Section V, " Key Implications for Therapeutic Management" will specify the potential role of each member of the interprofessional rehabilitation team, general aspects of the most likely aspects of therapy in rehabilitation to be included in the plan of care, and contraindications/precautions for those interventions. Section IV, " Medical/Surgical Management" will outline the commonly used medical/pharmaceutical interventions, and surgical procedures that may be used to address primary deficits or secondary sequelae such as range-of-motion deficits. This section will also present known prognostic factors, and help to anticipate expected sequelae including secondary body structure impairments and functional limitations. Section III, " Prognosis" will specify if the diagnosis is considered progressive or not, describe trends of progression, which should become second nature to the therapist in helping to determine appropriate short-term and long-term goals. This section will also delineate any diagnosis-specific outcome measures that have been described. This section will assist in anticipating possible underlying impairments and functional activity limitations that are expected with the diagnosis, therefore focusing the examination and providing guidance for the evaluation. Section II, " Diagnostics" will include a summary of symptoms the patient may report, signs that can be observed or measured during the neurologic examination, and diagnostic tests that may be used to confirm the medical diagnosis. For each diagnosis outline, Section I, " Etiology" will summarize known etiologic factors, risk factors, and pathogenesis of the disorder to understand the basis of each disorder. Vestibular Hypofunction (Unilateral or Bilateral) (A)Įach outline follows a consistent organization to serve as a resource to help you in making decisions about the examination methods you will chose, the expected degree of recovery, and the patient-centered interventions.
