Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyonun Mesleki Gelişim Tarihçesi

 

Özet (≤250 KELİME)

        Fizyoterapistlerin, mesleğin tarihçesini ve ilk günlerden beri toplum sağlığına olan katkılarını bilmeleri, mesleğin bundan sonraki hedeflerini belirlemeleri açısından oldukça önemlidir. Fizyoterapinin mesleki tarihçesi oldukça eskilere dayanmasına rağmen, modern anlamdaki tarihçe 19. yüzyılda İngiltere ve Amerika’da başlamıştır. Bu yüzyılın başında gelişen polimyelit epidemisi ve 1. Dünya Savaşı, modern fizyoterapi mesleğinin başlamasını sağlayan önemli nedenler olmuş ve mesleğin gelişimi ortopedistlerin yardımı ile gerçekleşmiştir. 19. yüzyılın sonlarına doğru teknolojinin gelişimi ve küresel ölçekteki etkileri sonucu, fizyoterapi alanındaki gelişmeler hızlanmıştır. Klinik uygulamalarda ortaya çıkan gelişimi, meslekte özelleşme, kanıta dayalı bilimsel çalışmalar ve akademik yapılanmalar takip etmiştir. Günümüzde fizyoterapistler, 112 üye ülke ve 360.000’den fazla üyesi olan Dünya Fizyoterapi Konfederasyonu (WCPT)

çatısı altında toplanmıştır. WCPT bünyesinde, fizyoterapide farklı özelleşme alanlarını gösteren 12 dünya derneği bulunmaktadır. Bugün fizyoterapistlerin, bir çok ülkedeki eğitim seviyesi, bilimsel yeterlilikleri, mesleki yetki ve sorumlulukları oldukça yüksektir ve yükselmeye devam etmektedir.
