Medico-Legal Services
Our Service Includes:
- Physiotherapy assessment and treatment,
- Return-to-work Rehabilitation Programme,
- Advice to Personal Injury Lawyers and Solicitors wishing to
gain
further medical insight regarding their client's injuries,
- A cost-effective and comprehensive medico-legal reporting
service - Physiotherapists are musculoskeletal experts, and are fully qualified
to produce medico-legal reports within their scope of practice. As
such, they are often better placed than medical doctors or consultants
to provide such reports.
Our reports are produced within one week of seeing the
patient, and include:
- Subjective and objective results of the musculoskeletal
assessment, highlighting any areas of abnormality,
- The extent of functional disability, and the impact that this
may have
on the patient's work and leisure activities,
- A prognosis of the patient's condition, and whether further
progress is expected,
- Whether or not the patient would be appropriate for further
rehabilitation, and
if a better prognosis may be achieved as a result.
