Physical rehabilitation technicians teach and motivate patients to learn or improve necessary activities such as walking, climbing and general mobility. They watch patients during treatment and record and report their progress to physical therapists. They also fit patients for and teach them to use corrective equipment, which may be braces or artificial arms and legs or supportive devices such as wheelchairs. Physical rehabilitation technicians aid people who have been injured or ill return to a healthy lifestyle. They also help those with permanent disabilities to try and achieve the highest possible level of physical function.
