Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Facilitation of functional reaching activities in sitting should be the next step as the patient has demonstrated success in reducing spasticity with rhythmic rotation. This will allow for further improvement of functional use of the affected upper extremity. The other options may also be applicable at some point in the rehab process, but are not the best immediate choice given the patient's current status.
