Does your patient exam include a one-leg standing evaluation?
A recent study found the ability to stand on one leg for at least 10 seconds was strongly linked to the risk of death over the next 7 years.
According to the study findings, the participants (middle aged and older) who could not perform the 10-second standing test were nearly four times more likely to die in the coming years from heart attacks, strokes, cancer, and more than those who could perform the task.
It is important to note the ability to perform the 10-second one-leg stand test diminished with age.
By adding this test to your exam & evaluation could be a good marker for your patient’s overall health and functional abilities as well as a marker for functional change as a result of your chiropractic care.
Remember, exams and re-exams must be documented as separate and distinct from the pre and post evaluation associated with chiropractic.
