062-7 Wyo. Code R. § 7-4
The physical therapist assistant may assist in the practice of physical therapy only to the extent allowed by the supervising physical therapist. When a physical therapist delegates patient care to physical therapist assistants or other supportive personnel, the physical therapist holds responsibility for supervision of the physical therapy program. Physical therapists shall not delegate to a less qualified person any activity that requires the unique skills, knowledge, and judgment of the physical therapist. The primary responsibility for physical therapy care rendered by supportive personnel rests with the supervising physical therapist. Adequate supervision requires, at a minimum, that the supervising physical therapist perform the following activities:
(a) Designate or establish channels of written and oral communication.
(b) Interpret available information concerning the individual under care.
(c) Provide initial evaluation.
(d) Develop plan of care, including functional long-term goals.
(e) Select and delegate appropriate tasks for plan of care.
(f) Assess competence of supportive personnel to perform assigned tasks.
(g) Direct and supervise supportive personnel in delegated tasks.
(h) Identify and document precautions, goals, anticipated progress, and plans for reevaluation.
(i) Reevaluate, adjust plan of care when necessary, perform final evaluation, and establish follow up plan of care.
