Research Recap #12 - Assessing and Treating Psychosocial Factors
Description
In this research recap, I look at psychosocial factors in physical therapy. I discuss the ability of clinicians to accurately assess the factors and how they can design treatment plans to address them.
Applying the evidence to your clinical practice:
- How confident are you in your ability to assess psychosocial factors? Do you use validated questionnaires?
- When do you implement graded activity or graded exposure in a plan of care?
