S.O.A.P. NOTES
• WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUBJECTIVE INFORMATION AND OBJECTIVE
INFORMATION?
• HOW IS EACH IMPORTANT IN DOCUMENTATION?
S.O.A.P. NOTES
• THE “SUBJECTIVE” PART OF THE SOAP NOTE:
• IS WHERE YOU WRITE WHAT YOUR CLIENT HAS TO SAY ABOUT HIS OR HER CURRENT CONDITION.
"I CAN NOW BEND MY BACK TO PUT ON MY SOCKS AND SHOES FOLLOWING MY TREATMENT
SESSION YESTERDAY."
IT IS BETTER IF THE PATIENT'S SUBJECTIVE STATEMENT IS MORE SPECIFIC.
• "THE PAIN ON MY BACK HAS MOVED DOWN TO 3/10 FROM THAT OF YESTERDAY BEFORE MY
TREATMENT."
S.
O.A.P. NOTES
• THE "OBJECTIVE" PART INCLUDES ALL THE MEASUREMENTS THAT YOU'VE OBTAINED FROM
YOUR CLIENT.
• THIS INCLUDE THE VITAL SIGNS, MANUAL MUSCLE TESTING MEASUREMENTS, JOINT RANGE OF
MOTION MEASUREMENTS, ETC.
THE SPECIFIC PHYSICAL THERAPY TREATMENTS ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THE OBJECTIVE PART.
THE TREATMENT SHOULD INCLUDE THE SPECIFIC WEIGHT, REPETITIONS, INTENSITY AND DURATION.
