💡 Big idea: A rehabilitation plan translates patient goals into specific, staged interventions supported by assistive technology matched to functional deficits.
- 0-8Intro: elements of a staged rehabilitation plan
- 8-20Review patient goals from Tuesday; select two exercises and one device
- 20-50Build week-by-week plan card with goals and progress checkpoints
- 50-65Group peer review: identify safety risk and feasibility issue; revise
- 65-75Write device-choice justification for each selection
- 75-80Submit plan card and justification
- • Today you are the physical therapist. You have a patient, you have their goals, and you have to build a plan.
- • Your plan must include two exercises and one assistive device. Each choice must be justified by something specific in the patient record.
- • When your group reviews the plan, their job is to find one safety risk and one feasibility problem. Fix both before you submit.
- • A well-designed rehab plan demonstrates that you can evaluate body systems and connect anatomy to function. That is exactly what the WebXam tests.
- 1Review your patient's goals and physical limits from Tuesday.
- 2Select two exercises and one assistive device that fit the patient's needs.
- 3Build a week-by-week rehab plan card with goals and progress checkpoints.
- 4Have your group review the plan for safety and feasibility.
- 5Submit your rehabilitation plan with device choices justified.
- • You can design a staged rehab plan for a real patient case.
- • You can justify assistive-device choices against patient needs.
- • Assistive devices for musculoskeletal rehab include braces, splints, canes, walkers, and resistance bands; the choice depends on the affected joint and the stage of recovery.
- • A staged rehab plan sets short-term checkpoints (range of motion, pain scale, functional task) that allow clinicians to adjust the plan if recovery stalls.
- • Safety in rehab planning means avoiding exercises that stress structures not yet healed; feasibility means matching intensity to current patient capacity.

Day 3 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Complete the rehabilitation-plan design task in Lesson 1.3 Relief Within Reach on myPLTW; use it to verify your assistive-device choices match clinical guidance.
Mark the design task complete after submitting your drafted rehabilitation plan.
Empathy task is done; today the design task should show complete and your plan draft should be submitted.

Lab & supplies
- • All exercise recommendations must stay within the range of motion documented as safe in the patient record.
- • Do not recommend weight-bearing exercises for a patient record that specifies non-weight-bearing status.
- • Flag any exercise that crosses a recent surgical site for teacher review before finalizing the plan.
