Therapeutic Exercise Log
A detailed record documenting patient exercise performance, responses, and progression throughout rehabilitation treatment.
Full Definition
A comprehensive documentation tool used by rehabilitation professionals to track patient exercise activities, including specific exercises performed, repetitions, resistance levels, patient responses, and any adverse reactions. This log serves as both a clinical record for monitoring progress and a communication tool between healthcare team members. It typically includes baseline measurements, weekly assessments, and modifications made to the exercise program based on patient tolerance and functional improvements.
Usage
Usage note: Distinguish from exercise prescription, which outlines planned activities, while the log documents actual performance and outcomes.
