Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The therapist is using a transfer test, which involves assessing the patient's ability to perform a specific transfer task in a different context or environment (in this case, from the wheelchair to the toilet). This type of assessment allows the therapist to evaluate the patient's generalization of motor skills and transfer of learning from one task to another.
