PY - 2015 T2 - Examination of Orthopedic & Athletic Injuries, 4e AB - Outcome-measure instruments are used to determine the patient's current functional status, the impact of a condition on the patient's life, and the extent to which an intervention is helping the patient. Initially, outcome measures were primarily employed for research, but their use has expanded so that functional outcome measures and disability questionnaires are completed at regular intervals to document the patient's progress over time. When collectively examined, outcome measures form the basis of data used to determine if an intervention is effective. SN - PB - F. A.
