Diet and nutrition are critical components of health, recovery from disease and illness, performance, and normal growth across the lifespan. Thus, it is important for physical therapists to be knowledgeable about nutrition and to have competency in providing information and guidance to patients/clients. Yet, there is an overwhelming amount of diet and nutrition information available from numerous sources, which makes it difficult to reach conclusions and determine the importance and relevance to patient care. The purpose of this perspective paper is to increase the knowledge and skills of physical therapists by providing guidelines for healthy eating and outlining diet and nutrition information most relevant for physical therapist practice and to clarify professional scope of practice related to diet and nutrition, including boundaries created by law, and the connection between healthy eating and health outcomes, muscle strength, bone health, and wound healing.
饮食和营养是健康、疾病和疾病康复、表现和整个生命周期正常生长的关键组成部分。因此，物理治疗师了解营养知识并具备向患者/客户提供信息和指导的能力非常重要。然而，来自众多来源的饮食和营养信息数量巨大，这使得很难得出结论并确定其对患者护理的重要性和相关性。本文的目的是通过提供健康饮食指南并概述与物理治疗实践最相关的饮食和营养信息，来提高物理治疗师的知识和技能，并澄清与饮食和营养相关的专业实践范围，包括法律规定的界限以及健康饮食与健康结果、肌肉力量、骨骼健康和伤口愈合之间的联系。
