D- Dialogue Diagnosis
Diagnostic labels may be used to describe multiple dimensions of the patient/client, ranging from them most basic cellular level to the highest level of functioning-as a person in society. Although physicians typically use labels that identify disease, disorder, or condition at the level of the cell, tissue, organ, or system, physical therapists use labels that identify the impact of a condition on function at the level of the system (especially the movement system) and at the level of the whole person. The assigning of a diagnostic label through the classification of a patient/client within a specific practice pattern is a decision reached as a result of a systematic process. This process includes integrating and evaluating the data that are obtained during the examination (history, systems review, and tests and measures) to describe the patient/client conditions in terms that will guide the physical therapist in determining the prognosis, plan of care, and intervention strategies. Thus the diagnostic label indicates the primary dysfunctions toward which the physical therapist directs interventions. The diagnostic process enables the physical therapist to verify the individual needs of each patient/client relative to similar individuals who are classified in the same pattern while also capturing the unique concerns of the patient/client in meeting those needs in a particular sociocultural and physical environment. If the diagnostic process does not yield an identifiable cluster (eg, of signs or symptoms, impairments, functional limitations, or disabilities) syndrome, or category, the physical therapist may administer interventions for the alleviation of symptoms and remediation of impairments. As in all other cases, the physical therapist is guided by patient/client responses to those interventions and may determine that examination is in order and proceed accordingly.
