Interventions — Tools and Assessment Methods

Assessments	Methods	Rationale
History of  Biomechanical  Forces	Patient or observer recall of event	To recreate image of forces on the body to determine body structures involved
Pain Level	Visual Analog Scale (VAS)	To assess level of pain by self reporting 10=most severe 0=none
Postural Balance  Pelvic Girdle  Shoulder Girdle	Bilateral specific points and locations noted Pre / Post	To determine musculo-skeletal alignments in appropriate planes
Standing Balance	Balance Error using BESS scoring system	To determine effects on balance with active muscle use
Specific Muscle  Testing	Resistance to specific muscle demands	To determine ROM, weakness or pain
Visual Observations  Cervical  Cranial	Bilateral view on body planes	To determine asymmetries
