This semistructured process is used to rule out serious pathology (so called red flags),
establish functional limitations, refine the diagnosis, guide therapy, and establish a baseline
for monitoring progress. As such, the objective exam will then use certain quantifiable
measurements to both guide diagnosis and for progress monitoring. These depend upon the
system (and area) being managed, eg a musculoskeletal exam may involve, inter alia,
assessment of joint range of motion, muscle power, motor control and posture, whilst a
cardiopulmonary assessment may involve lung auscultation and exercise physiology testing.
Treatment
Guided by the ass essment findings , the phys iotherapis t will then develop and facilitate
a treatment plan. Aside from the various physiotherapeutic teachniques involved in therapy,
the treatment regimen may include prescribing and advice regarding assistive walking
devices; should consider functional progress; and include ongoing review and refinement.
Patient education is a key aspect of all treatment plans.
It is difficult to explore the many aspects of physiotherapeutic treatment options,
especially considering their ongoing development in the face of an increasing research base.
Nonetheless, some examples of treatment options are listed below.
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy
Various therapeutic physiotherapy modalities are available, including exercise
prescription (strength, motor control, stretching and endurance), manual techniques, soft
tissue massage, and various forms of so-called "electrophysical agents" (such as
cryotherapy, heat therapy and electrotherapy).
Despite ongoing research giving a clearer picture regarding the use of various
modalities in specific conditions, the benefits of electrotherapy are widely debated.
Neurological ph ys iotherapy
Treatment in neurological conditions is typically based upon exercises to restore
motor function through attempting to overcome motor deficits and improve motor patterns.
To achieve this aim various theoretical frameworks have been promoted, each based upon
inferences drawn from basic and clinical science research. Whilst some of these have
remained static, others are designed to take into account new developments, perhaps the
most notable example being the "movement science" framework. The various philosophies
often generate considerable debate.
