to hold those staff that just don't want to do it, because they
just don't want to do it, accountable. I hate that I am having to take this
step and maybe can get away from it when it becomes more common practice again.
Thanks again for your input/thoughts..

every day that it is
gradually becoming less of an issuebut I agree with working with other
staff or an assistant if it is...just like I would tell a female staff member
to do with a male if that was uncomfortable for the patient...
Thanks again...

function is what it should be used for.

sitting will help
with balance and increase awareness...basic NDT techniques are a lot of
what I would be doing...especially to facilitate the trunk control,
weight shift, balance, etc that will allow for better function...
Hope that helps..
