摘要:A medical condition quantification and dysfunction-reduction therapy evaluation process enables a health care service provider to monitor the improvement of a patient's condition, as well as the efficiency of the rehabilitation process employed to achieve a patient improvement objective. Based upon initial patient examination data, one or more sets of parameters associated with respective body regions, for which dysfunction-reducing therapy is to be carried out, are provided. For each parameter, a data value is generated. The magnitude of the data value is based upon the condition of the body region associated with the parameter. All of the data values of the parameters of a body region are combined, to quantify the overall condition or dysfunction of the body region. Periodically, during the course of the patient therapy program, the physical condition of the body region being treated is re-examined. Based upon each re-examination, the numerical data value of each parameter is updated to reflect the current condition of body region, and the updated values are combined to thereby quantify the current dysfunction of the body region being treated. By graphically recording both the original quantification of the dysfunction and the iteratively updated quantification results of the therapy session, the progress of the patient therapy program in reducing dysfunction of the body region can be readily tracked, so as to enable the health care service provider to monitor whether the therapy is reducing the dysfunction, and how efficiently it is doing so.
