Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A compensatory approach would be most beneficial for this client as it focuses on adapting or modifying the environment, task, or technique to work around the weakness caused by the condition. This can include using assistive devices or adapting the way ADLs are performed to make them easier for the client. Rehabilitative and biomechanical approaches may be helpful for improving strength and range of motion but may not directly address the client's difficulty with ADLs. Model systems are not related to this client's specific condition.
