From neuro assessment to approved record

Note Dr listens to the session as it happens. While you assess tone, watch the gait and reason aloud, it writes the record in the background, so your hands stay on the patient and your eyes stay off the keyboard.

Built for scrutiny

Defensible across
the whole episode

  • Clinical reasoning on record

    Your movement analysis and the rehabilitation rationale behind it, captured as you reason through tone, gait and balance aloud, not reconstructed later.

  • Consent for hands-on facilitation

    What you explained, the facilitation or handling you proposed and what the patient agreed to, recorded the moment you gain consent.

  • Goals and outcome measures captured

    The rehab goals you set and the validated measures you scored, such as the Berg Balance Scale, the very elements audits show go missing most.

As thorough as your rehab

A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, assessment, reasoning, goals, consent and outcome measures, where published audits show conventional physiotherapy records routinely fall short across a rehabilitation episode.

  • Attention on the patient
  • Time back in your day

Audits referenced: Turner et al (Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 1999), Sumner et al (Physiotherapy, 2000), O'Donovan et al (Physiotherapy Canada, 2017) and Paim et al (Disability and Rehabilitation, 2022).

    Ask Note Dr, Eleanor Brigstocke
    What goals did we set for Eleanor, and where is her Berg score now?
    NNote Drfrom this patient's record
    At the assessment on 10 June, you analysed left hemiparesis limiting gait and balance after a right MCA stroke. You set a goal of safe independent outdoor walking within twelve weeks, scored a baseline Berg Balance of 38/56, now 46/56 at the last review, and consent was recorded for hands-on facilitation.

    The standard,
    at every rehab stage

    When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance neurological physiotherapists work to, from the National Clinical Guideline for Stroke and NICE stroke rehabilitation advice to CSP outcome-measure guidance and falls-risk screening, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

    Why neurological physiotherapists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.

    ★★★★★

    My movement analysis is on record

    Rhiannon P, neurological physiotherapist

    I reason through tone, gait and balance out loud, but so much of it never reached the note. Now the analysis and why I chose task-specific training is right there. I edit and approve in under a minute.

    ★★★★★

    Outcome measures, never skipped

    Dev A, stroke rehabilitation physiotherapist

    Berg and the ten-metre walk test were the first things to slip when the ward got busy. Note Dr captures the score and the baseline every session, so progress across the whole episode is finally on record.

    ★★★★★

    The MDT reads one story

    Sinead C, community neuro-rehab physiotherapist

    On a shared neuro caseload, everyone needs the same picture. The goals, the measures and the plan now read consistently across the team, so handovers and case conferences are far easier to prepare for.

    ★★★★★

    Consent, on every hands-on note

    Tobias M, neurological physiotherapist

    Recording consent for facilitation and handling was the box I forgot when rushed. Now what I explained and what the patient agreed to is in every note, which is exactly where my biggest exposure sat.

    ★★★★★

    The long episode holds together

    Heledd G, clinical lead neuro-physiotherapist

    A twelve-week rehab episode used to mean scattered notes. Now goals, reasoning and outcome measures track from assessment to discharge, and our last CSP-standards audit was the calmest we have run.

    ★★★★★

    Across a long rehabilitation episode, assessments, reviews and discharge, every record now tracks the same goals, reasoning and outcome measures that used to vanish when the ward was busy. The Berg scores and the walk-test progress finally tell the whole rehab story.

    Neurological physiotherapist FAQs

    Can it capture a neuro assessment of tone, gait and balance?

    Yes. As you call out tone on the Modified Ashworth Scale, power, your gait analysis and balance findings, and reason toward a movement analysis aloud, Note Dr records your neurological assessment and the reasoning behind it. It is captured contemporaneously, not reconstructed from memory later. You review and approve before saving.

    Does Note Dr record neuro outcome measures and goal-setting?

    Yes. As you agree patient-centred rehab goals and score a validated measure such as the Berg Balance Scale or the ten-metre walk test, Note Dr records them in your structured note, ready to repeat at review. Spoken aloud mid-session rather than typed, an agreed goal and a scored measure are the details that fade once one long rehab episode blurs into the next.

    Does an AI scribe work when my patient has aphasia or dysarthria?

    Yes, because in neurological physiotherapy your own voice carries the record. You already narrate tone, gait and balance findings aloud and check back what the patient tells you, so the draft does not depend on the patient's speech being clear. Note Dr drafts the note from the session, and you review, correct and approve it before anything is saved.

    Can I use an AI scribe during hands-on neuro treatment?

    Yes, and hands-on treatment is exactly where an ambient scribe helps most. Facilitation and handling take both hands, so nothing can be typed mid-session. Note Dr listens as you treat and reason aloud, through gait re-education, balance work and hands-on facilitation, and drafts the record in the background. Your hands stay on the patient, and you review and approve the note when the session ends.

    Does it work for home visits and community neuro rehab?

    Yes, Note Dr documents home visits and community sessions just as it does clinic appointments. Transcription happens on your device while you assess and treat in the patient's home or care home, and the drafted note, goals, outcome measures and plan included, is ready to review, approve and paste into your service's record system between visits.

    Do I need my patient's consent to use an AI scribe after a stroke?

    Yes, you should ask before the session, as you would for any recording. Explain in plain, accessible language what Note Dr does, that it drafts the note and you approve it. If communication is affected by aphasia or cognitive changes, take the time the conversation needs, and note the agreement in the record. If the patient declines, you simply document as you did before.

    Does it support documentation across a multidisciplinary neuro-rehab team?

    Yes. Note Dr writes consistent, structured records you can share with the wider MDT, capturing goals, outcome measures and the agreed plan in the same format every session. That makes handovers, case conferences and joint goal-setting easier to prepare. Every note is reviewed and approved by you before it reaches the record.

    Records that track the whole rehab

    Complete, watertight records for every neuro session, from initial assessment to discharge, reviewed and approved by you. Goals, consent and outcome measures, tracked across the episode and finally handled.
