The order for restoring confidence in mobility based on activity demands is:
bed mobility > mat transfer > wheelchair transfer > bed transfer > functional ambulation for ADL > toilet and tub transfer > car transfer > functional ambulation for community mobility > community mobility and driving
This is kind of what I expected. I think this hierarchy is in this particular sequence because it starts with where the client may spend most of their time. It then works toward getting the patient mobile and functional. The furthest level I have seen in my observation is toilet and tub transfer. I agree with this approach. I believe that it builds the client's endurance, strength, and confidence to complete activities. It builds up from the least energy required to the most. I believe it will help prevent injuries.
