Tools used by physical therapists - measure Physical therapists use a variety of measurement tools in evaluating a client / patient. The results of these measurements and tests will be used as baseline data for the evaluation and future evaluation. In addition, it is an important tool to help determine if a treatment plan should be advanced or modified.
This common measure or diagnostic tools commonly used by physical therapists in the evaluation of a client.
BP (blood pressure) device
A BP unit, or some call a BP application, is an instrument used to measure blood pressure, is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of blood vessels (usually the wall of the artery). This instrument is often used with a stethoscope, especially when using the BP unit manual. New digital BP applications, however, were designed for use without a stethoscope.
Stethoscope
stethoscope is an instrument used by professionals health to help them listen to sounds within the body. Besides being used in taking your blood pressure, a stethoscope is used to listen to sounds breaths or sounds in your lungs and heart sounds. Your heart rate may also be taken into account by using this device.
Clinical Thermometer
Used to take the body temperature. Mercurial type thermometers were most common at the time. However, there is a risk of breaking the thermometer, especially when vigorously swing the camera to reset. Mercury in this type of thermometer is toxic.
It may be common to see, nowadays, electronic or digital thermometers much safer. Taking the temperature of the body with these devices can be easier and faster. However, the regular recalibration may be required for accuracy. Yet digital thermometers are readily available for home or hospital use.
physiotherapy tape measure
a tape measure is used to measure the circumference or the circumference of a limb or the trunk. A suitable marker for skin marking is often used with a tape measure. standard anatomical references, generally using bone marks or joint lines as reference points, are often used to measure the straps.
The tape measure is used to measure differences in limb length (eg leg-length difference). Again, standard anatomical reference points are needed to measure limb length.
The strip can be made of plastic, fabric or metal. A disadvantage of the use of a tape measure in plastic or cloth is that it can stretch over time, which can affect the measurement reliability.
reflex hammer
A reflex hammer, also called rubber hammer or neuro -marteau, is used to test the tendon reflexes, and sometimes the nervous system. The types of reflex hammers include
The most common among these is probably the Taylor hammers hammer, well, it was most common during my time in clinical internship and I always used during my clinical practice.
Physical Therapy Goniometer
a goniometer is an instrument commonly used by physiotherapists to measure range of motion (ROM). Several types of finders are available to measure different types of joints. It can be made of plastic or metal, some of which may have characteristics of extensible arms.
For joint neck and back ROM, your therapist may use an inclinometer. For small joints such as those of your fingers, your therapist will use the finger goniometer, which is a smaller version of the goniometer standard
Good training in anatomy, in particular landmarks or anatomical references. patient positioning; and know the normal range of motion are important when making the goniometric measurement in physical therapy.
muscle Manual Testing
manual muscle testing is an evaluation tool often used by physical therapist to analyze the strength of certain muscles or groups of muscles of a person with a certain neuromusculoskeletal condition. Although the most common and least expensive to assess muscular strength is done manually, portable muscle testing devices have also been developed that can help CMM more accurate measurement. An example of such a device is a medical dynamometer.
Muscle testers, especially those digital features, added, such as direct results storage on the device. Some may have a wireless computer via USB connectivity for easy data entry and data analysis.
The tools described above are not a comprehensive list of devices or evaluation tools by physical therapists measure. But it is more likely that your therapist will use during your evaluation of physical therapy and examination.
