Add a new outcome measure to your library
Are you looking for an outcome measure and can't find it on Physitrack? Or would you like to add your own outcome measure? At Physitrack you can. On this page you can read how to add an outcome meter step by step.
We regularly add outcome measures to the publicly accessible Physitrack library. However, sometimes the rights holder of an outcome measure decides that it cannot be visible on Physitrack. In that case, it is sometimes possible for healthcare practitioners to obtain an individual licence for the instrument and add it yourself. Read more about this on this page!
