What are the duties and regulations for a PT Aide?

  1. Can diagnose diseases

  2. Perform patient and non-patient related tasks under direct PT supervision

  3. Work independently without PT supervision

  4. Prescribe medications

The correct answer is: Perform patient and non-patient related tasks under direct PT supervision

A PT Aide is responsible for assisting a physical therapist in their duties and tasks. This includes performing non-patient related tasks such as setting up equipment and keeping records, as well as performing patient-related tasks under direct supervision of a physical therapist. This means that a PT Aide cannot diagnose diseases, work independently without supervision, or prescribe medications without the guidance and direction of a physical therapist.
