Outcome Measurement
Outcomes research focuses on production of quality evidence to optimize methods for evaluating effectiveness of physical therapy interventions.
Socially just, inclusive, and meaningful measurement strategies are necessary for quantifying the effect and impact of physical therapy interventions. The Physical Therapy (PT) Outcome Measures (OM) Research Theme is a collaborative group that focuses on shared learning and production of quality, inclusive, and socially just research to optimize methods for evaluating effectiveness of physical therapy interventions.
