Reaching from sitting post stroke.

Being able to reach forward in sitting is really important for many reasons, not least of all to help with comfortable positioning in the wheelchair and to provide the ability to re-position during the day to relieve pressure. Ken really struggles with reaching forward following his stroke due to weakness and chronic arthritic changes in his left hip which make it incredibly painful for him to come forward to 90 degrees at the hips. Here Lexie is trying to help Ken maintain his hip flexor and abdominal strength, hip range of motion and leg strength to enable a better sitting position in his wheelchair.
