Abstract
The function of a diagnosis is to provide information that can guide treatment. The physicians provides only a limited amount of information that is pertinent to the physical therapy management of the patient. In only a very general way does the diagnosis direct the physical therapy's treatment. Thus, by the members of the physical therapy profession recognizing their role and responsibility to become diagnosticians, they can begin to classify signs and symptoms more actively and develop the categories that will enhance the effectiveness of their practice and their contributions to health care.
