swelling, it also involves the use of passive physical therapy like cold compresses, hot packs,
ultrasound and electrical stimulation (Pagliarulo, 2021). The present project is research proposal
that covers major part of the research project in brief way and this proposal would play as a
direction to the whole research project. The research would select primary and secondary sources
to collect information so that defined research questions could be addressed and answered in a
systematic manner.
Research aim:
“To identify the growing importance of physical therapy in improving quality of life of
patients.”
Research Objectives
 To understand the concept and purpose of physical therapy in medical term
 To determine the different types of physical therapy in improving quality of life of
patients
 To ascertain the benefits of physical therapy for patients
Research questions
 What is the concept and purpose of physical therapy in medical term?
 What are the different types of physical therapy in improving quality of life of patients?
 What are the benefits of physical therapy for patients?
Research Rationale
The main purpose to conduct investigation is to determine the growing importance of
physical therapy in improving quality of life of patients. In this modern time people are really
dealing with the issues of swelling and pain in different joints and parts of the body (Chan, Pua
