Utilization Guidelines
Guidelines should represent reasonable and appropriate treatments for optimum recovery.
1. Generally as time goes by, one should see an increase in the active care (i.e. exercise), a decrease in the passive care (i.e. muscle stimulation ultrasound etc.), and a fading of treatment frequency generally from three times per week to twice per week with overall total treatment times less than the natural history.
2. Recheck examinations after six visits to establish functional and objective progress.
3. Treatment goals document with specific focus on the individual's deficits
4. The exclusive use of "passive care" (e.g., palliative modalities) is not recommended.
5. Home programs should be initiated with the first therapy.
6. Use of self-directed home therapy will facilitate the fading of treatment frequency
