   megan005 replied to RedHeaded2bNurse16's topic in Student Assist

   The only thing that I notice is that you mention that one of your goals is proper footwear and to assist with walking and later you state the pt uses a wheelchair. Maybe change walking to transferring? I also might expand on limited ROM, (is it in th...
