Bed mobility & Transfer
This assessment was designed to test my risk assessment and management, my ability to successfully build a therapeutic alliance and my professional handling of a simulated patient to move them from lying down to sitting on the edge of the bed and transferring them into a wheelchair. The simulated patient I was assigned was named Michelle, who recently underwent surgery on her right femur and right forearm, the aim was to practice sit-to-stand exercises with her and to teach her how to get into a wheelchair
Teaching Walking Aids
The focus of this evaluation was to demonstrate my proficiency in instructing patients on mobility equipment, manual handling, and interpersonal rapport. In this simulation, I assisted Stephanie Lee, who was recovering from surgeries on her left hip and was non weight bearing. I guided her through the correct operation of a two-wheeled walker. The session involved teaching her how to use a two-wheeled walker and assisting her during her practice, ensuring she gained confidence and safety during her gait training.
Goniometry
The focus of this task was to assess my ability to accurately measure joint range of motion, handle patients, build rapport and prescribe an appropriate exercise program for rehabilitation. In this objective assessment simulation, I assisted Maya Rashida, who had reported pain in her right knee, with measuring knee extension and prescribing her exercises to take home.
Manual Muscle Testing
In this assessment, I demonstrated my proficiency in effectively asking questions to my patient, manual muscle testing and teaching crutches. In this simulation, I assisted Edie who had reported pain in her right knee with the notes that she was WBAT. I tested her quadriceps and taught her how to use elbow crutches going up and down a step.
