Book Synopsis PHYSIOTHERAPY SPECIAL TESTS AND OUTCOME MESURES by : Dr Sharick Shamsi
Download or read book PHYSIOTHERAPY SPECIAL TESTS AND OUTCOME MESURES written by Dr Sharick Shamsi and published by JEC PUBLICATION. This book was released on with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the culmination of nearly three years of work that we have done. We had never expected it would take anything like as long, but we have discovered vastly more than we ever thought possible, and in fact what we have done now touches almost every existing area of physiotherapy special tests and its outcome measures, and quite a bit besides. We have tried to give a fairly complete coverage of the field describing the most common term physiotherapy special tests and its outcome measures known to us to be employed by physical therapists. In the initial chapters we have tried to explain in details various special tests and outcome measures because we feel that thorough understanding of these tests will ultimately lead to safer and more effective clinical practice. Therefore, the book builds up from basics to give a description of types of tests along with the rehabilitation methods and their outcome measure available to the physical therapist. Each outcome measure is explained with reasonably comprehensive range of references to support them. With the very welcome involvement of physical therapist in research, we hope to give them access to the vast amount of literature upon which they are encourage to base their final clinical intervention. In the early years, we did as we had done before as a researcher, and published accounts of our ongoing work in the scientific literature. But although what we wrote seemed to be very well received, we gradually came to realize that technical papers scattered across the journals of all sorts of fields could never successfully communicate the kind of major new intellectual structure that we seemed to be beginning to build. So, we resolved just to keep working quietly until we had finished, and was ready to present everything in a single coherent way. Three years later this book is the result. However, our sincere hope is that we have made physiotherapy special tests and its outcome measures and their outcome measure used in their rehabilitation, more comprehensible, which will, in turn, will raise the standers of safe and effective rehabilitation for our patients-the aim of us all.

Book Synopsis Principles of Assessment and Outcome Measurement for Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists by : Alison Laver Fawcett

This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook on assessment and outcome measurement is written for both occupational therapy and physiotherapy students and qualified therapists. It begins by defining what is meant by assessment, outcome, evaluation and measurement and discussing the complexity of therapy assessment and measurement, including the challenge of measuring human behaviour and the impact of factors such as task demand and context, including the environment. Methods of data collection (e.g. observation, interview, standardised testing) and sources (e.g. self-report, proxy) for collecting information about clients are then reviewed, and the main purposes of assessment (e.g. descriptive, evaluative, predictive, discriminative) presented. The book then addresses the topics of standardisation, levels of measurement, reliability, validity and clinical utility. There is a chapter describing and applying models for categorizing levels of function to aid assessment and measurement. The concept of clinical reasoning and reflective practice is then explored. Application of principles is supported through detailed case studies and worksheets and the criteria for test critique and guidelines for choosing a particular assessment approach are discussed.

Book Synopsis Functional Assessment for Adults with Disabilities by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Functional Assessment for Adults with Disabilities written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-08-31 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) provides disability benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. To receive SSDI or SSI disability benefits, an individual must meet the statutory definition of disability, which is "the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity [SGA] by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." SSA uses a five-step sequential process to determine whether an adult applicant meets this definition. Functional Assessment for Adults with Disabilities examines ways to collect information about an individual's physical and mental (cognitive and noncognitive) functional abilities relevant to work requirements. This report discusses the types of information that support findings of limitations in functional abilities relevant to work requirements, and provides findings and conclusions regarding the collection of information and assessment of functional abilities relevant to work requirements.

Book Synopsis Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes by : Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality/AHRQ
Download or read book Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes written by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality/AHRQ and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This User’s Guide is intended to support the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and quality evaluation of registries created to increase understanding of patient outcomes. For the purposes of this guide, a patient registry is an organized system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other) to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes. A registry database is a file (or files) derived from the registry. Although registries can serve many purposes, this guide focuses on registries created for one or more of the following purposes: to describe the natural history of disease, to determine clinical effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of health care products and services, to measure or monitor safety and harm, and/or to measure quality of care. Registries are classified according to how their populations are defined. For example, product registries include patients who have been exposed to biopharmaceutical products or medical devices. Health services registries consist of patients who have had a common procedure, clinical encounter, or hospitalization. Disease or condition registries are defined by patients having the same diagnosis, such as cystic fibrosis or heart failure. The User’s Guide was created by researchers affiliated with AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, particularly those who participated in AHRQ’s DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions About Effectiveness) program. Chapters were subject to multiple internal and external independent reviews.
