To evaluate the fields of human anatomy and physiology important in clinical practice of physical therapy, a questionnaire survey was performed for 70 physical therapists who were practicing in general hospitals, clinics, public health centers, and rehabilitation centers in several provinces including Seoul and Chungcheongdo. Fields of anatomy and physiology were divided into 13 chapters and subdivided into 52 items. And the preferred ranks were statistically analysed according to the career of physical therapists, nature of the institute and the post of duty. As results joint system, muscular system, skeletal system and nervous system were ranked in the fields of great importance. The relative importance of practical knowledge in anatomy and physiology should be considered in educating students as well as reeducation of practitioners.
