Individualized Treatment Plan:
Goal Setting: The physiotherapist collaborates with the patient and their caregivers to establish clear rehabilitation goals. These goals may include regaining mobility, improving balance, strengthening muscles, reducing pain, and enhancing independence in daily activities.
Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment findings and the established goals, the physiotherapist creates an individualized treatment plan. This plan outlines the interventions and strategies that will be used to address the patient’s unique need
