Each patient is evaluated thoroughly and a treatment plan is developed and communicated to the referring physician. The PT treatment will address deficits with Gait and Transfers, Flexibility and Strength, Posture and Safety, Stair negotiation and Endurance. The patient is instructed in a customized Home Exercise Program that is safe and helps to reach the goals more quickly. Each week the Home Program is reviewed and updated as is appropriate. Upon discharge, the patient is often advised that continuation of a Home Program is essential to maintain their level of function.
