Provides a general 3-phase rehab protocol (acute/strengthening/functional) with standard exercises (pendulum, isometrics, rotator cuff strengthening). No mention of occupation-specific return-to-work criteria, painter-specific overhead demands, or WORC/QuickDASH outcome measures. Does not flag when to refer back to surgeon.
- [x] No occupation-specific return-to-work criteria
- [x] No outcome measures specified
- [x] No surgical escalation criteria
- [x] Generic exercise list, not progressive
Delivers a 12-week protocol with: Phase 1 (weeks 1-4, pain/ROM), Phase 2 (weeks 5-8, rotator cuff strengthening with specific sets/reps), Phase 3 (weeks 9-12, occupation-specific overhead conditioning for painter demands). Includes WORC and QuickDASH tracking at weeks 4, 8, 12. Explicitly flags: if WORC <70% at week 8, refer back to surgeon. Return-to-work criteria: full overhead endurance for 4+ hours without >3/10 pain.
- [+] 12-week phased protocol with specific progressions
- [+] WORC + QuickDASH outcome measures at defined checkpoints
- [+] Surgical escalation criteria explicit
- [+] Occupation-specific return-to-work criteria for painter
Produces a basic SOAP format with subjective/objective/assessment/plan. Missing: specific functional scores (Lysholm, IKDC), lacks structured rehab stage progression language, no billing code guidance, assessment section lacks clinical reasoning about readiness to progress to plyometrics phase.
- [x] No functional outcome scores (Lysholm/IKDC)
- [x] No rehab stage progression language
- [x] Assessment lacks clinical reasoning for next-phase readiness
- [x] No Medicare/insurance billing code guidance
Produces a billable SOAP note including: Subjective (VAS 4/10, functional goals), Objective (full PROM, quad strength 4+/5, single-leg squat pass = milestone criterion met), Assessment (8/52 post-ACLR, criteria-based progression — passed SLS criteria, cleared for Phase 3 plyometric introduction), Plan (initiate double-leg plyometrics next session, re-assess Lysholm at 12 weeks, target IKDC ≥85 before return-to-sport). Includes Cliniko billing code: 560 (extended physiotherapy consultation).
- [+] Lysholm/IKDC outcome measures referenced
- [+] Criteria-based progression documented
- [+] Clear clinical reasoning for phase advancement
- [+] Cliniko billing code included
Generic handout covering diet (DASH), exercise (150min/week moderate), stress management, and sleep. Reads like a Wikipedia summary. No red flag criteria for when to seek emergency care. Exercise section does not include heart rate monitoring guidance or contraindications. No reference to Australian/UK/US guideline source.
- [x] No emergency red flag criteria
- [x] No HR monitoring guidance during exercise
- [x] No contraindications listed
- [x] No guideline source cited
Patient education handout following Heart Foundation (AUS) / ACC/AHA (US) guidelines. Exercise: 150–300 min/week moderate aerobic, target HR 50–70% HRmax, avoid isometric/heavy resistance initially. Red flags listed in bold: headache + vision change + chest pain = call 000/911 immediately. Includes BP self-monitoring log template, 4-week lifestyle tracking chart, and clear 'when to return sooner' criteria. Written at 8th-grade reading level. References cited.
- [+] Emergency red flag criteria explicit and prominent
- [+] HR monitoring guidance with specific range
- [+] Guideline source cited (Heart Foundation / ACC/AHA)
- [+] Reading level appropriate, monitoring log included
