The patient may consult with physical therapy every 3-6 months to assure adherence to exercise and physical activity recommendations, as well as to make appropriate modifications to the program. Similar to medical "check-ups," the patient can participate in rehabilitation "tune-ups." A physical therapy session may include assessment of DASH DISABILITY/SYMPTOM SCORE= [(sum of n responses (/ n) - 1] x 25,where n is the number of completed responses.)

SHIA is a partner to the Disability and Rehabilitation Programme at WHO (WHO/DAR), and as such is very supportive of DAR activities in general, and the present study in particular. Although there have been many previous evaluations of CBR carried out to a very high quality, this study is the first of its kind that is based on the experiences Three stage test: 1) evaluation of general info related to swallowing ability 2) physical exam of oropharyngeal mechanism 3) ability to efficiently, effectively, and safely manage the oral prep phase, oral phase, & pharyngeal phase of the swallow are evaluated. Score (For each stage) Interpretation How to apply the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) for rehabilitation management in clinical practice Abstract Rehabilitation aims to enable people experiencing or likely to experience disability to achieve and maintain optimal functioning. WHODAS 2.0 covers 6 Domains of Functioning, including: Cognition - understanding & communicating. Mobility- moving & getting around. Self-care- hygiene, dressing, eating & staying alone. Getting along- interacting with other people. Life activities- domestic responsibilities, leisure, work & school. Participation- joining in The Functional Capacity Evaluation today quantifies safe functional abilities, and is a pivotal resource for: 1.1 Return-to-work and job-placement decisions 1.2 Disability evaluation 1.3 Determination of how non-work-related illness and injuries impact work performance 1.4 Determination of functioning in non-occupational setting The DASH is a 30-item self-report questionnaire designed to assess musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limbs. It has two, 4-item, optional modules used to measure symptoms and function in athletes, artists, and workers who require a high level of function. Scoring the DASH 30-item disability/symptom section: The Aspirational Model: Disability-Competent Care Disability-competent care is participant-centered, provided by an interdisciplinary team (IDT), and focused on achieving and supporting maximum function. It is intended to maintain health, wellness, and life
