Individualize instructions and prompts to patient’s cognitive status to promote effective communication simplify verbal directions, give encouragement and provide demonstrated cues as needed.Provide frequent encouragement, along with prompting and assistance as needed.Pace activity allow adequate time and rest periods to conserve energy.Schedule mobility activities when pain and fatigue are at a minimum to encourage optimal performance.Encourage early mobilization and performance of daily activities, if able, while providing level of assistance needed for safety.Consider any contraindications or precautions to individualize treatment plan (e.g., joint or ligament instability, weightbearing restrictions).Instruct in transfer and mobility techniques supporting highest level of independence while ensuring safety.Assess mobility skills (e.g., bed, transfers, ambulation, gait, stair climbing, wheelchair) and factors influencing mobility, such as balance, safety, range of motion, strength, muscle tone, cognition and sensory processing.
