Consideration should be given to individual factors to determine goals and techniques taught for retraining of functional skills. This may include but is not limited to, level of spinal cord injury, degree of neurological impairment, age, comorbidities, or other injuries. Frequent reassessment is required to determine if the goal is to teach compensation strategies versus normal movement patterns.
