DYNAMIC AMBULATION TASK

Upgrading Ambulation

Instead of simply ambulating with this client, we wanted to add another component. In order to upgrade the activity, we placed her in the parallel bars and instructed her to walk forward while pushing the therapy ball.

• We put a mirror in front of her for visual cues.
• We dual tasked with ambulation and pushing the ball.
• We provided verbal cues for forward progression while pushing the ball.
• Tactile cues were provided for weight shifting and to increase step length.
• Tactile and verbal cues were used for correct posture.

So what do you think??? Are you going to try this activity??

And by the way this client will be 100 in 11 days!!!
