Book Description
Use outcome tools and measures to evaluate the effectiveness of your treatment methods. This step-by-step guide shows you how to incorporate evidence-based methods when interpreting outcomes of physical therapy on individual patients.
Following the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model, you will learn how to select the appropriate outcome measures by defining needs and barriers, identifying the steps to take when searching for a measure, and choosing critical appraisal criteria. You will also learn how to critically review studies from the literature that reports outcome measures.
