AB Physical  therapists  are  responsible  for  the  exercise  prescription  and  management  of  patients  with  neurological  disorders.  Physical  therapists  can  best  treat  patients  with  neurological  illnesses  by  focusing  on  neurological  impairments,  functional  limitations,  and  participation  outcomes  while  considering  the  cardiopulmonary  system.  The  cardiopulmonary  system  plays  an  important  role  in  functional  activities  because  of  its  role  in  transporting  oxygen  to  skeletal  muscle.  Abnormalities  in  the  cardiopulmonary  system  can  produce  limitations  in  movement  and  thus  functional  outcomes.
