In the dawning days of computer exercise software, the first programs allowed users only the ability to edit and print exercise text descriptions. PTs would then have to physically draw or affix a photocopy or sticker of the exercise to the page. Needless to say, the results were often time consuming and unclear, and left plenty of room for improvement.
The advent of graphic printers and computers with built-in DVD burners, however, has changed everything. Certain programs will work better for some practices than others and, fortunately, there is no shortage of options out there for PTs to try.
