Abstract
Mobility improvement for patients is one of the primary concerns of physiotherapy rehabilitation. Providing the physiotherapist and the patient with a quantified and objective measure of progress can be beneficial for monitoring the patient's performance. In this paper, two approaches are introduced for quantifying patient performance. Both approaches formulate a distance between patient data and the healthy population as the measure of performance. Distance measures are defined to capture the performance of one repetition of an exercise or multiple repetitions of the same exercise. To capture patient progress across multiple exercises, a quality measure and overall score are defined based on the distance measures and are used to quantify the overall performance for each session. The effectiveness of these measures in detecting patient progress is evaluated on rehabilitation data recorded from patients recovering from knee or hip replacement surgery. The results show that the proposed measures are able to capture the trend of patient improvement over the course of rehabilitation. The trend of improvement is not monotonic and differs between patients.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
