Physical Therapy Management (current best evidence)[edit | edit source]
MRSA is not primarily managed by physical therapy. Instead it is the physical therapist’s role to identify comorbidities that are inhibiting functional activity and treat the patient’s symptoms. When treating a patient with MRSA, it’s important for the physical therapist to know proper disinfecting techniques to prevent the spread of the disease. Precautions to be taken when treating a patient with MRSA include but are not limited to:[5][6][7]
- Buy disinfectants that are registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
- Note how to properly apply each product, how long it needs to be left on the surface, if the surface needs to be rinsed prior, if it’s only for specific surfaces, etc.
- Laundering specific clothes, towels and linens separately would be appropriate but not always necessary – wash and dry in the warmest temperate recommended on each piece of linen individually
- All surfaces ad equipment that came in contact with the patient should be cleaned, sometimes individual equipment for the patient with MRSA may be necessary if equipment cannot be properly cleaned
- Use barriers between the patient’s skin and surface when possible
- Physical therapist should wash body parts immediately after making contact with patient’s skin
- Patient should keep all open wounds clean and covered at all times until healed
