Week2 day2

Today I completed some components of a geriatric assessment form this included sitting balance (COVS), AROM, sternal push and 6m walk test and coordination. I was told to estimate AROM rather than use a goniometer, I think I would have been more comfortable measuring the joint angles, I did the 6m walk test well but could have done the sternal push test better as I did not use enough force due to the frailty of the patient, I will have to repeat the test at a later date to obtain meaningful results. I have obtained a booklet on outcome measures that I will have a look at. I have developed a problem list for this patient based on what I have learned from the geriatic assessment form and will develop a plan. The patient is due to be discharged next week and will come back for day therapy so I will need to be given an exercise sheet.
