Shawn,
I understood that any resistance, e.g. sanding, sawing, hammering nails, etc would increase tone not decrease it and that it would be better to use tasks that required minimal resistance through the client's current ROM.

Hi Jane, within the NHS there is a big drive to rapidly discharge patients.
That means that the amount of time that OTs within the hospital setting have to

have invested the effort in ensuring that the public know what they do and the
