What do Neurology Physical Therapists do?
Neurological physical therapists evaluate and treat movement problems caused by nervous system injuries or diseases, like strokes, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis.
They employ specialized techniques, including stretching, strengthening exercises, balance training, and guidance for daily activities, to enhance mobility, endurance, and overall function in patients with neurological conditions.
Their goal is to help these individuals regain independence and enhance their quality of life by utilizing the brain’s ability to reorganize itself and form new neural pathways.
Responsibilities
Evaluate and Treat: Neurological physical therapists assess patients’ functional limitations due to conditions affecting their brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves.
Restore Function: They develop individualized treatment plans to help patients improve their strength, balance, coordination, and endurance.
Facilitate Movement: Through hands-on treatment and exercise, therapists guide movement, loosen tight muscles, and strengthen weak ones to improve motor control.
Address Specific Symptoms: Therapies target issues such as spasticity (muscle stiffness), balance disorders, gait problems, and difficulties with daily activities.
Promote Neuroplasticity: A key aim is to foster the brain’s ability to create new neural pathways to re-establish connections that may have been damaged by injury or disease.
Improve Quality of Life: By maximizing independence and function, therapists help patients participate more fully in their daily lives, work, and sports.
Conditions They Treat
Neurological physical therapists work with a wide range of conditions, including:
Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries: Stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury.
Neurodegenerative Diseases: Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Pediatric Conditions: Cerebral palsy, spina bifida.
Other Neurological Disorders: Balance disorders, diabetic neuropathy, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Where They Provide Care
Patients can receive neurological physical therapy in various settings, including hospitals (acute care and inpatient rehabilitation), Outpatient clinics and private practices, Skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, and schools, as well as within patients’ homes.
Specialty Physical Therapist
Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 2251C2600X
A licensed physical therapist, including but not limited to an individual who is a Board Certified Specialist in Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Physical Therapy, who has demonstrated specialized knowledge and skill in cardiovascular and pulmonary anatomy and physiology, medicine, rehabilitation, critical care, and emergency and trauma.
Clinical Electrophysiology Physical Therapists
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.
Human Factors Physical Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 2251H1300X
Human Factors/Ergonomics (HFE) professionals utilize their expertise to optimize the design of systems, thereby improving user performance and well-being.
