Practice question

Physiotherapists work with patients to restore, improve or maintain their function and enhance their quality of life. They work autonomously but in conjunction with patients and, if necessary, the rest of each multidisciplinary team to assess, diagnose and create treatment plans. Some physiotherapists have extended their scope of practice to order and interpret investigations, such as X-rays and blood tests, and to perform joint injections and prescribe medications ( Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) 2015 ).
