2. Chebyshev's Theorem in Physiotherapy
Introduction to Chebyshev's
theorem
Application of the
theorem in physiotherapy
3. Example in
Physiotherapy
• Example scenario: measuring
muscle strength in a group of
200 patients
• Mean strength = 50 pounds,
standard deviation = 5 pounds
• Using Chebyshev's theorem: at
least 75% of patients have
muscle strength between 40 and
60 pounds
4. Conclusion
Chebyshev's theorem is a
useful tool for understanding
data distribution
Physiotherapists can use the
theorem to estimate patient
outcomes
Limitations of the theorem
