Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists are autonomous healthcare professionals who independently formulate physical therapeutic and occupational therapeutic diagnoses, prescribe treatment plans, and determine discharge criteria without requiring prior medical prescription. Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists are legally prohibited from evaluating patients without an explicit, detailed medical prescription specifying the exact modalities and number of sessions. Diagnostic autonomy is restricted exclusively to academic teaching institutions, while hospital practice mandates subordinating all therapeutic plans to clinical medical orders. Occupational Therapists possess full diagnostic autonomy, but Physiotherapists are legally classified as technical assistants auxiliary to physicians.
