But in your case study you are switching back and forth from the component level to eventually the occupational level. Standing tolerance=component level (cardiovasular, quad strength, static standing balance). Ambulation=componet level (cardiovascular, quad strength both concentric and eccentric contractions, dynamic balance). All of this was leading to the individual's personal occupational goal. In my case study I was switching back and forth from the component level to eventually the occupational level. Estim to the digit extensors=component level (facilitation of the neural pathway to enhance neuroplasticity which in turn leads to digit extensor strength and control). All of this leading to the individual's personal occupational goal. Chris Nahrwold MS, OTR -- Options? www.otnow.com/mailman/options/otlist_otnow.com Archive? www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
