Spotting Hidden Barriers: Early Signs of Cortical Smudging in therapy | PT Pro Talk Podcast
In this video, we talk about how to spot early signs of cortical smudging by paying close attention to your patient's history and progress. If a patient isn’t improving after a couple of weeks or seems to be doing the exercises without real change, it might be a sign that something deeper is going on. We also share tips on how to tell if a patient is really following their home program and what to do if they’re not. This is a helpful guide for physical therapists who want to better understand patient behavior and make sure treatment is on the right track.
