Main Article Content
This study examines the relevance of adopting the theories of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) in Colombia, considering the differences in the socioeconomic and health contexts between the two countries. Through a systematic literature review, 20 articles were analyzed that explore the influence of the APTA and the particularities of the Colombian health system. The results reveal that APTA theories, designed for a highly technological environment, do not always fit the conditions in Colombia, where resource distribution is unequal and access to advanced technologies is limited. The study emphasizes the need to develop local theories in Colombia to ensure a more effective and contextualized physical therapy practice, avoiding intellectual dependency and promoting local innovation. Finally, it concludes that the creation of a theoretical framework based on local research is essential for an autonomous, relevant, and sustainable physical therapy in the Colombian context.
