Outcome Data
This Outcome Chart is a compilation of information relating to a set of predetermined patient/clinician goals established at the onset of care and based on the average number of treatments using Graston Technique®.
The Success Rate is based on attainment of an overall outcome, rated from good to complete, against those predetermined goals. The primary means of evaluating the success rate is based on decrease in pain and increase in function. Overall effectiveness is related to the common conditions listed below:
