Q

What does the 4 +1 Assessment look at to assess patients physical abilities

A
  1. Bridging: Does patient have hip extension and gluteal strength (eg. lying in bed = can they bridge; sitting in chair = can they lift pelvis off chair)

  3. Bed Edge Sitting: Does patient have trunk control (eg. Can patient sit at edge of bed without assistance)
  4. Upper Body Strength: Does patient have upper extremity strength and ROM (eg. assess patients upper extremity strength, grip strength, and ROM)
  5. Cognitive: Patients level of understanding (eg. do they understand what is being asked and can they follow instructions)
