無執照或非依指示執行物理治療業務之刑事責任【本期企劃】 試閱
Criminal Liability for Unlicensed or Non-Ordered Practice of Physical Therapeutic Practices
物理治療師執行業務須按醫師指示為之，若未依指示或自始無資格卻從事物理治療業務者，物理治療師法有相對應的刑事制裁規定。依立法理由，主要是仿照醫師法第28條密醫罪所制定。但隨著時代變遷，我國逐漸步入高齡化社會，對於物理治療服務的多元需求日益漸增，除了須由醫師指示的物理治療業務外，物理治療師是否亦能有獨立執行業務的空間？本文將從未依法執行物理治療業務的刑事責任來探討相關問題，並提出具體建議。
Physiotherapists must follow the doctor’s instructions to perform their duties. If they fail to follow the instructions or engage in physical therapy despite being unqualified from the beginning, the Physical Therapists Act provides for criminal punishment. However, with the changing times, our country is gradually entering an aging society, and the diverse demands for physical therapy services are increasing. In addition to the physical therapy services that must be instructed by doctors, can physical therapists also have the space to perform their services independently? This article will discuss the issue from the perspective of the criminal law responsibility for illegally implementing physical therapeutic practices, and put forward specific suggestions.
