What is Physical Therapy Evaluation?
An annual PT evaluation, allow you to establish
an individualized training program to address any
physical impairment early in the process
(including decreasing balance, accelerated loss
of muscle or bone mass). Taking a proactive
stance to address noted physical impairments is a
basic advance in safeguarding a healthy aging
process while keeping flexibility and autonomy
which is crucial to age well.

PT Evaluation has 2 components

• Patient history (which includes symptom
  examination and review of systems)
• Tests and measures (including an initial
  screening of the neuromuscular,
  cardiovascular/pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and
  integumentary systems) Physical therapists get
  the patient history and execute tests and
  measures with the motive to make the diagnosis
  and decide the necessities of the patient. The
  physical therapist has the obligation to
  determine whether there is adequate data to
  illuminate decision making regarding
• Whether the patient would benefit from physical
  therapy
• Choice of interventions
• Preparation of the plan of care
• Execution and evolution of interventions

Why Physical Therapy Evaluation is Important?
As mentioned above, a PT evaluation allows you to
identify different areas of concern. Many of the
most widely recognized illnesses or impairments
begin to a certain degree of minor irritations.
However, when left untreated, they can form into
weakening and ground breaking impairments. For
instance, a case of knee torment left untreated
can advance and gradually limit your capacity.
This can, in the end, lead to extreme muscle
shortcoming, continuous chronic pain, and the
loss of your capacity to perform even the most
fundamental tasks (for example, standing up from
a seat or can and strolling freely). Now imagine
if your knee torment was proactively managed.
During your PT evaluation, you work with your
Physiotherapist to build up an individualized
exercise and extending remedy. Upon execution,
your knee pain resolves! Now you have a
preventive training program to reduce your risk
of creating knee pain again. Moreover, youre
set up for accomplishment in proceeding with your
sound and dynamic way of life as a major aspect
of aging well.
