You've heard about outcome measures, so how do you use them? Integrating clinically relevant outcome measures in orthotic management of stroke

My god this should have been standard in all clinics and hospitals forever.

Abstract: Article describes a process for selecting and integrating clinically relevant outcome measures into clinical practice, focusing on orthotic management of stroke, in particular the improvement of mobility as a common goal. In today’s healthcare environment it is increasingly important to be able to quantify the amount of change associated with a given intervention; this can be accomplished using one or more appropriate outcome measures. However, the selection and integration of outcome measures within clinical practice requires careful consideration. This process includes: identification of the measure construct which can be assisted by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF); selection of outcome measures based on need, appropriateness, and feasibility; and careful use in regular clinical practice including data collection, analysis, and re-assessment of the process. The authors: (1) define the domain of mobility using the ICF; (2) describe the process integrating outcome measures into clinical practice; and (3) illustrate how this process may be used in the orthotic management of stroke.
