    "description": "A formal reassessment partway through a course of physical therapy, as opposed to a fresh initial evaluation. The therapist repeats the key measurements, compares them against the starting point, and revises the plan of care accordingly. It is meant for moments when something has actually changed — progress has stalled, the patient has worsened, or a new problem has surfaced — not as a routine note attached to every visit.",
