Abstract

The time spent per household and senior citizen center or facility were 51.9min/day and 81.5min/day, respectively. Conclusion(s): It is considered that 5 patients a day is proper workload for visiting physical therapy in Korea, provided that work hour is 540minutes a day. Implications: Judging from these results, it seems necessary to standardize the working patterns of visiting physical therapists inKorea. Additionally,more efficient therapymanagement system and program development are needed, as well as more research and institutional support in order for visiting physical therapy to gain a foothold at the community level.
