PhysioMyWayApp app for iPhone and iPad

Exercise compliance is one of the most important parts in patient rehabilitation, and yet it is given minimal consideration. The Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP) detail that the first step in rehabilitating a patient back to their pre-injury function lies with their Physiotherapists ability to educate and motivate their patient through a clear and concise home exercise program.

So whats currently being done? Patients can regularly expect to receive a printed sheet of generic exercises laden with hand-written amendments which look to tailor the exercises to the patients needs. Given that more than 70% of adults in the U.K. own a smartphone, there has never been a better time to take the technological leap and focus of connecting with and engaging patients much more remotely. Thats where Physio My Way comes in.

Physio My Way is an App that has been designed to accurately monitor upper limb range of movement exercises. Movement patterns and screen activity can provide a clear and detailed account of every single repetition that a patient completes. Their Physiotherapist will have secure access to all of their patients data through their own personal log in. Specifically, this means that all exercise progressions or regressions will now be based on objective outcome markers, rather than a patients subjective recollection of their exercise completion. Not only that, but patients will be given the opportunity provide feedback on each exercise session upon completion. This gives superior reliability of patient feedback and is based on key Physiotherapy findings such as severity, intensity and frequency of pain and rate of perceived exertion at every interval.

In the near future, the next phase of exercises to be added include static core and dynamic lower limb range of movement, meaning that you and your patients will have a comprehensive and expanding library at your disposal.
