• The ACAPT Clinical Reasoning Curricula & Assessment Consortium’s (CRCAC) adopted understanding of clinical reasoning as outlined in Clinical reasoning in physical therapy: A concept analysis

“Based on the concept analysis and the themes and patterns that emerged, clinical reasoning in physical therapy could be conceptualized as integrating cognitive, psychomotor and affective skills. It is contextual in nature and involves both therapist and client perspectives. It is adaptive, iterative and collaborative with the intended outcome being a biopsychosocial approach to patient/client management.”
