The evaluation typically includes checking your strength, range of motion, reflexes, coordination, muscle tone, attention, cognition, sensation, balance as well as functional movements such as bed mobility, transfers between positions such as getting out of bed, sitting, standing, and how your balance and coordination and level of independence is with those. Then we will assess your gait or how you move around with and without assistive devices. After evaluation we will develop a plan of care and coordinate with your treatment team.

• Therapeutic Activities to improve your functional tasks such as independence with bed mobility, transfers to different positions or surfaces.
