An OTR is teaching a client who has flaccid hemiplegia to put on a button-down shirt while seated on the edge of the bed. The client is able to dress the unaffected arm first but requires physical assistance to maintain upright sitting when reaching behind the head to grasp the collar of the shirt with the unaffected hand. Based on an analysis of this activity, which option presents the most beneficial technique for the OTR to use during this component of the upper extremity dressing activity? (a)encourage lateral trunk flexion to shift the body’s center of gravity. (b)Provide a physical cue for trunk flexion to achieve a relaxed posture. (c)Facilitate trunk rotation with extension to increase postural control.
