When rehabilitating for function, the appropriate progression is to start with the task that is least physically demanding and use the task that:
When rehabilitating for function, the appropriate progression is to start with the task that is least physically demanding and use the task that:
- Utilizes the non-paretic extremities to ensure the task is accomplished
- Allows for the most error in movement
- Avoids variability until the first form of the task is mastered
- Demands the movement pattern you are training (correct)

Study Notes
Rehabilitation after Stroke
- When retraining gait after a stroke, the best choice of assistive device for an individual who continues to need a device during therapy sessions is not specified in the text, but it would depend on the individual's specific needs and abilities.
Progression in Rehabilitation
- When rehabilitating for function, the appropriate progression is to start with tasks that are least physically demanding and gradually progress to more demanding tasks.
Balance Rehabilitation
- A primary goal when working with a client post-stroke who has difficulty with balance is to improve balance and reduce the risk of falls.
Rolling from Supine to Side-Lying
- The most appropriate initial intervention for a client having difficulty rolling from supine to side-lying after a stroke is not specified in the text, but it may involve breaking down the movement into smaller components, using verbal cues, or providing manual assistance.
Exercises for Neurologic Deficits
- For a client with neurologic deficits who has impaired motor control and coordination, the most beneficial type of exercise would be one that promotes functional movements, balance, and coordination, such as functional exercises or activities that challenge balance and coordination.
