Presented by Carole B. Lewis
Nonfinancial: Carole B. Lewis is the President of Great Seminars Online.
This course is Part 3 in a five-part series on documentation with a focus on reporting skill and progress and how you can get the best out of your documentation. This course documents how to show skill as a therapist with low-level patients. One low-level patient goes through an initial evaluation and performs different balance, muscle strength, and endurance tests with modifications for her specific needs. Her scores are reviewed, and recommendations are provided to improve areas of weakness, with the goal to improve the patient's confidence.
This is course 3 in a series of five. Below are all the courses in the series.
