Your answer to creating a functional vital sign
The DMP is designed for healthcare professionals to identify client’s movement, balance and strength limitations compared to age-related norms.
The DMP uses age-related norms established in the research to produce a “Movement Score”. The test identifies physical movement limitations, weakness and balance deficits. Using the Movement Score gathered in the physical, the provider will be able to design a personalized treatment plan focused on function and proving medical necessity. This plan, combined with lifestyle modifications, has great potential to reduce coronary risk factors and improve lifelong health. Jump start your client’s health in any stage of life and move forward with Dr. Movement’s Physical.Healthcare Professionals: The test should be administered by a licensed physical therapist or health professional with advanced training in exercise prescription and activity progression. Expect the test to take up to 60 mins to administer.
Goal: Upon completion of the DMP the client will receive a movement score. This score will help determine a need for further intervention (medical necessity) and activity prescription. Each client will receive a home activity prescription (HAP) in addition to a clinical recommendation. Armed with this information, the ultimate goal is to use the DMP as an impetus to help clients change lifestyles and improve their physical and physiological health.
