@Lundermyskin Hey! I'd love to know more about what you do! I wish to incorporate music as much as possible into my care as a PT! Thanks!

#uwmola2014 found helping others with assessments very beneficial in noticing differences in gait/exertion levels between participants

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

#uwmola2014 had someone nearly run during the timed up and go test despite directions. Maybe best to stress walking in active participants

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

#uwmola2014 loved that my participant had fun today! However, hard to keep things on track. Engaging yet reminding him of the task helped

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

#uwmola2014 had a startling moment at mcts. Always be up to date with certifications! If a pt has a coughing attack I am prepared now!

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

Was stunned how much HR can increase for some participants from their normal value just from being a bit more active in the am! #uwmola2014

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

When unsure whether to use a gait belt, lean towards yes. I'm happy I did at mcts today after hearing about participant history#uwmola2014

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

#uwmola2014 when participants are unable to perform tasks it is beneficial to ask about the impairment Hx to help interpret screen results!

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

A little hectic at mcts today but learned that flexibility and remembering the ultimate goal make things less stressful! #uwmola2014

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

#uwmola2014 learned that the flow of an interview is important to clients! Stopping to overly introduce each new section is not always best

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

#uwmola2014 found that having a plan before interacting with a participant really helps things run smoothly! And mirroring is so helpful!

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

#uwmola2014had to find a way to smoothly interact with the participant that sat next to me and still observe my partner work at ola today!

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

#uwmola2014 need to start rehearsing a proper introduction to put the participant at ease before next ola! Had some awkwardness this week.

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

#uwmola2014 felt great to practice goniometry measurements and palpitations at ola today! Need to work on fluidity between measurements

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

Feeling like I got blood pressure down! Good day! #uwmola2014

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

When you attempt to find the first rib and the patient doesn't hate you after… that's one successful day #uwmola2014

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

Having to take blood pressure over a shirt is not as hard to hear as I thought it would be! Yah! #uwmola2014

[Mary Ryan @marykryan17]

1 successful blood pressure reading down! 100,000 to go! #uwmola2014
