PHYSIOTHERAPY
ASSESSMENTS
Our preference is to conduct all initial assessments in rooms.
Typically an initial assessment will take between 1.5 – 2hrs.
This assessment will help determine the course of treatment required.
Our physiotherapists will use standardised outcome measures to assess your child’s function, strengths and challenges.
A few of the standardised assessments used in our clinic include:
-
Range of motion, manual muscle testing
-
2D Gait analysis
-
Sensory Dynamic Orthosis (SDO) measurements and fittings
-
Movement ABC Assessment
-
Australian Spasticity Assessment Scale (ASAS) and Modified Ashworth Scale to measure tone
-
Neurological, Sensory, Motor and Developmental Assessment (NSMDA)
-
Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE)
-
Paediatric Balance Scale
-
Hi-Level Mobility Ax Tool (HiMAT)
-
Community Balance and Mobility Scale (CB&M)
