Physiotherapy Assessment Documentation: What to Record and Why
What belongs in an assessment record, how SOAP maps onto measurement data, and the fields that make a second measurement comparable to the first.
Guides written for physiotherapists on posture analysis, ROM testing and going digital in the clinic.
What belongs in an assessment record, how SOAP maps onto measurement data, and the fields that make a second measurement comparable to the first.
Active versus passive values, the conditions that decide whether two measurements can be compared, normal reference ranges by joint, and the errors that quietly break tracking.
Why standardised measures often stay unused, how to choose one that fits the caseload, and how to fit administration into a session without losing clinical time.
When to re-measure, what has to stay constant for a comparison to hold, how to read a difference honestly, and how to show progress to the patient.
What a screen actually detects, why composite scores should not be read as injury risk, why asymmetry is more informative than the total, and what to do after a positive finding.
