Abstract

Background: Medicare recipients historically have been discharged from rehabilitation when progress plateaus. This improvement standard continues to shape episodic practice of physical therapy (PT). The Jimmo v Sebelius decision of 2013 has the potential to open physical therapist practice with the adoption of community-based maintenance PT into everyday practice. Conclusion: Prevention and maintenance of function are supported by the American Physical Therapy Association. Evidence suggests that intervention over time combats frailty, reduces fall risk, improves functional outcomes, and prevents movement disability. Community-based maintenance PT as a method of moving from the episodic restorative model to a continuous paradigm of restoration, prevention, and maintenance is proposed.

维持性物理治疗

背景：历史上，医疗保险受益人在进展停滞时就已经从康复中出院。这一改进标准继续塑造了物理治疗（PT）的偶发性实践。2013年Jimmo诉Sebelius案的判决有可能通过将基于社区的维护PT纳入日常实践，开启物理治疗师实践。结论：预防和维持功能得到了美国物理治疗协会的支持。有证据表明，随着时间的推移，干预可以对抗虚弱，降低跌倒风险，改善功能结果，并防止运动障碍。基于社区的维护PT是一种从偶发性恢复模式转变为恢复、预防和维护的连续范式的方法。
