Section: Patient Information
* Name: John Smith
* Date of Birth: 12/03/1960
* Address: 12 Acacia Avenue, Anytown
* Contact Information: 07777 123456
Section: Disability Profile
* Primary disability or diagnosis under NDIS: Cerebral Palsy
* Secondary conditions: Mild scoliosis
* Level of functional impact or support needs: High, requiring assistance with most activities of daily living.
Section: Subjective Update
* Patient’s or carer’s report of current physical function, comfort, confidence, and mobility: John reports increased pain in his left hip, making transfers more difficult. He feels less confident with walking.
* Changes in symptoms including spasticity, fatigue, pain, balance, strength, coordination, endurance: Increased pain in left hip, increased fatigue in the afternoons.
* Feedback from support workers, family, or educators: Carer reports increased difficulty with transfers and reduced walking distance.
* Engagement with home program or therapy tasks since last session: John has been completing his home exercises 3 times per week.
* Barriers to participation or adherence: Pain in left hip is a barrier to completing exercises.
Section: Goals
* Progress toward short-term goals:
* Increase walking distance by 10 meters.
* Reduce pain levels from 6/10 to 4/10.
* Progress toward long-term goals:
* Maintain independence with transfers.
* Improve overall mobility and participation in community activities.
* New or adjusted goals raised during the session:
* Explore strategies to manage hip pain.
Section: Objective
* Functional observations including transfers, bed mobility, walking, stairs, balance, wheelchair use:
* Transfers: Assisted with stand pivot transfer.
* Walking: Able to walk 10 meters with a walking frame.
* Balance: Moderate balance impairment.
* Motor assessment including strength, tone, joint range, coordination, endurance:
* Strength: Reduced strength in lower limbs.
* Tone: Mild spasticity in left leg.
* Joint range: Reduced hip flexion on the left.
* Neurological observations such as reflexes, spasticity, proprioception, gait pattern:
* Gait pattern: Antalgic gait due to hip pain.
* Use of assistive devices such as walker, wheelchair, splints, orthotics:
* Uses a walking frame for mobility.
* Outcome measures used, e.g., 10m Walk Test, TUG, 5xSTS, Berg, GMFM:
* 10m Walk Test: 15 seconds.
* Berg Balance Scale: 35/56.
Section: Treatment Provided
Subsection: Education
* Patient and/or carer education on disability management, positioning, stretching, pacing, etc.: Educated John and his carer on pain management strategies, including pacing and activity modification.
Subsection: Hands-on therapy (if applicable)
* Manual therapy to left hip to reduce pain and improve range of motion.
Subsection: Active therapy / exercises
* Sit-to-stand training, 3 sets of 5 repetitions.
* Balance retraining exercises using a wobble board.
* Gait training with walking frame.
Section: Assessment
* Summary of clinical reasoning and presentation: John presents with increased hip pain and reduced mobility, impacting his functional independence. The pain is likely contributing to reduced participation in his home exercise program.
* Barriers or enablers to progress: Pain is a significant barrier. Motivation and carer support are enablers.
* Therapist opinion on alignment with NDIS goals: The interventions provided are aligned with John's NDIS goals of improving mobility and independence.
Section: Plan
* Plan for next sessions including frequency, focus areas: Continue with 2 sessions per week, focusing on pain management, strengthening, and gait training.
* Updates to home exercise program:
* Increase frequency of hip stretches.
* Incorporate gentle strengthening exercises for hip muscles.
* Monitoring and adjustment of response to therapy: Monitor pain levels and adjust exercises as needed.
* Referral or liaison with other providers: Discuss referral to a pain specialist.
* Documentation required for plan reassessment, assistive tech applications, or housing support requests: No further documentation required at this time.
