Outcome measures
In order to gather information on the baseline status
and effectiveness of the rehabilitation process, each
patient is evaluated in several ways. Objective
measures for range of movement, strength and
stability, and questionnaires related to an individual’s
experience of pain and health-related quality of life
(if appropriate) are utilized. In addition, soreness
and swelling are evaluated.
The maximal isometric strength of knee and hip can
be evaluated by the HUR Performance Recorder
for the assessment of side-to-side differences
and to document changes in strength after the
intervention.
The Performance Recorder can be directly
connected to all HUR exercise machines equipped
with the isometric testing sensor attachment.
