Since the client did not meet the goal of walking unassisted without assistive devices by discharge from rehabilitation, it is considered a variance from the critical pathway. This means that the desired outcome was not achieved and requires further investigation to determine if any changes need to be made to the care plan or intervention implementation. It does not necessarily mean that the goal was unattainable, an error in care planning, or an error in intervention implementation, as there could be other factors that contributed to the lack of goal attainment.
