My skills
As a Physiotherapy student throughout first semester, I have begun to develop skills which will aid me in my future career in particular skills which will assist me to work in a hospital environment.
Mobility Exercises
This exercise was performed on Paul during which hip flexion, hip abduction and internal/external rotation was performed on a patient to ensure whilst unconscious they continued to get blood flow around the body and to mitigate the loss of mobility from lying down for an extended period
Rehabilitation-sit to stand
During this video I transferred Paul my patient who has been suffering from long covid into the bed via side lying with the elbow prop method. We then practiced sit to stand and to conclude we transferred Paul into a wheelchair so we his family visited he could go outside with them and enjoy the garden at the hospital.
Rehabilitation- walking aid use
During this video I taught the Stephanie how to utilise a Zimmer frame based on her non weight bearing status. I taught her how to perform sit to stand with a walking aid, how to walk backwards, how to walk forwards and how to turn.
