4 Elements in PT Practice
- Evaluation/Examination
- Formulation of Clinical Judgements and Treatment Plan
- Provide interventions
- Re-evaluation and outcome measures (FIM= Functional Independent Measure)
Evaluation/Examination
- -Chart review
- -PT interview
- -Recent Medical course
- -Medications
- -Cognitive status
- -Function prior to admission
- -home situation/environment
- -PT’s goals
Evaluation/Examination cont
- -Vital signs
- -Pain assessment
- -Skin inspection
- -Sensation
- -Posture
- -ROM (AROM & PROM)
- -Strength/motor control
- -Tone
- -Balance
- -Functional Tests
Evaluation of Pain (PQRSTQ)
- -Provoke (triggers vs. relief)
- -Quality (dull, sharp, shock-like, burning)
- -Radiates -Severity (pain scale)
- -Time (history, periods of exacerbation, constant)
- -Questionnaire (Oswestry scale etc.)
Functional Evaluation (one of the most important part of evaluation)
ADLs - activities of daily living
- Bed mobility
- Transfers
- Sit to stand
- Ambulation
- WC mobility
- Standard functional tests
Functional Tests
- • TUG (The Up and Go)- time that a person takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down. should be less than 10 secs
- • 10 meter walk test- looks at elapsed time it takes to walk 10 meters
- • Functional ambulation profile (GAITRite®)- mat looks at step length, velocity, symmetry…
- • 6 minute walk test- walk for 6 min. look at distance & calculate velocity
- • 3 minute walk test- abbreviated one
- • Functional reach test- standing & reaching out
- • Berg balance test- test for balance to see if risk for falls
Cinical Implications Related to Gait Velocity
- Correlational to general health status, functional capabilities
- Individual confidence in balance
- Need for rehabilitation / “red flag”
- Provide criteria for discharge
- Contribute to outcome measures
- Relation to quality of gait
Fomulation of Treatment Plan
- -Results of evaluation (based on)
- -Problem lists (patients major problems)
- -Goals writing (short term & long term)
- -Modifications / progressions
- -Priorities
- -Referrals (if you feel patient needs a specialist)
Provide Interventions
- -Functional Training
- Therapeutic Exercise
- -Stretching
- -Positioning (in bed, wheelchair)
- -Manual Therapy
- -Orthotic/prosthetic training
- -Balance activities
- -Patient education
- -Specialized interventions (kinesio tape, dry needling, manual lymph. draining)
