Research indications, appropriate use, and/or outcomes of standardized balance assessments 19. Assess balance using standardized measures 20. Recognizes righting and equilibrium reactions 21. Educates patient/family on the correlation of balance test findings and the resultant risk of falls Lab Topic 3 – Spinal Cord Injury 22. Reflect on potential challenges and barriers to effective communication and treatment post-SCI 23. Apply interventions to improve functional activities and ADLs according to the established POC for a patient (adult/pediatric) with neurological deficits (SCI) 24. Use a mechanical lift to safely transfer a SCI-patient (simulation) from chair to/from bed/mat 25. Use a standing frame safely and effectively during a simulated treatment for a patient with SCI 26. Design a treatment progression to improve strength, motor control, and ADL function in a patient with SCI 27. Instruct a patient in techniques to relieve pressure during a case simulation 28.
