Good job! Esther's current inability to care for herself and perform BADL places her in the physically dependent category. Movement that will help her to improve her physical function for basic self-care is important. Harry's current activity level is high, and he has been active for most of his life. To remain in the physically elite category, he needs to improve his strength and participate in activities other than running due to his arthritis. Mort is classified as physically frail because of his abilities to perform light housekeeping and cooking. But he needs exercise to help him improve his ability to perform BADL and IADL. Exercise programming should focus on muscular strength, endurance, flexibility, joint range of motion, balance, and coordination. Dotty is classified in the physically independent category. She is currently maintaining a lifestyle that requires few physical demands. Dotty needs exercise to help her maintain and improve her physical function, and to remain independent and prevent illness, disability, or injury that could lead to frailty. Now that you've identified appropriate function levels, you can begin to match your clients with activities well suited to their needs and capabilities. Click Next to begin this process.
