• Balance Training

  Balance Training focuses on strengthening the muscles and improving the proprioceptive feedback necessary for maintaining equilibrium. Activities are tailored to challenge the vestibular, visual, and somatosensory systems, which are essential for balance.
  Therapeutic activities typically include:
  • Standing Exercises: Activities such as standing on one leg or using a balance board to improve static balance.
  • Dynamic Movements: Walking on uneven surfaces or performing heel-to-toe walking to enhance dynamic balance.
  • Functional Tasks: Incorporating balance challenges into daily activities, such as reaching or bending, to improve real-world application.

• Joint Guidelines For Therapy Co-Treatment Under Medicare 1
  www.aota.org

  Author: The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) - Co-treatment may be appropriate when practitioners from different professional disciplines can effectively address their treatment goals while the patient is engaged in a single therapy session. For example, a patient may address cognitive goals for sequencing as part of a speech-language pathology (SLP) treatment session while the physical therapist (PT) is training the patient to use a wheelchair. Or a patient may address ADL goals for increasing independence as part of an occupational therapy (OT) treatment session while the PT addresses balance retraining with the patient to increase independence with mobility. Co-treatment is appropriate when coordination between the two disciplines will benefit the patient, not simply for scheduling convenience. Documentation should clearly indicate the rationale for co-treatment and state the goals that will be addressed through this method of intervention. Co-treatment sessions should be documented as such by each practitioner, stating which goals were addressed and the progress made. Co-treatment should be limited to two disciplines providing interventions during one treatment session.
