AB This  chapter  will  cover  several  topics,  including  the  gastrointestinal,  genitourinary,  metabolic,  and  endocrine  systems,  and  cover  a  few  systematic  issues,  including  cancer,  obstetrics  and  gynecology,  and  psychiatric  disorders.  As  a  physical  therapist  assistant  (PTA),  these  various  systems  are  not  within  the  scope  of  physical  therapy  in  terms  of  diagnosis,  but  the  PTA  must  be  aware  of  all  of  the  manifestations  that  dysfunction  to  any  system  can  elicit.  Also,  the  PTA  must  understand  the  impact  on  these  conditions  during  exercise.  Finally,  understanding  the  physiology,  pathology,  and  side  effects  of  medications  to  treat  these  abnormalities  is  a  prerequisite  to  determining  the  best  treatment  interventions,  progression,  and  care.
