Rehabilitation program for a therapy session

It is important to identify the problems, and then plan and develop the rehabilitation program before undertaking a therapy session, because preparation for a therapy session requires forward thinking. Allied Health Professional (AHP) and an Allied Health Assistant (AHA) can confirm that they have everything ready before they start the therapy session. They confirm the resources and equipment required for each client.

Preparation for a therapy session include:

• Using a checklist to ensure all equipments are available,
• Checking equipment batteries are operational prior to meeting the client,
• Ensuring equipment is at the correct height for the client, and adjusting if necessary,
• Ensuring equipment is in working order, not frayed or damaged.

AHA can find out the relevant information from client care plan, supervisor, other health professionals, and documentation such as file notes, policies and procedures.
