BED MOBILITY TRAINING - (Rolling: ----- assistance, Supine <-> Sit: ----- assistance) Patient was instructed on proper rolling technique and required verbal ---- tactile cues to perform. Patient was coached through proper side lying to sit transfer, lead through proper sequencing of LE and UE utilization to assume the seated position. Patient made effort to follow commands, but further training is required.

In order to improve bed mobility and hygiene, patient was instructed through bridging and rolling to R and L exercises in supine for improved sequencing and tolerance to activities. Patient required min A and maximal verbal and tactile cueing for correct performance of tasks. Patient was coached through gait exercise x 100 feet using R/w to increase tolerance to activity for improved functional mobility. Patient required min A to come to standing and CGA during ambulation with assistance with guiding walker around curves. Patient's BP was 110/73 mmHg and HR was 56 bpm in sitting before ambulation. After ambulation exercise, patient's BP was 102/62 mmHg and HR was 62 bpm.

In order to increase participation in hygiene, grooming, dressing and feeding, patient was lead through the following functional activities: bridging, rolling to L/R, supine to/from sit, and sit-to-stands. Focus of treatment was to improve BLE strength, coordination, static/dynamic balance, and sequencing of activities. Patient required maximal verbal/tactile/visual facilitation for correct and safe performance of all exercises.

Pt was provided with seated exercise today at EOB sitting with emphasis to hamstring, quadriceps, and hip flexion strengthening necessary to improve dynamic stability for transfers and bed mobility tasks. Pt was provided with verbal and tactile cueing in order to improve participation with PNF techniques for stretches as well as to aid with isolation of muscle strengthening/stretches.

Pt was able to participate with bed mobility tasks requiring verbal and tactile coaching for effective sequencing using UE as pt tolerates and B LE constant repositioning for improved leverage and active participation with bed mobility. Supine to sit functional task at CGA was performed with pt requiring B shoulder support as well as cervical support to facilitate neuromuscular activation of core and upper abdominal musculature for effective trunk flexion. Pt was also able to tolerate rolling side <> side rolling and turning at CGA today with verbal cueing for effective usage of UE to aid with trunk movement. Note: segmental rolling for upper body vs lower body trunk was provided today prior to bed mobility to promote improved trunk flexibility and facilitate functional movement pattern.

Pt instructed in functional bed mobility and repositioning from supine to SL with PNF D1 flexion exercises to facilitate muscle synergies to roll to SL and minimize need for therapist assistance. Pt continues with max A and VCs to improve participation.

Pt progressed in functional bed mobility and transfer strategies to transition from supine to sitting EOB at MI with VCs to increase safety and promote proper body mechanics. Pt noted increase alertness this day however continues with intermittent hallucinations and drowsiness this day.
