Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Physical therapists are on the front lines of wound management in many healthcare settings, and treat patients during the most critical stages of wound care and healing. They possess in-depth knowledge of anatomy and tissue healing as well as mobility and positioning expertise.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proliferative phase. The milestones during the proliferative phase include replacement of the provisional fibrin matrix with a new matrix of collagen fibers, proteoglycans, and fibronectin to restore the structure and function to the tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -The remodelling phase is focused on increasing the cellular organization of the collagen fibres and increasing the strength between the bonds.

Detailed explanation-4: -One of the primary functions of wound healing is to restore the protective epithelial barrier. Without this defense, our initial protection against infection is gone, which leaves us vulnerable to outside pathogens and fluid loss. Later stages of wound healing are important for regaining tissue volume and strength.
