Bilateral upper and lower extremity range of motion exercises can be done while the person is seated. Attention is captured by the changes in the position of their extremities. They will probably learn to grasp the dowel stick and spontaneously follow the pattern of reaching to the chin and sky in a few sessions. Sessions with rest periods may be scheduled for 30 to 45 minutes twice a day.
Exercises can include the use of a theraband, with pushing and pulling against the resistance.
