Abstract
In this issue of JOSPT, we have included a collection of commentaries that focus on the issue of diagnosis in physical therapy. The idea to create the collection was precipitated by Nancy Zimny's submission of her manuscript entitled “Diagnostic Classification and Orthopaedic Physical Therapy Practice: What We Can Learn from Medicine.” Because she makes a number of potentially provocative points, we decided to take advantage of the opportunity to reignite the discussion about diagnosis in physical therapy. We chose to do so by inviting 3 distinguished members of our profession to write commentaries on her article. Dr. Peter O'Sullivan, Dr. Marilyn Moffat, and Dr. Anthony Delitto all graciously accepted our invitation and, as expected, each of them has provided a unique perspective. The author's response to the collection of commentaries provides yet another perspective. Our hope is that each of you will find at least 1 point to discuss further with your colleagues and keep the conversation going.
