Do physical therapist use stethoscopes

Answer 1

Physical therapists typically do not use stethoscopes as part of their standard practice. Their primary focus is on evaluating and treating movement disorders, rehabilitation, and improving patients' physical function. While they may assess vital signs in some situations, this is usually not done with a stethoscope, as it is more common in medical professions like nursing or cardiology. However, they might collaborate with other healthcare providers who use stethoscopes for more comprehensive patient assessments.
