Scenario:
Home health patient with incomplete paraplegia from a spinal
surgery. Exact nature of damage is unknown as is the patient's
recovery potential. The patient wishes to carry out her daily
routine using a walker, as she did prior to her surgery.
The patient has strong UE, weakened trunk and limited use of
her bi-lateral LE's. Prior to her surgery, she ambulated with
a walker and was totally independent.
As her OT, what might be your treatment with this patient?
Thanks,
Ron
