The 'how-to' videos are available at www.Physical-Therapy-Videos.com under the link 'Physical Therapy Diagnosis'.
This template is used for data collection.
The physical therapist puts the data into the plan of care and links the measured impairments to the measured functional limitations (using the OPTIMAL).
The data are impairments in ROM and strength that support the Medical Necessity for Physical Therapy.
