Physical Therapy Outcome Measures (PTOM)

Physical Therapy Outcome Measures (PTOM) are standardized tools used by physical therapists to assess a patient's progress and the effectiveness of treatment. These measures can include questionnaires, physical tests, or specific assessments that evaluate a person's strength, range of motion, balance, and overall function. By comparing results over time, therapists can determine improvements or changes in a patient's condition, guiding treatment decisions and ensuring tailored care. PTOM ensures that therapy goals are met and helps in communicating progress to both the patient and healthcare providers.
