RUE was treated with joint mobilization, PROM, and weight bearing prior to functional tasks
to manage spasticity and improve range of motion. The client also participated in RUE
grasp and release preparatory activities prior to functional activities to reinforce motor
patterns. Task specific training completed with the client focused on the occupations of
bathing, meal preparation, feeding, and tying shoes, which reflect his identified priorities for
therapy. Education was provided in regards to energy conservation, incorporation of RUE in
functional tasks, and stabilization of RUE to improve fine motor accuracy. Theraputty and
finger extension exercises were provided for his home exercise program, as well as
additional shoulder ROM exercises. He was also provided with a shoe-tying aid for practice,
as his shoes do not currently have long enough laces for him to successfully practice with.
The COPM, Fugl-Meyer, and the ABILHAND Questionnaire were completed upon
initial evaluation and discharge.

A: The client demonstrated good progress and achieved all of his goals. D.M. has
demonstrated progress in active R digit extension and the incorporation of RUE during
functional activities at home and in the clinic. The pain and stiffness in his shoulder has
decreased, and overall RUE passive and active ROM has increased. Initially, the client
required min assist in meal preparation, bathing, and grooming, and max assist in tying his
shoes. D.M. is currently independent in dressing, meal preparation, bathing, and grooming.
His outcomes in therapy demonstrate improvement in occupational performance, role
competence, and well-being. The clients motivation and effort displayed during therapy will
be his greatest support in continuing to regain function.
P: It is recommended that the client continue RUE PROM, weight-bearing, and finger
strengthening exercises with Theraputty at home. He will benefit from continued
incorporation of RUE in functional activities, especially with tasks that require finger
extension. It is also recommended that the client integrate energy conservation techniques
into his daily routine. The client is encouraged to continue PT and speech therapies, as well
as his daily exercise routine at the gym. These supports will further assist him in recovering
as much function as possible following his stroke.
