Description
"While fine-grained and detailed records (e.g. exactly which type of exercise was performed, which muscle groups were activated, how many repetitions were performed, how many intervals were done, etc.) are important for certain types of therapy and for research purposes, they are too complex and onerous for wide-spread use and are not easily evaluated to assess whether "this patient is sufficiently active to maintain good health". "
Yet, in Specification > Plans & Interventions (Referrals section), physiotherapy is mentioned explicitly, suggesting that so-called complex measures in fact are needed!
A physiotherapist will benefit from such complex measures to understand the limitations of a patient and to address these in performing certain types of exercises safely and effectively.
