Your Clinical Responsibilities May Include

- Assessing and treating gait abnormalities, fall risks, and functional mobility limitations
- Implementing therapeutic exercises, neuromuscular re-education, and functional training
- Supporting residents recovering from surgery, illness, injury, or hospitalization
- Providing patient, family, and caregiver education on mobility, safety, and home exercise programs
- Collaborating with OT, SLP, nursing, and other members of the interdisciplinary team
