Who can supervise a PTALA?

  1. PTA

  2. PT

  3. PT student

  4. No supervision needed

The correct answer is: PT

PTALA stands for Physical Therapist Assistant Limited Activities. This is a type of certification for physical therapy aides who have knowledge of physical therapy but have not completed the full requirements of a physical therapy assistant. This means that the PTALA is not a fully licensed PTA and therefore cannot supervise others. A PT or physical therapist is the only one qualified to supervise a PTALA. PT students do not yet have the necessary knowledge and skills to supervise. Option D, no supervision needed, is incorrect as a PTALA must always be supervised by a qualified physical therapist.
