The PTA performs physical therapy procedures and related tasks that have been selected and delegated by the supervising physical therapist.

In addition to direct patient care, the PTA may also perform such functions as patient transport, and clinic or equipment preparation and maintenance. Currently more than half of all states require PTAs to be licensed, registered or certified.
