Clinical Pathways: Disclaimer
Clinical pathways document potential steps in the diagnosis and treatment
of a condition or procedure for individual patients. These are predominantly
management tools and are based on clinical information developed in other
guidelines or parameters. They are specific to the institution using them.
The information provided on this listing represents a sample of clinical
pathways in use by physical medicine and rehabilitation professionals. The
listing is in no way comprehensive. Pathways may not be appropriate for use in
all circumstances, nor are they a substitute for the practitioner’s
experience and judgment. Their applicability must be assessed by the
responsible practitioner in light of relevant circumstances presented by
individual patients. Optimal treatment for every individual patient should be
specifically prescribed by the patient’s treating physician. The views
expressed in the clinical pathways listing are those of the authors and do not
necessarily reflect policies and/or official positions of the American Academy
