The measurement problem in physical therapy: Part 2
from Clinical PT Talks Hosted by Dr. Mark White, PT, DPT, BA, OCS
A measurement problem exists in the world of physical therapy. In some ways it is subtle, almost unrecognizable, yet pervasive. In others ways, it is clearly structural and perpetuated by systems that diminish or misunderstand its value. Both are harmful to our profession, and to patients. Join me in the second of this 2-part podcast series as I explore what the problem is, how we got here, and what we should do about it. REFERENCES Kristal A, Gaunaurd IA, Morgan SJ, et al.
