Abstract

During the session of the 13th International Congress of World Confederation for Physical Therapy (WCPT), we investigated the actual condition of physical therapy of 16 foreign countries using a questionnaire. The results indicated that the proportion of female physical therapists exceeds that of male physical therapists in all countries but Korea and Jordan, and that private practice is allowed in 12 out of 16 countries. There was a difference in major diseases and equipments relating to physical therapy between Japan and foreign countries. In the replies of questionnaire, most of foreign participants expressed praise on the first international physical therapy congress in Asia, and we. Japanese physical therapists, were pleased to achieve our purpose.
