Tom is a 65-year-old retired teacher who now likes to play golf every day. He recently had a right total knee arthroplasty and has been coming to outpatient physical therapy for several weeks now. His POC consists of gait and transfer training, balance training, manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, modalities as needed and instruction in a HEP.
