AB AntoineAntoine  was  admitted  into  acute  care  3  days  ago  with  a  right  middle  cerebral  artery  stroke.  During  the  first  48  hours  after  admission,  his  left  arm  and  left  leg  exhibited  decreased  muscle  tone,  but  since  then  Antoine’s  muscle  tone  in  the  left  arm  and  left  leg  has  increased.  The  overall  rehabilitation  prognosis  for  Antoine  is  good.What  needs  to  be  included  in  Antoine’s  intervention  to  maintain  or  improve  the  motions  of  all  extremities?Under  what  circumstances  would  these  interventions  change  from  being  considered  “skilled”  to  “nonskilled”?What  progression  of  mobility  would  be  appropriate?
