As elements involving the collective within the actions of prevention oriented by physiotherapy professionals, we can find the promoting actions, which should specify the conceptual models that are based on. Our proposal comes from this previous premise and is called «Integrative Model to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Physiotherapy Interventions on Function-Related Quality of Life», whose main objective is to help guide the selection of both out-comes and therapeutic strategies, projects arising from physiotherapy, in certain types of contexts (informal care, chronic patient care, etc. ). This model is based on two main principles: the expansion of the models based on the functioning of individuals with different conditions -including those with no clear diagnosis of deterioration/dysfunction- and the complementarity towards experiences more «human» and close to «philosophical» perspectives such as quality of life and well-being. Not surprisingly, this model is under discussion, since it suggests the development of physiotherapy interventions which help to reduce/control said deterioration -or to prevent its risk of occurrence-based on features such as increasing the resources of individuals and/or mitigating their vulnerability.
