Balance, Gait, Flexibility, Muscle Strength

This is a particular concern for Mrs. Phillips. A physical therapist should take a very close look at her strength, range of motion, ambulation, and transfers. Her relative immobility in and of itself could lead to further functional decline. Both a home exercise program and specific instruction about improving mobility would be helpful.

The occupational therapist should evaluate mobility, range of motion, and balance in the context of her daily activities. Suggestions about improved strategies for dressing, cooking, bathing, and other activities might help Mrs. Phillips conserve energy and reduce chances for injury.
