PY - 2016 T2 - Improving Functional Outcomes in Physical Rehabilitation, 2e AB - This chapter focuses on sitting control and interventions that can be used to improve sitting and sitting balance skills. Careful examination of the patient's overall status in terms of impairments and activity limitations that limit sitting control is necessary. This includes examination of musculoskeletal alignment, range of motion (ROM), and muscle performance (strength, power, and endurance). Examination of motor function (motor control and motor learning) focuses on determining weightbearing status, postural control, and neuromuscular synergies required for static and dynamic control. It also examines use of sensory (somatosensory, visual, and vestibular) cues for sitting balance control and central nervous system (CNS) sensory integration mechanisms. Finally, the patient must be able to safely perform functional movements (activities of daily living [ADL]) in sitting and in varying environments (clinic, home, work [job/school/play], and community).
