English term or phrase: calliper trail
• The physiotherapist recommended a review for a future admission for a three week calliper trail if Mr Lopes wanted to pursue this option. He was given the telephone number of the spinal outpatients at NSIC should he have questions regarding physiotherapeutic issues in the future

The patient had suffered a fall and had broken the T9 of his spinal cord. Once discharged from hospital he went for physiotherapy sessions and above was the physiotherapist recommendation. THis is to be translated into Brazilian Portuguese and although the question seems to be of a scientific field it is a document for insurance purpose.

Your answer pointed me on the right direction . In the end I found in a Medical Dictionary by Steman the translation as compasso de calibre, so use that. But thank you for your help. Kind regards, Priscila

Asker: Obrigada pela sua pesquisa, mas pelo contexto acho que a resposta do colega argentino se encaixa de forma mais adequada. Muito obrigada pela pesquisa. Tenha um bom dia, Priscila

Asker: Hello Marcos I am trying to award your answer as best answer, after I did a bit more research. However, after speaking to a ProZ member of staff it looks like you will have to submit the answer again, so that I can select yours. Sorry about that... Best wishes, Priscila
