We have released 'RehaCalc', a collection of clinical calculation tools that can also be used for home exercise guidance
In the Home Exercise Encyclopedia, we organize exercise materials so that rehabilitation staff, family caregivers, and exercise instructors can easily find resources to print out.
On the other hand, in actual clinical settings, there are many small checks to perform before and after handing over an exercise menu. How should you interpret the results of a TUG or 10m walk test? How do you score the HDS-R or Barthel Index? What should you do when you need to quickly check age or BMI?
As a site that consolidates such clinical calculations, scoring, and recording tasks so they can be used immediately from a smartphone or PC, we have released RehaCalc.
It is a tool that is easy to use in conjunction with the Home Exercise Encyclopedia.
The Home Exercise Encyclopedia is a place to find exercise materials. For example, you can choose home exercises according to your goals, such as 'fall prevention,' 'lower back pain prevention,' or 'exercises you can do while seated.'
RehaCalc is a tool to make the evaluations and records that occur before and after those exercises a little easier. We have compiled calculation and measurement tools that are easy to use for exercise guidance and rehabilitation evaluation, such as walking speed, TUG, 6-minute walk test, 5-times sit-to-stand, CS-30, and one-leg standing.
When thinking about an exercise menu, look for materials in the Home Exercise Encyclopedia. When summarizing evaluations and records, check the values with RehaCalc. We have designed it so that you can use them in combination.
You can also score evaluation scales such as the HDS-R and MMSE.
In RehaCalc, we are gradually increasing the number of examination and evaluation scales, such as HDS-R, MMSE, BBS, Barthel Index, GDS-15, ROM, MMT, SPPB, GCS/JCS, SARC-F, FAB, Locomo Grade Test, NIHSS, and VAS.
The scoring tools are designed so that you can proceed by tapping one item at a time. The total score and judgment are calculated automatically, and you can print them as an A4 record sheet if necessary.
You can summarize multiple evaluations with the record set.
In clinical practice, it is common to look at a combination of multiple evaluations rather than just one test.
RehaCalc has a 'Record Set' feature. You can select the necessary tests for each individual, and summarize the results for printing or saving as a PNG. We envision it being used for purposes such as pasting into paper charts, saving as PDFs, or reviewing before a conference.
You can also check measurement results such as TUG on the spot.
TUG, 10m walk test, 6-minute walk test, 5-times sit-to-stand, CS-30, and one-leg standing are frequently used in rehabilitation and nursing care prevention settings.
By entering the measured values, you can check the reference ranges and related cutoff values on the spot. We have made it possible to reduce the time spent searching every time or looking for paper materials.
Input data is not sent to the server.
Since this is a tool used in medical and nursing care settings, we are careful about how we handle the information you enter.
In RehaCalc, basic calculations and scoring are completed within the browser. The values you enter are not sent to the server. While there are tools where you can enter names, examiners, or special notes, the design is such that they are reset when you reload the page.
It is built not as a business system for long-term storage of personal information, but as a tool to quickly assist with the calculations, scoring, and record creation needed in the field.
Recommended for the following people:
Those who want to organize walking and balance evaluations along with home exercise guidance.
Those who want to check the results of TUG, 10m walk test, CS-30, etc., on the spot.
Those who want to create record sheets after scoring, such as for the HDS-R or Barthel Index.
Those looking for clinical tools that can be checked quickly on a smartphone, such as for home visits or outpatient care.
Those who want to streamline evaluation and recording tasks in addition to the exercise materials in the Home Exercise Encyclopedia.
Of course, final evaluations and policy decisions are based on the judgment of professionals. Please use RehaCalc as an auxiliary tool to lighten the burden of calculation, scoring, and recording, rather than as a replacement for clinical judgment itself.
