Physical Rehabilitation Outcome Measures : A Guide to Enhanced Clinical Decision-Making

This user-friendly manual is designed to promote and facilitate efficient use of clinical measures by rehabilitation clinicians to enhance clinical decision-making. This second edition reflects the changes that have occurred in the use of outcome measures among rehabilitation professionals. The measures used to review the description of the process of outcome evaluation have been tailored to the needs of both student and clinician. Specific chapters outline the development of an outcome measurement plan, how to choose the appropriate outcome measure, measurement properties and terms used in the reviews of measures, the application of outcome measures to individual clients, and how outcome data can be used in client programme planning and evaluation. The accompanying CD-ROM includes reviews of over 70 measures with a listing of references for each.
