    This study introduces an interdisciplinary functional assessment method using the Patient Evaluation Conference System (PECS) to guide rehabilitation treatment and measure effectiveness. The PECS scale effectively tracks patient progress and independence levels, demonstrating its utility in rehabilitation outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Functional Assessment
    • Healthcare Systems

    Background:

    • The need for standardized functional assessment in medical rehabilitation.
    • Limitations of existing methods in tracking progress and effectiveness.
    • The application of interdisciplinary approaches in patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present an interdisciplinary functional assessment method using the Patient Evaluation Conference System (PECS).
    • To demonstrate the utility of PECS in guiding treatment and assessing rehabilitation program effectiveness.
    • To analyze rehabilitation outcomes based on a defined functional scale.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing the Patient Evaluation Conference System (PECS) for functional assessment.
    • Employing an 8-point scale (0-7) to evaluate functional performance progress.

  • Categorizing outcomes into dependent (≤4) and independent (≥5) function levels.

    • Main Results:

    • Data demonstrating the level of functional gain achieved by patients.
    • Evidence of goal-setting effectiveness within the rehabilitation program.
    • Quantification of the degree of independent function achieved post-intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented PECS-based method provides a structured approach to functional assessment in rehabilitation.
    • The 8-point scale effectively differentiates between dependent and independent functional levels.
    • The system aids in evaluating treatment efficacy and patient progress in medical rehabilitation settings.
