Agree with the notion of going beyond the numerical results of tests and answer
to the "so what" of the data collected. Task analysis and task equivalency is
what we are train to do best in whatever context the patient wants it!

As sister professions, PT and OT are each taught to perform complete
discipline-specific evaluations. Unfortunately, function knows no
discipline. Insurance companies are no longer interested in range of
motion, they want to know how a person functions independent of their
impairments. Therefore, it's imperative that we are all well versed in
the use of the most widely accepted functional assessment measures.
The above information is taken from an advertisement for an upcoming
continuing education course. What do you think?
