Some people may not be able to leave their home safely or are limited in their strength and endurance which makes going to a clinic more difficult. A home visit by a physiotherapist may be beneficial in these cases. Often the goals of a home visit may also be different than when a patient attends a clinic. Some common reasons or goals of a home visit may include;
- Assistance with equipment or mobility aid recommendations
- Home safety evaluation, including a falls risk assessment
- Recommendations for a home exercise program
- Assessment of the best type of transfer for caregivers
