What Role Do Physical Therapists Play in Neonatal Care?
Physical therapists (PTs) are vital members of the healthcare team in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). They focus on assessing and promoting optimal motor and sensory development in infants who may be experiencing a range of neonatal disorders. PTs work closely with neonatologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care tailored to each infant's needs.
