Color Step Tap

Amplify Steps for Ambulation and Functional Mobility

If you are working on increasing step length with your client, use a colorful visual target and instruct him/her to step forward onto colored squares. Client’s who shuffle or toe walk would benefit from this exercise.  Make sure to instruct your client to step completely onto color square, instead of a simple toe tap. This activity can be modified with or without upper extremity (UE) support.

To document skilled care:

• Keep track of color marker distance and increase distance as client progresses with activity
• Include tactile or physical cues
• Verbal cues for sequencing or technique
