• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 6
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

Pt will be provided with a upper extremity exercise program that will be completed daily during their session with occupational therapy. During the session the Activity Measure-Post Acute Care and an activity tolerance chart will be completed. The data from the outcome measures will be used to determine if there is a benefit to completing a daily exercise program.

Conditions
