Description

A fully up-to-date compendium of autonomy aids that offer physiotherapy professionals essential support in working to improve the quality of life of patients"

##IMAGE##

There are numerous and diverse autonomy supports that the physiotherapy professional must be aware of in order to be able to offer them to the people who require them. Studying and understanding them exhaustively is a gateway to effectiveness that will highlight the specific needs of each person, avoiding standardization and taking advantage of individual capabilities, studying their needs and, where appropriate, the limitations that may affect their use.

To intervene in these cases, the professional must assess and explore the patient's resistance and physiological reserves to establish the appropriate framework for action and whether to choose home care, residential care, day care centers, social centers or private clinics.

It is therefore essential to know the tools of physiotherapy and the appropriateness of their application in each case, such as active exercise, manual therapy and electrotherapy. Being able to work in an interdisciplinary team, with appropriate communication tools, understanding the concept of person-centered care, having the most up-to-date knowledge of support devices and even the support of current technology can be key to success in physical therapy treatment.
