Responsibilities

Essential Duties and Responsibilities of the Physical Therapist:

• Assessing Wounds:

  • Evaluate the type, size, depth, and severity of the wound.

  • Monitor wound healing progress and identify complications (such as infection, poor circulation, or non-healing).

• Creating Treatment Plans:

  • Develop individualized care plans to promote wound healing, considering the patient's medical history and specific needs.

  • Use modalities like electrical stimulation, ultrasound, or heat/cold therapy to aid healing.

• Pain Management:

  • Apply techniques like manual therapy, TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), or soft tissue mobilization to reduce pain and discomfort associated with the wound.

• Patient Education:

  • Teach patients proper wound care, hygiene practices, and how to manage their wounds at home.

  • Educate patients on strategies to prevent future injuries, such as pressure relief or proper posture.

• Rehabilitation:

  • Help restore mobility, strength, and range of motion that may be impacted by wounds (e.g., after surgeries, burns, or pressure ulcers).

  • Promote functional independence and help patients return to daily activities.

• Preventing Complications:

  • Prevent secondary complications like infections, pressure ulcers, or contractures by guiding patients on proper positioning, pressure relief, and exercises.

  • Assist patients with mobility aids or devices to avoid excessive pressure on the wound area.

• Collaborating with Healthcare Teams:

  • Work closely with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers to ensure holistic care for patients.

  • Provide input on treatment plans, patient progress, and needed adjustments in care.

• Documenting Progress:

  • Maintain detailed records of the wound's condition, patient progress, and any changes in treatment.

  • Track improvements or setbacks in the healing process and adjust treatment as needed.

• Providing Specialized Therapies:

  • Utilize advanced wound care techniques such as debridement, compression therapy, or hydrotherapy to support healing.

• Preventing Re-injury:

  • For patients at high risk (such as those with diabetes or limited mobility), work on strategies to prevent the recurrence of wounds (e.g., managing circulation, preventing falls).
