Measuring Outcomes Flashcards
Clinician Based Outcomes
Clinician selects and measures factors that are measurable:
- ROM
- Strength
~ Speed
~ Agility
~ Anaerobic and Aerobic Capacity
~ Power
Patient Based Outcomes
Patient reports on their experiences in the form of questionnaires:
- Pain
- Perceived level of ability to perform functional tasks
Speed Testing
-Compares pre & post injury results
-Important for certain sports and can vary in length
- Examples:
~ 10 yard dash (football)
~ 20-75 yard sprint (track)
Agility Testing
- Hexagon: times completion of 3 revolutions around the hexagon
~ Volleyball, basketball, football - Pro/5-10-5 (lateral suicides): measures time to complete
- T-Test (backward & lateral shuffle): measures time to complete course
Anaerobic Capacity
“Without oxygen” to muscles: exercise that breaks down glucose for energy
- High intensity and short bursts
- 300 yard shuffle
~ Suicides
- 45 Second Run Test
~ Measures distance in 45 seconds
~ The further the distance ran, the
better the anaerobic capacity
Aerobic Capacity
VO2 Max: maximum rate of oxygen consumption attainable during physical exertion (longer distances)
- Beep Test
~ Records number of 20m shuffles
completed
- 12 minute Run Test/Cooper Test
~ Measures distance covered and
allows VO2 Max to be calculated and
compared
Power
- Vertical Jump
- Standing Long Jump
- Over back medicine ball throw
~ Core, legs, & arms - Seated medicine ball throw
~ Core & arms
Patient Based Outcomes Questionnaires
- Yield a score that can be compared to later scores
- Good at answering how a patient’s condition/injury affects their life
~ Foot & Ankle Disability Index (FADI)
> Large number is good: 0-100
~ American Shoulder & Elbow Surgeons
Score (ASES)
> Large number is good: 0-100
~ Owestry Disability Index (ODI)
> Small number is good: 0-50
When is it appropriate to discontinue treatment or discharge?
- When goals have been met
- When no further progress can be made/expected
