Method and system for using a database containing rehabilitation plans indexed across multiple dimensions
First Claim
1. A method for selecting a rehabilitation plan for an individual having a medical condition using a rehabilitation plan database, wherein the database includes, for respective physical dimensions and personal environment dimensions associated with the medical condition, profile information and scores corresponding to respective rehabilitation plans, the method comprising:
- querying the database to identify a plurality of rehabilitation plans corresponding to at least a first of the physical dimensions and personal environment dimensions and having profile information and a score matching individual profile information and an individual score, wherein the individual profile information and the individual score are representative of measurement information obtained from an assessment of the at least first dimension of an individual having the medical condition, wherein the scores in the database are generated in view of diagnostic metrics defined from measurement information obtained from assessment of respective physical dimensions and personal environment dimensions, wherein the querying includes selecting a range of scores as constituting a match for the individual score; and
supplying rehabilitation plan information corresponding the identified rehabilitation plans.

Abstract
A searchable database contains rehabilitation plans for individuals having the same medical condition. The rehabilitation plans are indexed by scores corresponding to physical dimensions and personal environment dimensions characteristics of the respective individuals having the same medical condition and also by scores representative of actual success results associated with prescribing the respective rehabilitation plans. The database can be queried to identify rehabilitation plans for a dimension whose assessment information matches individual assessment information for the same dimension of an individual requiring rehabilitation for the same medical condition. In addition, the actual success scores can be used to identify rehabilitation plans in the database likely to be successful when prescribed to an individual. The individual assessment information and the identified rehabilitation plan prescribed to the individual, and also feedback obtained from the individual to which an identified plan is prescribed and also success results for the prescribed plan, can be used to update the database.
