Egypt Physiotherapy Licensure Exam study guide
Egypt Physiotherapy Licensure Exam · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Egyptian physiotherapy licensure examination is the entry-to-practice assessment that a graduate of a physiotherapy programme must pass before being registered to practise independently in Egypt. It is intended for final-year students and new graduates who hold, or are about to hold, a physiotherapy degree from an Egyptian university or an equivalent qualification recognised by the competent authority. The Egypt Physiotherapy Licensure Exam study guide has 11 sections and about 5,376 words.
01Anatomy and Kinesiology
This domain tests structure–function reasoning: whether you can move from a joint's shape, axis and innervation to the exercise or manual technique you would actually choose. Items typically present a movement, a muscle action, or a nerve lesion and ask for the mechanical or anatomical explanation.
467 words, about 2 min02Physiology and Exercise Physiology
This domain checks whether you can predict how a patient's cardiorespiratory and metabolic systems respond to load, and how to turn that into a defensible intensity prescription. Expect calculation items and questions about precautions in cardiac, metabolic and respiratory disease.
450 words, about 2 min03Pathology and Medical Sciences
This domain tests whether you can connect disease processes and healing timelines to safe physiotherapy decisions. Questions often hinge on recognising a condition that must be referred, or on timing a loading programme to the phase of tissue repair.
436 words, about 2 min04Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
This domain tests clinical reasoning rather than memorised protocols: can you take a history, clear red flags, weigh special tests against pretest probability, and match a loading strategy to the tissue state and its irritability? Classify pain as somatic, radicular or visceral.
444 words, about 2 min05Neurological Physiotherapy
This domain tests lesion localisation, accurate impairment measurement, and the translation of neuroplasticity principles into task-specific training. Items commonly ask you to identify a stage, a scale score, or the next functional goal.
440 words, about 2 min06Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy
This domain tests airway clearance technique selection and safe, effective exercise prescription in people with cardiac or respiratory disease. Items frequently ask which technique suits which secretion problem, or how to set and monitor exercise intensity.
427 words, about 2 min07Pediatric Physiotherapy
This domain tests developmental surveillance, primitive reflex knowledge, and condition-specific management in infants and children. Items typically present an age and a behaviour and ask whether it is normal, delayed, or a sign of neurological dysfunction.
438 words, about 2 min08Therapeutic Modalities and Electrotherapy
This domain tests parameter literacy and safety. Most marks are lost not on the concept of a modality but on wrong frequency, wrong intensity, wrong duration, or a missed contraindication.
413 words, about 2 min09Assessment, Measurement and Outcome Evaluation
This domain tests whether you can choose a measure, administer it consistently, and interpret change against measurement error rather than against intuition. Expect psychometric calculations and questions about which outcome measure fits a given population.
437 words, about 2 min10Professional Ethics, Law and Patient Safety
This domain tests professional conduct, consent, confidentiality, scope of practice and everyday safety behaviours. Questions tend to be scenario-based: what should the therapist do next, and what must be documented?
434 words, about 2 min11Research Methods, Evidence-Based Practice and Biostatistics
This domain tests whether you can read a paper critically: identify the design, judge the risk of bias, and apply the result to your patient. It also covers the diagnostic and inferential statistics used in physiotherapy literature.
