In light of this, the therapist must view each patient from a multifactorial approach, including such factors as the accessibility of the patient's environment, financial status, and the social support system, in addition to all of the classic objective measurements. All of these factors can have a profound impact on a patient's recovery and ultimate functional outcome. To achieve the most accurate whole picture of the patient's current functional status and potential for recovery, the therapist must be privy to as much information as possible regarding the total person in front of her.
