Abstract

Improvements in the basic techniques of physical therapy involve not only training in special techniques but also training in basic skills with accurate physical therapy evaluations. The first step is accurate physical therapy evaluations in order to determine an impairment using motion analysis in a top-down evaluation. The second step is to perform physical therapy for this impairment. The basic methods of physical therapy are ROM training, sensory education training, muscle strengthening, and muscle tone training. Physical therapists need to undergo basic training in anatomical, physiological, and kinesiological knowledge. The third step is to maintain the therapeutic effects of basic motion and self care with improvement of the impairment. The clinical motion facilitation method, which is a facilitation method for normal motion, is a powerful method for maintaining the effect of physical therapy. In the final step, physical therapists undergo training in the technical skills of physical therapy in order to perform accurate evaluation.<br>
