COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING PHYSICAL THERAPY METHODS
First Claim
1. A computer system for providing information relating to the delivery of physical therapy services the computer system comprising:
- (a) at least one data store assembled in electronic readable format comprising;
a plurality of stored pain patterns relating to a musculoskeletal or neuro-musculoskeletal impairment of a patient;
a plurality of physical therapy examination methods to examine the musculoskeletal or neuro-musculoskeletal impairment; and
a plurality of physical therapy intervention methods to treat the musculoskeletal or neuro-musculoskeletal impairment;
(b) a data processing element, operably coupled to the at least one data store, and configured to select a stored pain pattern based on an input pain pattern and then select at least one of at least one physical therapy examination method and at least one physical therapy intervention method based on the selected stored pain pattern;
(c) a user input module, operably coupled to the data processing element, operable to receive user input data comprising the input pain pattern; and
(d) a user output module, operably coupled to the data processing element, operable to provide output data to an output device comprising the selected physical therapy examination method and the selected physical therapy intervention method.
