Final answer:

The clinician needs to make several choices when using the GRoC (Global Rating of Change) scale, including determining the total distance traveled, displacement, and when to use each measurement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The clinician needs to make several choices when using the GRoC (Global Rating of Change) scale:

  1. Which measurement is considered the total distance traveled?
  2. Which measurement represents displacement?
  3. When should one measurement be used over the other?

In response to these questions, the choices include:

  • The total distance traveled is the overall magnitude of change, while displacement is the direction and magnitude of change.
  • The clinician needs to determine whether the overall distance traveled or the direction of change is more relevant to the specific case at hand.
  • One may choose to use the total distance traveled when evaluating progress, while displacement might be more important when considering direction and significance of change.
