💡 Big idea: A rehabilitation plan translates patient goals into specific, staged interventions supported by assistive technology matched to functional deficits.

  1. 0-8Intro: elements of a staged rehabilitation plan
  2. 8-20Review patient goals from Tuesday; select two exercises and one device
  3. 20-50Build week-by-week plan card with goals and progress checkpoints
  4. 50-65Group peer review: identify safety risk and feasibility issue; revise
  5. 65-75Write device-choice justification for each selection
  6. 75-80Submit plan card and justification
Mr. Mendoza's 5-minute intro
  • 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.
Do this, step by step
  1. 1Review your patient's goals and physical limits from Tuesday.
  2. 2Select two exercises and one assistive device that fit the patient's needs.
  3. 3Build a week-by-week rehab plan card with goals and progress checkpoints.
  4. 4Have your group review the plan for safety and feasibility.
  5. 5Submit your rehabilitation plan with device choices justified.
You'll be able to
  • You can design a staged rehab plan for a real patient case.
  • You can justify assistive-device choices against patient needs.
Know by the end
  • 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.

Safety / SOP
  • 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.

What to do if you were absent

Today was a project — do this instead

Using the linked assistive-devices resource, design a week-by-week rehab plan for the assigned patient with two exercises and one device, justify each choice, and submit the plan card.

MedlinePlus: Assistive devices

Then submit your Lab report on Schoology.

If MR. MENDOZA is absent
