Description: Rehabilitation assessment is a systematic process that identifies the needs and progress of a patient in a rehabilitation program. This approach is based on the SOAP model, which stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan. In the subjective section, the patient’s perceptions and experiences are gathered, including their medical history, symptoms, and concerns. The objective part focuses on measurable data, such as physical test results, clinical observations, and any other relevant quantifiable information. The assessment involves analyzing the collected information, identifying areas for improvement, and establishing diagnoses. Finally, the plan outlines the interventions and strategies that will be implemented to address the patient’s needs, as well as short- and long-term goals. This structured approach not only facilitates communication among healthcare professionals but also ensures that treatment is personalized and tailored to the individual circumstances of the patient. Rehabilitation assessment is essential for monitoring progress, adjusting treatment plans, and ensuring that recovery goals are effectively achieved.
