What questions must be answers to confirm or rule out 1. Is this an appropriate PT referral?
the need for PT intervention? 2. Is there a problem that does not fall into one of the four categories of
conditions outlined by the PT guide?
3. Are there any red flag histories, red flag risk factors or cluster of red flag signs
and/or symptoms?
What are the 4 categories of conditions treated by PTs 1. Musculoskeletal
according to the PT guide? 2. Neuromuscular
3. Cardiopulmonary
4. Integumentary
What is the purpose of studying differential diagnosis? 1. To help PTs recognize areas that are beyond the scope of PT's practice or
expertise
2. To provide a step-by-step method for therapists to identify clients who need
medical (or other) referral and consultation
What must a PT be able to do with medical screening? Must be able to evaluate a patient/client's complaints knowledgably and
determine whether there are signs and symptoms of systemic disease or a
medical condition that should be evaluated by a more appropriate health
provider
Primary Prevention (of disease) stopping process that lead to development of disease, illness, and other
pathologic health conditions through education, risk factor reduction, and
general health promotion

Secondary Prevention (of disease) Early detection of disease, illness, and other pathologic health conditions
through regular screening; this does not prevent the condition but may decrease
duration and/or severity of disease and thereby improve the outcome, including
improved QOL
Tertiary Prevention (of disease) Providing ways to limit the degree of disability while improving function in
patients/clients with chronic and/or irreversible disease
Health Promotion and Wellness Providing education and support to help patients/clients make choices that will
promote health or improve health. The goal of wellness is to give people greater
awareness and control in making choices about their own health.
What is medical screening vs. screening for referral? Medical screening: methods to detect disease or body dysfunction before an
individual may seek care
Screening for referral: in the context of human movement system diagnosis, a
process where the therapist determines if the patient has a condition that can be
addressed by the interventions available to the therapist and if NOT, whether the
condition requires evaluation by a different medical specialist
What are the rationale for screening for referral? 1. Direct access
2. Quicker and sicker patient/client base
3. Signed prescriptions (without direct contact with physician)
4. Medical specialization
5. Disease progression (early signs and symptoms)
6. Patient/client disclosure (discloses things to PT that were not disclosed to
physician)
7. Presence of one or more yellow or red warning flags
