5. What is a NCS (Neurologic Specialist Certification)?<\/span><\/p>\n

The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), a national professional organization representing more than 66,000 members throughout the United States, established the specialist certification program in 1978. Specialization is the process by which a physical therapist builds on a broad base of professional education and practice to develop a greater depth of knowledge and skills related to neurology. Clinical specialization in physical therapy responds to a specific area of patient need and requires knowledge, skill, and experience exceeding that of the physical therapist at entry to the profession and unique to neurological rehabilitation. The specialist certification program was established to provide formal recognition for physical therapists with advanced clinical knowledge, experience, and skills in neurological rehabilitation and to assist consumers and the health care community in identifying these physical therapists. Currently, there are 535 neurologic clinical specialists worldwide (www.apta.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
