In my previous role, I had a patient with limited mobility who needed a seated exercise routine. I modified traditional floor exercises by using resistance bands and seated yoga poses, ensuring they could participate safely and effectively. This adaptation not only improved their strength but also boosted their confidence and engagement in the program.

I prioritize patient safety by conducting thorough assessments before starting any activity. I also closely monitor their responses and adjust exercises as needed. Additionally, I maintain clear communication with the patient and their healthcare team to ensure all activities are within their capabilities and medical guidelines.

I use a combination of positive reinforcement, goal-setting, and personalized encouragement to motivate patients. For example, I highlight small achievements and involve them in setting realistic, achievable goals. This approach helps build their confidence and commitment to the rehabilitation process.

If a patient experiences discomfort or pain, I immediately stop the activity and assess the situation. I then consult with the healthcare team to determine the best course of action, which may include modifying the exercise or providing alternative activities that do not exacerbate their condition.

Effective communication is crucial for ensuring a coordinated approach to patient care. By sharing updates on patient progress, challenges, and adaptations to activities, I help create a cohesive treatment plan. This collaboration ensures that all healthcare professionals are aligned and can provide the best possible care for the patient.
