Week 2

My theme for this week is physical activity/exercise. I have been focused on how to to integrate and increase the physical activity of residents, of course, to a tolerable extent. The first step was working together with our in-house physiotherapist to assess residents’ range of motion, determining whether special aids such as rollator is required and also taking notes of what they can and can’t do themselves. I developed interest in this subject area being part of the group that presented it during our seminar in class. At the beginning of the week, the residents were informed of planned activities and were eager to be part of it.

    Great that this week you focused in improving residents physical activity, that is crucial in maintaining their functional abilities. This is a great achievement that you have dedicated time and effort to work with the physiotherapist to encourage the clients to be more active. I am glad that you have been able to think about clients resources on what they are able to do by themselves. Continue with the good work.
