What is a Physiotherapy Assessment under the NDIS?
A physiotherapy assessment is a comprehensive evaluation conducted by a qualified physiotherapist to assess an individual's physical abilities, functional limitations, and mobility requirements. This assessment is particularly important for NDIS participants who require support in improving or maintaining their physical well-being.
Why is a Physiotherapy Assessment important?
A physiotherapy assessment helps to determine the specific needs, goals, and priorities of an individual. It assists in developing a tailored plan to address their physical challenges, promote independence, and enhance overall quality of life. The assessment provides valuable information that enables physiotherapists to create a personalized treatment plan, recommend appropriate equipment or aids, and establish realistic therapy goals.
What happens during a Physiotherapy Assessment?
During a physiotherapy assessment, the physiotherapist will conduct a thorough evaluation that typically includes the following:
Medical history: The physiotherapist will gather information about your medical condition, any previous injuries, surgeries, or ongoing medical treatments. It is essential to provide accurate and detailed information to ensure the assessment is comprehensive and tailored to your specific needs.
Physical examination: The physiotherapist will perform a physical examination to assess your strength, range of motion, balance, coordination, posture, and any areas of pain or discomfort. They may also evaluate your gait pattern and mobility to identify areas that require intervention or support.
Functional assessment: This part of the assessment involves evaluating your ability to perform specific activities of daily living (ADLs) or functional tasks relevant to your goals. It may include assessing your ability to walk, climb stairs, transfer from one surface to another, or complete other activities relevant to your daily life.
Goal-setting: Based on the information gathered, the physiotherapist will work collaboratively with you to establish realistic and achievable goals. These goals may focus on increasing strength and mobility, reducing pain, improving balance, or enhancing overall functional abilities.
Treatment plan: Once the assessment is complete, the physiotherapist will develop a personalized treatment plan that outlines the recommended interventions, exercises, strategies, or assistive devices required to meet your goals. This plan will consider your preferences, resources, and NDIS funding guidelines.
How can the NDIS fund Physiotherapy Assessments?
The NDIS recognizes the importance of physiotherapy assessments as a crucial component of an individual's plan for improved physical well-being. Funding for physiotherapy assessments and ongoing therapy services may be available under specific support categories, such as Improved Daily Living or Improved Health and Wellbeing.
To access funding, participants need to include physiotherapy assessments and related supports in their NDIS plan. Participants can work with their support coordinator or directly contact the NDIS to discuss their needs and explore available funding options.
