For PTs, OTs, and STs | We have released 'RehaCalc', a tool for instant clinical calculations and assessment scales

The 'RehaCalc' introduced in this article is a collection of clinical calculation and assessment scales that can be used directly on the web. If you would like to see the overall picture first, please click here.
In rehabilitation settings, there are moments when work stops because you think, 'What was that cutoff value again?', 'Did I calculate the age correctly?', or 'I wish I had printed out the form for this test.'
Of course, each of these is a small check. But in settings where time is limited—such as outpatient, inpatient, home health, or day care—those small checks add up, becoming a burden on documentation and explanations.
Therefore, we have released 'RehaCalc' as a collection of clinical calculation tools that rehabilitation professionals like PTs, OTs, and STs can use immediately from their smartphones or PCs.
We have compiled calculation and measurement tools frequently used in clinical practice
RehaCalc includes calculation and measurement tools frequently used in clinical practice, such as BMI, the Karvonen formula, TUG, 10m walk, 6-minute walk, age calculation, 5-times sit-to-stand, CS-30, and one-leg standing.
When you enter numerical values, not only are the calculation results displayed, but comparisons with cutoff values and benchmarks are also shown. We designed it so you can check them on the spot without having to search or open separate tables every time.
You can also score assessment scales like HDS-R and MMSE
We are gradually adding more test and assessment scales, such as HDS-R, MMSE, BBS, Barthel Index, GDS-15, ROM, MMT, SPPB, GCS/JCS, SARC-F, FAB, Locomo Degree Test, NIHSS, and VAS.
Scoring tools are designed so you can proceed by tapping one item at a time. Total scores and judgments are generated automatically, and you can print them as A4 record sheets if needed.
You can print or save as PNG as a record sheet
Assessment results can not only be viewed on the screen but also printed as record sheets. We aimed for a format that is easy to use when you want to attach them to paper charts or facility records, or when you want to save them as PDFs.
We also provide a 'Record Set' feature for situations where you want to summarize multiple test results. You can save the necessary tests for each individual and print or save them as PNGs all at once.
Input data is not sent to the server
Since this is a tool used in medical and nursing care settings, we are very careful about how input information is handled.
In RehaCalc, basic calculations and scoring are completed within the browser. Input values are not sent to the server. While some tools allow you to enter names, examiners, or special notes, the design resets these when the page is reloaded.
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.
Here is how you can use it in the field
For outpatient rehabilitation assessments: Determine TUG or 10m walk results on the spot and explain them along with benchmarks
For inpatient/convalescent records: Score HDS-R, BI, BBS, etc., and save them as record sheets
As a portable tool for home rehabilitation: Quickly check age, walking speed, or exercise intensity from your smartphone
For physical fitness measurements in day care services: Measure CS-30 or one-leg standing, then print and share the results
For new staff training and verification: Review the flow of scoring while looking at cutoff values and assessment items
Recommended for the following people
Physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language-hearing therapists who search for cutoff values or standard values every time they perform assessments or calculations
Those who want to reduce the hassle of switching between paper assessment forms, calculators, stopwatches, and record sheets
Those looking for a clinical tool that can be quickly checked on a smartphone during home visits or outpatient care
Those who want to create everything from scoring to the final record sheet for assessments like the HDS-R or Barthel Index
Of course, final evaluations and policy decisions must be based on the professional judgment of a specialist. RehaCalc is not intended to replace clinical judgment itself, but should be used as an auxiliary tool to slightly reduce the burden of calculation, scoring, and recording.

Business Inquiries
We accept consultations regarding operational efficiency in medical, nursing care, retail, and administrative settings, as well as the development of web applications for use in the field. We can work with you to organize your processes, starting from the goal of 'making current paper or Excel-based operations a little easier.'
