MiCare Health im Vergleich zu SmarTrac Nutzung und Statistiken

SmarTrac is an electronic goniometer that enables practitioners to digitally collect and assess range of motion measurements for physical exercises being done by a patient. Typically these physical exercises are assigned by a practitioner as part of a patient’s home exercise program (HEP). The range of motion measurement information available through SmarTrac practitioners better evaluate effectiveness of the assigned HEP. In addition to tracking the range of motion measurements, SmarTrac also allows a patient to manually enter a “pain level”, which is a subjective score provided by the patient. This pain level information is the personal rating of the degree of pain experienced by the patient while performing the exercises. Similarly, SmarTrac does not itself assess patients’ quality of life improvement scores, instead it simply provides a platform to share their quality of life improvement or lack thereof, from their perspective, with the practitioner. And finally, there is a video library that patients can refer to if they forget how a certain HEP exercise is performed. The video library is simply a resource that helps patients recall how an exercise should be done. To summarize, SmarTrac enables practitioners to monitor various forms of objective and subjective data as patients carry out assigned exercises. Objective data collected by SmarTrac includes the specific exercises performed by the patient and the number of repetitions the patient completed, along with the range of motion achieved during each repetition. Subjective data is only inputted by the patient. Here a patient provides personal feedback on how they personally rate their own pain and how they perceive their quality of life to be at that moment in time. An example regarding quality of life survey would be the DASH report, which is given to patients following shoulder surgery by their practitioner. The DASH survey asks patients to rate their perceived quality of life on matters such as: can they open a jar, can they brush their teeth, can they put on a shirt, etc. The practitioner, by assessing both objective and subjective data points, is better positioned to evaluate effectiveness of the HEP.
