Today we have a simple but important abbreviation. And as a result a short post. This abbreviation is especially important when clients fall. We'll discuss falls briefly tomorrow, and give a brief overview of some of the reasons that people fall.
Todays abbreviation is
MAE
MAE stands for moves all extremities. Extremities are limbs. Being able to move all extremities after a fall is important.
Examples
Pt. able to MAE.
The reason that there are not two examples is that is usually the only way that this particular abbreviation is used. Sometimes it is used in physical therapy notes but usually in the same context. Tune in tomorrow for more on falls.
