Exam Purpose

The NPTE program has two purposes: 1) to provide examination services to regulatory authorities charged with the regulation of physical therapists and physical therapist assistants; and 2) to provide a common element in the evaluation of candidates so that standards will be comparable from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The national examination is only one part of the evaluation process used by licensing authorities. In some jurisdictions, the national examination is supplemented by other means of assessing candidates' ability to provide physical therapy.

The physical therapist (PT) examination is designed to assess basic entry-level competence of the licensure candidate who has graduated from an accredited program of physical therapy or from an equivalent non-accredited program.

The physical therapist assistant (PTA) examination is intended to assess basic entry-level competence of the candidate who has graduated from an accredited program for physical therapist assistants or has met equivalent requirements set by a licensing authority for physical therapist assistants.

Physical Therapists examine patients, identify primary problems and establish Physical Therapy diagnoses, determine prognosis, plan and implement interventions, modify the treatment plan according to the patient's progress, provide prevention and wellness programs, and consult, educate and perform research and administrative duties in several different environments.

As experts in movement science, Physical Therapists evaluate joint motion, muscle strength, endurance, and functional ability, function of heart and lungs, and developmental activities for patients across the lifespan. After making the diagnosis and determining the prognosis, Physical Therapists use exercise, joint mobilization, cardiovascular endurance training, therapeutic massage, therapeutic electrical modalities, wound debridement, ambulation training, and education on functional activities, relaxation and prevention to help patients achieve their goals.
