dorsiflexion and ...

[Guest guest]

This is still the report with the " white consults " . I have two questions.

He is able to feed himself; and while lying in bed he is unable to dorsiflex

and " plen-a-flex " except about 3-4/5, but when the patient decides to get

out of bed, he is able to swing his legs over, stand up, support his weight,

and pivot into the chair. "

dorsiflex and ?

the range...she says " three to four out of five " What is the

correct/acceptable way to transcribe a range like that. 3-4/5 makes me

think of a fraction...should you use numbers....3 to 4 out of 5...

any help appreciated!

dorsiflex and plantarflex.

I usually put 3 to 4/5, but I am not held to the AAMT guidelines at my job. I do

not know what their guide would be on that one. I use 4/5 for strength or 4+/5

all the time, and also 2/10 for pain ratios, all dictated as 4 out of 5 or 2 out

of 10.

P.S. I have come across plantarflex as one word in some dictionaries, but in

others it is hyphenated as plantar-flex, so it might be that way in your

spellcheck.
