonomics (HFE) professionals utilize their expertise to optimize the design of systems, thereby improving user performance and well-being.
This can include applications in healthcare, such as enhancing patient safety and caregiver support.
Physical Therapists, on the other hand, are healthcare providers who focus on improving and restoring movement for patients with injuries, illnesses, or disabilities.
Human Factors Professionals
Human Factors professionals study human capabilities and limitations to create systems, products, and environments that are safe and efficient. Their work involves:
Analyzing interactions: Understanding how humans interact with their environment, tasks, and equipment.
Designing solutions: Applying principles to optimize systems for human well-being and performance.
Improving systems: Enhancing user experience and safety by considering physical, cognitive, and organizational factors in system design.
Conducting research: Performing operator task analysis, user experience assessments, and developing new methods for performance evaluation.
Investigating accidents: Analyzing accidents to understand the human factors that contributed to them.
Physical Therapists
Physical therapists are experts in human movement and its associated functions.
Restore and improve movement: Assisting patients with improving activity and function following injury or illness.
Manage pain: Helping patients to manage and reduce pain.
Prevent injuries and illness: Playing a role in wellness, fitness, and promoting overall health to prevent future conditions.
Rehabilitate patients: Providing care for a wide range of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems.
How They Might Interact
While distinct, the fields can intersect, particularly in the healthcare sector.
An HFE professional might design a new piece of medical equipment to be more user-friendly and safer for both patients and clinicians.
A physical therapist could then use this optimized equipment or provide input on patient ergonomics to ensure movement and recovery are as efficient and safe as possible, according to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).

Healthcare Taxonomy Code 2251E1300X
A licensed physical therapist, including but not limited to an individual who is a Board Certified Specialist in Clinical Electrophysiologic Physical Therapy, who has demonstrated specialized knowledge and skill in electrophysiologic examinations and evaluations and encompasses both the professional and technical components of the observation, recording, analysis, and interpretation of bioelectric muscle and nerve potentials, detected by means of surface or needle electrodes, for the purpose of evaluating the integrity of the neuromuscular system.
Electrophysiologic evaluations include, but are not limited to, electrodiagnostic testing, which includes clinical needle electromyography, motor and sensory nerve conduction studies, and other evoked potential procedures.
Ergonomics Physical Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 2251E1200X
A licensed physical therapist who has demonstrated specialized knowledge and skills pertaining to the workplace, occupational demands, prevention of work-related injury, management of the worker with job-related symptoms or participation restrictions, and provides individual, group, or population-level evaluation, intervention, and consulting to enhance worker performance.
Geriatric Physical Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 2251G0304X
A licensed physical therapist, including but not limited to an individual who is a Board Certified Specialist in Geriatric Physical Therapy, who has demonstrated specialized knowledge and skill in the comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment and evidence-based management of movement in aging adults.
This includes, but is not limited to, specialized knowledge in and consideration of regular age-related changes and pathological manifestations across all systems, as well as cognition and mental health, polypharmacy, fall risk mitigation, bone health, healthy and active aging, and socioeconomic and health policy issues affecting aging adults.
The geriatric physical therapist is an integral part of the interdisciplinary geriatric team, serving as an advocate for the highest level of well-being for older adults.
Hand Physical Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 2251H1200X
Hand physical therapists are certified occupational therapists (OTs) or physical therapists (PTs) with specialized training in the anatomy and function of the upper extremities.
They treat injuries and conditions affecting the fingers, hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders using manual therapy, custom orthotics (splints), exercise programs, and pain/swelling management to restore function, strength, and range of motion, helping patients return to their daily activities and work.
Neurology Physical Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 2251N0400X
A licensed physical therapist, including but not limited to an individual who is a Board Certified Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy, who has demonstrated specialized knowledge and skill in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, including knowledge of central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems in populations with and without neurologic conditions; motor control and movement sciences in populations with and without neurologic conditions; behavioral sciences, including psychology and neuropsychology, and psychiatry; and medical management and pharmacology.
