What is not allowed to be performed by a Physical Therapist Assistant?

  1. Conducting weekly case conferences

  2. Performing patient evaluations

  3. Documenting each treatment

  4. Providing treatment under supervision

The correct answer is: Performing patient evaluations

A Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) is a licensed healthcare professional who works under the supervision of a Physical Therapist (PT). PTAs are trained to assist PTs in conducting evaluations and providing treatments to patients. However, according to the American Physical Therapy Association, PTAs are not allowed to perform patient evaluations on their own. This task is reserved for the PT, who is responsible for making the diagnosis and creating a treatment plan. Therefore, while PTAs may assist in conducting evaluations, they are not allowed to perform them independently. The other options listed are common tasks that PTAs are allowed to perform under the supervision of a PT.
