At our conference in May Dr Martin Lerner not only provided unique data in his impressive presentation but he also discussed his Energy Index Points Score Table which is an easy way for healthcare staff to monitor a patient's capability levels thus helping avoid over-exertion and monitoring of progress.

Dr Lerner's presentation can be seen on the conference DVD. Dr Lerner has given us permission to display this on the IiME web site - click here.
