Careplan Docs

Exercise Programs

❗
Note: To create a program for a client, you must first create a Careplan. All exercise programs are created within a careplan.

Program Setup

Click or drag the sidebar resources called Program to add one or more exercise programs. There are two types of exercise programs in careplan: Global and Phase-Specific programs.

Global Program

A global exercise program will be active and visible to the patient for the entire duration of the careplan. A purple alert banner is displayed in each phase to notify you that one or more global programs are active in that phase. Clicking this alert will auto-scroll you to the top of the page to edit the global program(s).

Phase-Specific Program

These exercise programs are only visible during the specific phase that they’re added within. For example, in the video below, the Phase-specific program is only visible during Phase 2 (from Jan 16-Jan 30). The patient will only see this program when Phase 2 is active.

Add exercises to your program

Use the search bar at the top to find an exercise. Exercises are filtered by keywords, so try not to add any filler words (i.e. with, and, etc)

How to search for exercises

You can search exercises by keyword. Keywords do not have to be in a specific order. (e.g. shoulder external rotation vs. external rotation shoulder will yield the same results)
You can further narrow down your search by adding:
  • Body area (e.g. shoulder, hip)
  • Equipment type (e.g. band, dumbbell)
  • Position (e.g. supine, quadruped)
  • Movement type (e.g. AROM, AAROM, eccentric)

If you can’t find a specific exercise, try searching by adding one keyword at a time.

Multi-exercise editor

Once exercises are added, you can select an individual exercises or click the Edit All button to bring up a multi-editor table. The top, shaded row in the table allows you to apply changes to all selected exercises.

To save time, once you input the frequency for your first exercise, it will automatically be duplicated for each additional exercise that you add to the program.

Selecting parameters

Type in, or use the up and down arrows in each box, to input the sets, reps, rest, and load for each exercise. For rest you can choose whether to display the time in minutes or seconds. For load, you can choose from Lbs, Kgs, or colour of band.

After clicking the + New Exercise button, you can add the necessary information including the exercise name, a link to the youtube video, keywords (such as alternate names for the same exercise so it will show up in search), patient instructions, and default parameters for sets x reps x load/time.

Custom exercises will show up in the careplan builder along with the preloaded system exercises by selecting the All tab. Alternatively, you can filter to show only your custom exercises by selecting the My Exercises button at the right hand side of the search bar.
