weekly reflection: number2 wk1

1.
i ran an indivdual UL and LL x for an inpatient today, and as i had met her before and helped in her program i felt quite confident in running her treatment. i thought my treatment was fairly effective though i think in some of the exercises i probably could have progressed them further. i communicated well and she understood all the exercises i wanted her to.

2.
i think next time i will try and think of exercises that will be more progressive to further extend the patient in areas in which i think she can be extended. otherwise i think i conducted the treatment quite well and used good facilitation and communication to correct the patient;s technique when necessary.

3.
i felt fairly confident in this treatment, as mentioned before because i knew the client and what she was capable of.

4.
make sure the patient can hear me sufficiently as their were times in which i may not have done so. by making sure i face the patient talk clearly and make sure the patient understnads what i am saying i can allow for this in the future.

5.
being well prepared, forward thinking on the patient's capabilities and having a sound knowledge of the medical history/limitations i can improve my preformance in the future.

6.
i think overall today went well!

7.
if a pateint doesn't have callus formation after 6wks what is the protocal for intervention
