Which action is a Physical Therapist NOT authorized to perform?

Diagnosis of disease

Physical therapists are not authorized to diagnose diseases because they are not trained or qualified to do so. This is outside of their scope of practice. While they are able to apply topical medications and use electricity for therapeutic purposes under certain regulations and guidelines, evaluating neuro performance with tissue penetration is also not within their scope of practice. This assessment typically requires advanced training and authorization from a higher authority or specialist.
