What is a sign of successful calibration in a patient?

A sign of successful calibration in a patient specifically refers to the integration of therapy into their daily life, which is best reflected in their functional impact and improved movement outside of therapy sessions. When a patient can demonstrate better mobility and function in everyday activities, it illustrates that the interventions and strategies taught during therapy have effectively translated into real-world benefits. This shows that the patient is not only understanding the concepts behind the therapy but is also able to apply them to enhance their quality of life, which is a key objective of treatments like LSVT BIG.

While recalling exercises may indicate awareness and some level of retention, it does not, on its own, demonstrate how those exercises have impacted daily functionality. Completing homework without reminders may show consistency, but it doesn't necessarily translate to improved physical capability. Increased strength in limbs is beneficial, yet it doesn't encompass the broader functional improvements that successful calibration implies. Ultimately, the focus in therapies like LSVT is on enhancing overall function, making improved movement and functional gains the most indicative sign of successful calibration.
