The Brazilian Classification of Physical Therapy Diagnosis, developed by the Federal Council of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy (COFFITO), has the constitutional objectives of standardizing ethical, scientific and social aspects of the Physical Therapy profession.
To describe the work process, rationale and proposal for standardization of a physical therapy diagnosis classification system in Brazil.
A working group was created to propose a standardized classification for the description and codification of physical therapy diagnoses. Some terminologies common to the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) were used to make the nomenclature of diagnoses compatible with the outcomes inherent in the field of physical therapy.
The Brazilian Classification of Physical Therapy Diagnosis project culminated in a physical therapy diagnosis model consisting of terms grouped by organic systems and identifying codes. In addition, an application was developed to allow professionals to use the standardized diagnostic classification in an online system.
The diagnostic classification system is expected to advance the Physical Therapy profession allowing the identification of structural and/or functional alterations in a simplified and standardised manner. From a physical therapy perspective, this classification may help to consolidate the autonomy of the Brazilian physical therapists by establishing a clearer pathway between the diagnosis and interventions.
巴西物理治疗诊断分类由联邦物理治疗和职业治疗理事会（COFFITO）制定，其宪法目标是规范物理治疗专业的道德、科学和社会方面。
描述在巴西制定物理治疗诊断分类系统的标准化工作流程、基本原理和建议。
成立了一个工作组，提出了一种标准化的分类方法，用于描述和编码物理治疗诊断。使用了一些与国际功能、残疾和健康分类（ICF）共同的术语，使诊断名称与物理治疗领域固有的结果相兼容。
巴西物理治疗诊断分类项目最终形成了一个物理治疗诊断模型，其中包括按有机系统分组的术语和识别码。此外，还开发了一个应用程序，允许专业人员在在线系统中使用标准化的诊断分类。
诊断分类系统有望推动物理治疗专业的发展，使结构和/或功能改变的识别更加简化和标准化。从物理治疗的角度来看，这种分类方法可以通过在诊断和干预之间建立更清晰的途径，帮助巩固巴西物理治疗师的自主权。
