Only the body louse is known to spread disease. Lice infestations (pediculosis and pthiriasis) are spread most commonly by close person-to-person contact. Dogs, cats, and other pets do not play a role in the transmission of human lice. Lice move by crawling; they cannot hop or fly.
Physical therapists also work with children who have major injuries or health conditions, such as cerebral palsy. They address the usual issues of range of motion, strength, endurance, and mobility. Also, the therapist considers the child's special growth and developmental needs.
Physical therapy helps you gain greater self-sufficiency, mobility, and productivity through exercises and other modalities intended to improve muscle strength, joint motion, coordination, and endurance. TRICARE doesn't cover the following physical therapy services (this list isn't all inclusive): 1  Diathermy, ultrasound and heat treatments for pulmonary conditions. 2  General exercise programs. 3  Electrical nerve stimulation to treat upper motor neuron disorders, such as multiple sclerosis.
