Using Your Patients Favorite Hobby and Showing Skill

USING YOUR PATIENTS FAVORITE HOBBY 

This patient is very hard to motivate to come to therapy, however, is a high fall risk so really needs to come.

In order to improve participation and motivation I incorporated his favorite hobby into our treatment sessions, golf.

Golf is such a great activity to work on balance with and he loved doing it.

Showing Skill

To show my skill with this activity I progressed it as appropriate with first starting on the even floor then to a foam pad and then to balance discs.

And remember performing the same activity every time with the same cues does not show skill and therefore is not reimbursable through Medicare. For a skilled documentation cheat sheet go HERE!
