Excellent discussions today surrounding the potential impact of a single, unified measure for balance ability in rehabilitation. Exciting work from the lab! Be sure to get in touch if you want more info. @APTAStrokeSIG @ResearchMUSC @MDonaldson_pt @GretchenSeif @kenmpt
PT and PTA's at #aptacsm be sure to stop by our lab's poster (#1197) today from 1-3p. We show that the Functional Balance Ability Measure is valid across neurological populations! @APTAStrokeSIG @ResearchMUSC @APTANeuroPT
