(1) Practices physical therapy without the prescription therefor of a physician authorized to practice medicine in Puerto Rico.
(2) Has used drugs or intoxicating liquors to the point where his professional ability is hampered.
(3) Has been convicted of a felony or of any offense involving moral turpitude.

(6) Has been declared mentally deranged by a competent court.
(7) Practices as a practical physical therapist or as a physical therapist assistant without being under the direction and direct supervision of a physiotherapist duly licensed by the Board.
Any person whose license has been denied, suspended, revoked or cancelled by the Board may petition the Court of First Instance, San Juan Part, for a review, which may be granted if and when the Board has obviously erred in the evaluation of the test, and/or has committed errors of law in resolving the case.
The applicant must first petition the Board for a reconsideration of its adverse resolution within a term of ten (10) days after notice thereof by the Board. Once reconsidered, if the decision is adverse, the applicant may appeal to the Court of First Instance within a term of fifteen (15) days after notification of the resolution.
