Judge Thokozile Masipa is expected to hand down a specific order including details of whether or not the athlete would be an out-patient, where he would be admitted and the number of psychologists and psychiatrists that would be treating him.
Last Wednesday, Masipa granted the State's application that he be sent for mental observation after the court heard he had a general anxiety disorder.
Pistorius is accused of intentionally shooting dead Reeva Steenkamp on 14 February last year.
