Assess gait. Tandem GAIT. Tandem (heel-to-toe) gait. Heel walking. Tip-toe walking.
FISIOTERAPIA (FT, not PT) is a possible treatment. This is the description of the problem, not the prescription!!
I would ask the Client. Translation is NOT clairvoyance!!
That is difficult due to the '-' between the P and the T.
It could mean Post. or Posterior. Then thoracic.
PT = prothrombin time or Physical Therapy.
