Introduction:
This Pediatric Physical Therapy Evaluation aims to assess and diagnose motor delays or impairments in infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents. The evaluation is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the individual's motor skills, functional abilities, and developmental milestones. By utilizing this evaluation form, we can tailor interventions and treatments to address specific needs and promote optimal physical development and independence.
Background:
Pediatric physical therapy focuses on promoting independence, improving motor skills, and enhancing the overall quality of life for children with motor delays or impairments. Early identification and intervention are crucial in addressing these challenges and facilitating optimal development. This evaluation form serves as a structured tool for pediatric physical therapists to systematically assess and diagnose motor delays or impairments across different age groups, guiding the development of personalized treatment plans.
