摘要：The purpose of study was to compare the evaluation algorithms of a health services client from the perspective of physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT). We considered as a case-study a 65-year-old man, living in an urban area, diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and depression. We applied for this client the evaluation protocols of the PT and of the OT domains. As a conclusion, we have ascertained that these evaluation protocols are related, but not superimposable, both professions dealing with health issues. In such circumstances, the need of therapeutic complementarity becomes evident, for the full benefit of the client.
