Day 8

Worked on a patient (Mr D) who suffers from Parkinsons. Lately readmitted into hospital due to increased amount of falls to relook over his meds and has come back without much improvement. I thought it was best to assess and work on his balance. 
sitting balance was suprisingly good! For this session I worked on Mr D's balance reactions with him sitting on a wobble cushion and reaching OOBOS to touch my hand then place a mediball into a basket. We then preceeded to the vertical bars to do some functional reaching in standing where I called out numbers which we designated to a particular bar and he had to reach and touch it. We first did it with his left and touching the left numbers and right to right then progressed it to a crossover with his left hand touching the right numbers. 
Next session i think we need to work on sit to stand as this is when he usually falls and also progressing his balance exercises to the next level.
