| Patient can expend > 25% | Total Assistance or Dependent |
| requires assistive devices | Modified Independent |
| Bed mobility – what is the proper way for a client to transfer from supine to sitting edge of bed? | Have patient roll into a side-lying position 2. Bring patient’s feet pff the edge of the bed 3. Stabilize LE 4. Shift the patient’s body to an upright sitting position 5. Place patient’s hands on the bed at the sides of their body to maintain balance |

| transport elevating leg rest, high back,reclining high back,sports,CP reclining, stroller type ,low back standard,SCI- (low back, high back,self propel negative tilt) | Manual Wheelchairs |
| Power Wheelchairs | |
| worse turning radius, highest speeds 6 rmps, can tip backwards going up steep hill difficulty with electronics for higher level pts | Rearwheel wheelchairs |
| better on rough terrain fishtails at high speeds supports electronics for high level pts | Front wheel wheelchairs |
| tightest turning radius, slowest of power chairs, supports electronics for high level pts | Midwheel wheelchairs |

| joint motion and muscle shortens(with or without resistance)-uses muscle contraction against a specific amount of weight to move the load through a certain ROM weights, springs,slings, bands, sandbags, or special devices- ie. lifting a fork to mouth | Isotonic |
| no joint motion occurs, the muscle length remains same-the limb is set or held taut as agonist and antagonist muscles are contracted ata point in the ROM to stabilize the joint.- ie. holding a shopping bag around your forearm | Isometric |
| when muscles contract the tension in the muscle increases or remains constant as the muscle lengthens. ie. a controlled return of a pail of sand lifted from the ground | Eccentric |
