1. Importance of Outcome Measures
Outcome measures provide a way to improve communication with caregivers and other health professionals and can have a direct impact on patient outcomes. This chapter focuses on appropriately choosing outcome measures that not only match a person’s priority impairments but allow the patient to easily observe improvement throughout therapy. These outcome measures are broken into four major body structure/function categories: posture, strength, aerobic conditioning, and balance.
2. Outcome Measures for Posture and Strength
Assessing a patient’s safety at home and out in the community is a priority. However, you need to have an understanding of some basic foundational areas that can impact the body structure/function. Posture and strength are areas necessary to rule out before being able to truly identify any balance issue and the use of objective outcome measures is key.
3. Outcome Measures for Aerobic Conditioning and Balance
This chapter progresses to assessing aerobic conditioning while highlighting key items to include when addressing balance. Progressing in a logical sequence through the four assessment areas can make the therapist's evaluation quick yet comprehensive.
4. Choosing and Implications of Outcome Measure Results: Video
Performing a comprehensive assessment allows a better understanding of the big picture. This chapter takes the cumulative findings from outcome measures in all four body structure/function sections and highlights the meaning of those results.
