What can Physical Therapy aides NOT do?

  1. Independently perform PT procedures

  2. Assist in PT under direct supervision

  3. Observe patients

  4. Support patients during gait training

The correct answer is: Independently perform PT procedures

Physical Therapy aides can assist in PT under direct supervision, observe patients, and support patients during gait training. However, they are not allowed to independently perform PT procedures, as that requires specialized training and education that PT aides may not have. Therefore, option A is the only incorrect option as the other choices accurately describe duties that PT aides can perform under direct supervision.
