I like the idea that was sugessted about the energy conservation/spine precautions. I often have them do a scavenger hunt for common items they may have to gather at home. I like this because they learn how to manage holding the reacher, the scavenger hunt list, a bag to carry the items they found, all while often managing the walker and keeping their mind on their precautions.
