A patient demonstrates improvements in transitioning from sit-to-stand.The physical therapist wants to progress the plan of care to locomotion training.Which of the following is considered a controlled mobility activity and should be worked on FIRST?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the patient has demonstrated improvements in sit-to-stand, the next step towards locomotion training is to work on controlled mobility activities. Controlled mobility activities include weight shifts and weight acceptance in different planes of movement. Option B, which involves practicing lateral weight shifts and weight acceptance, is a suitable candidate for the initial controlled mobility activity as it allows the patient to work on shifting their weight in different directions while maintaining stability in a standing position. Options A, C, and D involve more dynamic movements and should be incorporated later in the treatment plan as the patient progresses in their mobility training.
