For this program outcome, in my Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation class, we were required to make an home exercise program for each stage of healing of a specific diagnosis of our choice. I chose to do a rotator cuff tear with surgery. There are educational topics for each stage of healing as well as exercises. By using our clinical judgement, we are delivering physical therapy interventions and progress, adjust, monitor interventions in the POC in response to patient status and clinical indications.
