Mobility Training
The therapy staff at BAPTIST HEALTH
Rehabilitation Institute will provide mobility training
in:
WALKING - Includes the use of various types of canes, walkers,
splints and braces as necessary. Walking is practiced on various
types of floor surfaces, ramps, stairs, and other situations which
are relevant to that person's home and community setting. We also
teach patients to observe weight bearing and movement precautions
when appropriate.
TRANSFERS - Getting from the wheelchair to the car, bed, furniture,
toilet, tub, etc.
WHEELCHAIR MOBILITY - Includes mobility training in standard wheelchairs
or power drive chairs.
WHEELCHAIR POSITIONING - For patients who will need to remain confined
to a wheelchair for some period of time. The Physical Therapist
will assist in arranging for any necessary mobility devices (walker,
tub bench, etc.) prior to discharge.
