  • Perform initial examinations and evaluations to establish an impairment or diagnosis, prognosis, and plan of care before intervention for people with basic and some complex rehabilitation needs in acute care, outpatient, or inpatient rehabilitation settings; flex to any rehabilitation site as needed.
