INSIGHTS FROM THE UNITED SPINAL ASSOCIATION
People with physical disabilities are served by dozens of nationwide nonprofit advocacy groups that raise funds for research, treatment, adaptive equipment, mobility devices, job training, educational opportunities, quality of life, political advocacy and other efforts that champion inclusion in all aspects of daily life.
Longstanding
nonprofits include, but are not limited to, United Spinal Association, United Cerebral Palsy, Arthritis Foundation, Muscular Dystrophy Association, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Epilepsy Foundation and Spina Bifida Foundation.
Most people
with physical disabilities can benefit from a licensed physical therapist.
Hospitals
have in-patient physical therapy for people recovering from surgery or
treatment.
Outpatient
physical therapy clinics have significantly grown in the 21st century.
A physician
usually writes a prescription, and the PT analyzes X-rays and medical reports.
The
physician then interviews the person while creating a course of treatment.
