| | APA Outcome Measures |
| |
In February the Victorian APA released a discussion paper to help clarify the use of Outcome Measures (OM) as part of the proper clinical justification for physiotherapy.
The key principles include:
- OM enables the treating physiotherapist to progressively evaluate physiotherapy treatment Outcomes.
- The therapist should be responsible for selecting valid reliable and sensitive OM relevant to a clients individual clinical needs and functional treatment goals.
- OM should be used by the treating physiotherapist to :
- Evaluate and document demonstrable benefits of physiotherapy.
- Identify, document and act on factors that may comprise treatment Outcomes or predict poor OM.

In March we sponsored the Essendon Rowing Club annual regatta.? The club has been running an annual event since 1880 on the banks of the Maribyrnong.
