Only the body louse is known to spread disease. Lice infestations (pediculosis and pthiriasis) are spread most commonly by close person-to-person contact. Dogs, cats, and other pets do not play a role in the transmission of human lice. Lice move by crawling; they cannot hop or fly.
Physical therapists also work with children who have major injuries or health conditions, such as cerebral palsy. They address the usual issues of range of motion, strength, endurance, and mobility. Also, the therapist considers the child's special growth and developmental needs.
The professional physical therapist typically helps patients to overcome movement difficulties related to the skeletal and muscular system. There are also other specialty areas in physical therapy that call for the services of a physical therapist. One of these areas of specialty is the cardiopulmonary field.
