Deppending the country a health care profesional is subject to thats country law. Nonetheless deppends what you will consult eg exercises or to provide a diagnosis. Diagnosis in most countrys is dedicated to the Drs. If you meant to assess (mind the word am using) for ROM or isokinetic results, you can.Quote:

You welcome. To add something up you may have a very good idea for torn ACL or ATFL and you may have perform the manual special testing perfect. In acase that you are not allowed to express the assessment/diagnosis you can always suggest your belief with justification to the client and refer them.Quote:

You would need to check the specific requirements applicable to the country in which you wish to practise physiotherapy. You are likely to find that an exam will need to be passed if you wish to practise in a country other than the one in which you received your training.
Hope this is of benefit.
