tests and measurements during the objective phase of SOAP would include

Answer 23

posture / gait observation
range of motion (PROM/AROM)
strength (MMT)
joint mobility
palpation
special / neurological testing
systems review

Question 24

what is the ICF model?

Answer 24

international classification of function

Question 25

where does the ICF model become specific to patient? why?

Answer 25

around the activities section
- ie one can have a health condition that disrupts body function but then the activites that one wants to return to becomes specific based upon environmental / personal factors

Question 26

what are important aspects when developing a POC

Answer 26

goals and the path to goals need to be in agreeance between patient / therapist

Question 27
