In this page patients' history for physical status can be done. This will help in diagnosis and
treatment of patients which include long and short term goals, proposals for further action etc.
These all details can be recorded electronically in pdf or jpg format or can be printed out.
Provide your primary care and give him or her a better understanding of patient health. It allows
your medical practitioner to identify patterns and make more effective decisions based on your
specific health needs.
This allows your practitioner to assess your risk for certain diseases or conditions.
It can also help prevent the onset of certain health problems. For example, if you have a family
history of diabetes, your doctor will know to look closely for prediabetes. Or, your practitioner
may order tests or screenings if you have a higher risk for a certain type of chronic
complications.
Your practitioner will work with you to establish a plan to stay healthy and decrease your risk or
prevent certain diseases.
Document your medical history and share this information with your practitioner.

1. Always date and sign your notes, whether written or on the computer. Don’t change
them. If you realize later that they are factually inaccurate, add an amendment.
2. Appropriate record-keeping is recognised as an important component of professional
standards If any alteration is done clearly give your name and date. .
1. Give in detail all decisions made, any discussions, information given, relevant history,
clinical findings, patient progress, investigations, results, and referrals.
2. Medical records can contain a wide range of equipment used and correspondence
material.
3. Do not write such comments – eg, racist, sexist or ageist remarks. except relevant to the
health record.
4. Remember patients have a right to access their own medical records
5. Good record-keeping helps to maintain best practice, aiding clear communication
between professionals, and demonstrates that best practice has been followed.
Short nursing care feedback
This page help how to access database
Provides an overview of the more commonly the signs and symptoms and corresponding
diagnostic findings.
Nursing
Establishes a general ranking of needs and concerns on which the Nursing Diagnoses are
ordered in constructing the plan of care which can be altered according to the individual client
situation.
Goal to Discharge
Identifies short-term and intermediate goals to be achieved by the client before being
“discharged” from nursing care. They may also provide guidance for creating long-term goals for
the client to work on after discharge.
Nursing Diagnosis
The general need or problem (diagnosis) is stated without the distinct cause and signs and
symptoms, which would be added to create a client diagnostic statement when specific client
information is available. For example, when a client displays increased tension, apprehension,
quivering voice, and focus on self, the nursing diagnosis of Anxiety might be stated: severe
Anxiety related to unconscious conflict, threat to self-concept as evidenced by statements of
increased tension, apprehension; observations of quivering voice, focus on self.
In addition, diagnoses identified within these guides for planning care as actual or risk can be
changed or deleted and new diagnoses added, depending entirely on the specific client
information.
Possible evidence
These lists provide the usual or common reasons (etiology) why a particular need or problem
may occur with probable signs and symptoms, which would be used to create the “related to”
and “evidenced by” portions of the client diagnostic statement when the specific situation is
known.
When a risk diagnosis has been identified, signs and symptoms have not yet developed and
therefore are not included in the nursing diagnosis statement. However, interventions are
provided to prevent progression to an actual problem. The excep- tion to this occurs in the
nursing diagnosis risk for Violence, which has possible indicators that reflect the client’s risk
status.
Nursing Interventions
Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) labels are drawn from a standardized nursing
language and serve as a general header for the nursing actions that follow.
Division of Nursing actions are independent—those actions that the nurse performs
autonomously; and collaborative— those actions that the nurse performs in conjunction with
others, such as implementing physician orders. The interventions in this book are generally
ranked from most to least common. When creating the individual plan of care, interventions
would nor- mally be ranked to reflect the client’s specific needs and situation. In addition, the
division of independent and collaborative is arbitrary and is actually dependent on the individual
nurse’s capabilities and hospital and community standards.
This abbreviated plan of care or care map is event- or task-oriented and provides
outcome-based guidelines for goal achieve- ment within a designated length of stay. Several
samples have been included to demonstrate alternative planning formats.

Muscle stiffness treatments are dependent upon the cause. Muscle stiffness due to overuse of
skeletal muscle will eventually disappear or common home treatment will help. Relief from
stiffness
1. Resting the muscles, or applying ice packs and heating pads, stretching, or light massaging
the muscle.
What are the most important facts to know about muscle stiffness?
1.Tight feeling in the muscles associated with pain and difficulty moving.

UP GRADATION OF PHYSIOTHERAPY
Once pt. Is being admitted in the hospital it means his physical condition deteriorated day by
day. So every pat. Before discharge from the hospital must have physiotherapy advice including
home exercise prong. Once pat. Is being referred in Physiotherapy department he must be
evaluated documented properly purely in professional manner than treated, progress, follow up
and record must be maintained.
Physiotherapy does not mean simply exercises and operation of machine that can be done by
Physiotherapy assistant, they are especially trained in various exercises and operation of
machines, they must work under supervision of qualified Physiotherapist trained in various
specialty.
Qualified Physiotherapist means to advice, explain patient problem, disability to discuss physical
complication related to patients medical hindrance, to evaluate patient physical disability to
monitor progress.

Nutrition
Your nutritional needs will vary depending upon your health and fitness goals. If your aim is to
lose body fat and body weight, you need to become familiar with the variables that affect weight
loss and body fat loss. Above all, you should realize that it's more important to lose body fat
than to lose overall body weight. Losing body fat reduces your risk for coronary artery disease,
while losing overall body weight doesn't necessarily reduce this risk. In other words, you
shouldn't just cut your calorie intake. Instead you should reduce your intake of fatty foods and
increase your physical activity level.
Essential Nutrients
There are six essential nutrients that you need on a daily basis :
Water
Vitamins
Minerals
Carbohydrates
Fats
Proteins
Water
Water is the most essential nutrient the body needs. Forty to sixty percent of your body weight is
water. Muscle composition is approximately 70% water. When you exercise, your body loses
water through perspiration (dehydration). It is important that you continuously drink water while
you are exercising and throughout the day. Eight to ten glasses (8 fluid ounces) of water are
recommended throughout the day for the average person. Your individual level of water intake
relates specifically to your body weight, height and activity levels. Consult a registered dietician
for specific details about your own personal consumption.
Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamins and minerals are essential to your daily diet and are found in the natural foods that we
consume in our daily diet (fruits, vegetables, meats and whole grains).
Vitamins are organic compounds (natural and contain carbon) which provide energy to the body
and are needed in small amounts to assist with chemical reaction within the cells. Vitamins
come in two forms; fat soluble and water soluble. -Fat Soluble Vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are
stored in the adipose tissue (fat tissue) and can build up high levels of toxins in the body if they
are not utilized. -Water Soluble Vitamins (B, C) are excreted if your daily amount of intake is too
great and can be toxic in the body if they are not utilized.
Minerals are inorganic substances (unnatural and manmade) and they regulate processes
within the body. Minerals are incorporated into different structures within the body to create
enzymes, hormones, skeletal bones, skeletal tissues, teeth and fluids. Calcium and phosphorus
are the two most common minerals found in the body. Some of the other prevalent minerals
found in the body are; iron, zinc, sodium, potassium, magnesium, fluoride, sulfur, copper, and
chloride.
If mineral levels are overabundant in the body, such as sodium, they may facilitate negative
effects in the body. High sodium levels may elevate blood pressure. If mineral levels are
inadequate in the body, such as iron, they may facilitate negative effects in the body. Low iron
levels in women can produce anemia (a deficiency in blood iron levels). Anemia can restrict
oxygen and carbon dioxide removal from the cells. Low calcium levels can facilitate irregular
muscle contractions, bone density loss, blood clotting and improper brain functioning.
For further in-depth information about vitamins and minerals, consult a registered dietician or
your physician.
Calories
A calorie, or kilocalorie (Kcal), is a measure of heat energy. Food calories are nutrients and
supply energy to the body. It is essential that you take in the recommended amount of calories
per day. The calorie intake level that’s appropriate for you depends on a number of factors,
including your height, weight, and gender. If you want to determine a specific figure that is,
approximately how many calories you should consume in a day again, consult a registered
dietician. there are three types of calories:
● Carbohydrates
● Fats
● Protein
The American Heart Association and RDA recommends a daily total food diet that consists of
the following caloric breakdown:
● 50% Carbohydrate
● 30% Fat
● 20% Protein
For individuals who are exercising on a consistent basis, it is recommend that a daily total food
diet consist of the following caloric breakdown:
● 65% Carbohydrate
● 10% Fat
● 25% protein (1.5 gram per pound of body weight)
This caloric breakdown is based upon a higher carbohydrate storage (glycogen storage) that
enhances muscular strength, muscular endurance, and athletic performance. The higher level of
carbohydrate (65%) supplies a greater level of energy to the muscular system. The lower fat
level (10%) decreases your risk for coronary artery disease. The protein level (25%) is
increased to offset the nitrogen expenditure from the body during intense exercise activity and to
increase the amount acids supplied to the body which strength and muscle hypertrophy
(increase in muscle cell size).
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are converted into sugars. Your level of carbohydrate intake will depend upon
your desired health and fitness goals. Carbohydrates come in two forms:
Simple sugars
Simple sugars are used almost immediately during exercise. Examples of simple sugars are
processed sugar and fruit sugar. Consuming simple sugars alone will not help during endurance
exercise.
Complex Sugars
Complex sugars, also called complex carbohydrates, supply energy to the muscles during
exercise. Muscles store large amounts of glucose or glycogen that supply energy to the muscles
during prolonged exercise. Complex carbohydrates fuel the body during prolonged exercise.
Example of complex sugars is breads, cereals, grains, pasta, rice, fiber, potatoes, Vegetables
and fruits.
Fats
A fat is another term for lipid. High fat intake can lead to obesity, heart disease, heart attacks,
and strokes. The lower your level of fat intake, the lower your risk of developing coronary artery
disease.
However, fat has positive attributes, too. The body must maintain a certain level of body fat to
insulate its inner systems, and to help process vitamins and minerals. Like carbohydrates, fat
also fuels the body during exercise. Your level of fat intake should depend upon your health and
fitness goals.
Examples of foods that are high in fat are cheese, nuts avocados, cooking oils, and ice cream.
It's a good idea to restrict your consumption of these types of foods. There are three types of fat:
Saturated fat
Saturated fat intake is the most detrimental to the body. Saturated fat has the highest number of
fatty acids. It can cause clogged arteries, decreased blood flow transfer, heart attacks, strokes,
and other coronary diseases.
Polyunsaturated Fat
Polyunsaturated fat has fewer fatty acid molecules than saturated fat, and is therefore better for
you than saturated fat. You should have a higher intake of polyunsaturated fat than saturated
fat. Polyunsaturated fat is still detrimental to coronary arteries and increases your risk for
coronary artery disease.
Monounsaturated Fat
Monounsaturated fat has even fewer fatty molecules than polyunsaturated fat, and for this
reason is the best of all three fats. You should have a higher intake of monounsaturated fat than
the other two fats. Monounsaturated fat is still detrimental to coronary arteries
Protein
A protein is composed of amino acids, which help to build muscle mass. The higher your level of
muscle mass, the more efficient your basal metabolic rate. An efficient basal metabolic rate, in
turn, increases fat and calorie expenditure at a resting state. Your level of protein intake
depends upon your desired health and fitness goals; consult with a dietician to determine your
specific protein requirements. Some foods that are high in protein include egg whites, chicken
(white meat), lean beef (red meat), beans, and skim milk.

individual. Trained professionals, such as physical therapists or certified Kinesio taping
practitioners, are skilled in assessing and applying the tape appropriately to achieve the desired
outcomes.
Laser Treatment
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation(Laser). Laser Therapy involves applying
low intensity laser light. It helps in relieving pain .Laser therapy helps in tissue repair and
restores normal function.
Laser therapy is a physiotherapy treatment that uses low level lasers to stimulate tissue and
promote healing. It is also known as cold laser therapy or low level laser therapy (LLLT).
Laser therapy is relatively new, and it is an alternative treatment to some types of pain. Laser
Therapy has been effective for treating several pain conditions
Lasers help eliminate pain, swelling, reduce spasms and increase functionality. Laser therapy
can stimulate all cell types including muscle, ligament, cartilage, nerves, etc., so a number of
conditions can be treated by laser therapy.
● Arthritis pain
● Carpal tunnel syndrome
● Fibromyalgia
● Tendinitis
● Bursitis
● Sprain and strain
Laser therapy is low-intensity laser therapy that stimulates healing while using low levels of
laser therapy. The level of light is quite low as compared to other forms of laser therapy, such as
those used to destroy tumors and coagulate tissue.
During this procedure, the non-thermal photons of light that are emitted from the laser pass
through the skin layers (the dermis, epidermis, and the subcutaneous tissue or tissue fat under
the skin). Different wavelengths and outputs of low-level light are applied directly to a targeted
area. Once the light energy passes through the layers of skin and reaches the target area, The
body tissue then absorbs the light. It initiates a series of events in the cell that result in healing
damaged or injured tissue, promotes regeneration, reduction in pain & inflammation and an
overall reduction in healing time by increasing intra-cellular metabolism
The method of application will depend on the condition of the patient . A treatment head or
probe is usually applied directly to the tissue being treated. The amount of energy that is
exposed to the tissue is controlled by the physiotherapist.
Indications
● Soft tissue and sports injuries such as muscle strains and ligament strains.
● Repetitive stress injuries such as tendinitis, bursitis and carpal tunnel syndrome
● Arthritic conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
● Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD)
Laser therapy can be used for a wide range of conditions and will help reduce pain and
inflammation following injury. The following benefits may include:
It is also a safe alternative to pain medication and can reduce healing time.
Physio Gun
The Physio Gun is a state-of-the-art professional rehabilitation and massage equipment. These
handheld devices deliver targeted relief to muscle tension by providing percussive therapy.
Percussive therapy uses repetitive pressure and vibration to massage soft tissue. The physio
gun has a motor that sends steady pulses through the head of the gun.
Physio Gun functions as therapy for the whole body. It provides optimal relief and relaxation for
muscle tiredness, injuries and other body part issues. It is just a relaxation tool as well as a
recovery tool. It relieves fatigue after exercise.
Physio Gun for patients, fitness enthusiasts and athletes for muscle recovery and to improve
their performance.
Physio Gun helps in improving flexibility and ductility of the soft tissues of the body such as
tendons, ligaments, muscle and fascia by adjusting the vibration frequency.
● Alleviate Muscle Stiffness and Soreness- Occasional muscle pain or soreness after a
workout is normal. This delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is particularly
common among people who exercise for the first time after a long break. But it can
happen to anyone, who are in sports or athletes As per a study, physio guns can help.
The review looked at 39 studies and found that using a massage gun right after a
workout could lessen DOMS.
● Increase Blood Circulation- Massage guns apply a combination of percussion and
vibration. Two pilot studies found that whole-body vibration therapy can enhance blood
flow. However, experts –– including athletic trainers and physical therapists –– believe
physio guns can help boost blood flow, reduce muscle pain, and support post-workout
recovery.
● Muscle Recovery- A study found that massage and vibration therapy are equally
effective in limiting post workout muscle soreness. The researchers found that both
methods may also aid recovery after a workout.
● Improve Range of Motion of joints (flexibility)- Research suggests that massage
therapy may enhance flexibility, which could improve athletic performance.
● Manages Scar Tissues-Research shows that professional massage therapy may limit
pain and thickness in burn scars and prevent contracture. Percussive therapy might
also help with scar tissue because it uses some of the same mechanics as massage
therapy.
● Improve the overall health of the body's soft tissues.
Moreover, it can prevent fasciitis (inflammation of fascia) which is a painful condition and difficult
to heal. Inflammation is caused by adhesion between the fascia and muscles. The percussion
technology in the physio gun can help relax and relieve pains on feet, calf, shoulders, neck,
back, muscle, arms, and legs.
The physical therapist can choose between different vibration speeds to find the best fit for the
muscle group.
Physio Gun provide a variety of relief – suitable for a specific muscle group.
● Muscle fatigue
● Muscle contractures
● Affixed scars
● Spasticity
● Skeletal muscle pathologies
● Fasciitis
● Localised hyperthermia
● Pain alleviation
● Improves range of motion and flexibility
● Increase muscle oxygenation
● Promotes elimination of lactic acid
● Relieves muscle and fascial tension
Physio Gun is one of the best recovery tools but takes precautions to avoid injuries.
Shock wave therapy
Shock wave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive
treatment modality used in physical therapy for various musculoskeletal conditions. It involves the
application of high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area to promote healing and pain relief.
Here are some key aspects of shock wave therapy in physical therapy:
Mechanism of Action:
Shock wave therapy delivers acoustic waves to the target tissue. These waves create a mechanical
force that promotes cellular activity, neovascularization (formation of new blood vessels), and tissue
regeneration. It is believed to stimulate the body's natural healing processes.
Pain Relief:
Shock wave therapy can help alleviate pain by reducing inflammation, desensitizing pain receptors,
and promoting tissue healing. It may provide both immediate pain relief and long-term pain reduction
for chronic conditions.
Shock wave Therapy uses for chronic pain or degenerative conditions such as Adhesive capsulitis
(Frozen shoulder), Periarthritis, Plantar fasciitis (heel pain). We are the only clinical setup in
Gurugram to boast of such a facility in our premises.

Myofascial treatment
Myofascial release is a type of physical therapy used to treat myofascial pain syndrome. Fascia
is a layer of protective covering over muscles. Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain
disorder due to sensitivity and tightness in the myofascial tissues. These tissues support and
surround the muscles throughout the body. The pain usually originates from trigger points.
Myofascial release (MFR) therapy focuses on releasing the shortened and tightened muscle.
Prolonged headaches may also find relaxation from myofascial release. Mildly massaging on
stiff muscles in and around the neck and head may subside headaches.
Chronic Venous Disease (CVD), which occurs when blood accumulates in the deep veins of the
leg, may also be well suited for myofascial release. During CVD, the blood pool stretches and
gradually damages the veins in the legs. The person may experience a painful sensation in the
affected leg. MFR might be used in combination with other treatments to reduce the
accumulation and pain caused by CVD.
The areas where the physical therapist works may not be near where the pain originates or
where one feels the pain most prominently. MFR works on the wider network of muscles that
might be causing the pain. It helps to reduce tension and stiffness throughout the body by
releasing trigger points across a wide section of the muscular system.
There are two types of Myofascial Release Techniques: Direct and Indirect
* Foam Rolling
* Muscle roller
* Thumb presser
* Physio Gun
