Physical Therapy Diagnosis (PTD) or Functional Diagnosis (FD) Lab

The aim of Physical Therapy Diagnosis (PTD) or Functional Diagnosis (FD) is to diagnose movement system impairments to guide intervention for health optimization such that the disability can be minimized. The objective is clearly focused in the expertise of identifying clusters of movement system dysfunction and classifying them rather than diseases. Treatment effectiveness and prognosis are further mapped for a particular classification of movement system impairment using function as an outcome. This not only increases effectiveness of practice but also contributes to health care and research.
