What usually happens first
The first visit usually begins with a conversation about the patient's main concern, when symptoms started, and what activities feel difficult right now.
Because the session happens at home, the assessment can also include practical questions about stairs, seating, transfers, sleep, and the daily routine.
Movement and function review
A home assessment often looks at how the patient stands, walks, gets up from a chair, or performs simple movements related to the complaint.
This helps shape a plan that is realistic for the patient's environment instead of relying on generic exercises.
