    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Physical Therapy
    • Clinical Competence Assessment

    Background:

    • The role of physical therapists in pediatric care is evolving.
    • Defining advanced practice competencies is crucial for specialized pediatric physical therapy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define the roles and functions of physical therapists in pediatrics.
    • To identify tasks specific to advanced clinical competence in pediatric physical therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was distributed to members of the American Physical Therapy Association's Section on Pediatrics.
    • Data were collected on the importance of various consultative, evaluation, treatment planning, and implementation tasks.

    Main Results:

    • Out of 109 tasks, 37 were deemed unimportant for pediatric physical therapy.
    • Of the 72 important tasks, 46 were classified as entry-level and 10 as advanced-level.
    • Sixteen tasks lacked clear definition within the survey.

    Conclusions:

    • This survey provides foundational data for understanding the physical therapist's role in pediatrics.
    • Further validation studies are necessary to confirm advanced-level responsibilities in pediatric physical therapy practice.
