Lacking reciprocal arm swing w/straight cane amb? Try bilateral canes or Loftstrands to cue full trunk rotation & use of opp. arm. #PT676

[Eileen Kirk @EKirk_DPT]

PTs can't write Rx, but can research current vs allowed med dose in pt w/medical mgmt of behav. health. Discuss behav. changes w/MD. #PT676
