In Process 2 Evaluation, decisions to continue or modify an intervention are based on what?

• A. Findings from initial assessment
• B. Evaluation of outcomes
• C. Time since onset
• D. Clinician experience

Answer: (B)

During Process 2, decisions to continue or modify an intervention hinge on evaluation of outcomes. You continuously measure how the patient responds to the treatment plan using objective data (like strength, range of motion, function, gait speed) and patient-reported outcomes (pain, pain interference, ability to perform daily tasks). If these outcomes show meaningful progress toward the goals, the current approach is continued. If progress stalls, plateaus, or worsens, you adjust the plan or change the intervention to better address the impairments and goals. This outcome-focused review distinguishes it from the initial assessment, which establishes a baseline, and from relying on clinician experience alone, which doesn’t by itself determine whether the treatment is working without outcome data.
