Classification of intensity of PT/OT interventions

Age Range	Very light	Light	Moderate	Intensive
0–5 years	• AROM/AAROM • Essential ADLs (in bed)     ∘ sitting edge of bed     ∘ self feeding     ∘ grooming     ∘ dressing • Bed mobility     ∘ Transfer supine to sit in/edge of bed     ∘ rolling • Therapeutic activity in bed • Seated fine motor play • Reaching activities seated	• Transfers/transitions     ∘ quadruped,     ∘ prone prop,     ∘ pull to stand etc • Limited ambulation (in room) • PROM • ADLs (standing edge of bed) • Static balance on even and stable surfaces (mat, floor) • Fine motor play in standing at stable support surface	• Dynamic balance/coordina tion on uneven or unstable surfaces (physioball, bosu ball, wedge, balance/foam disc) • Reaching outside base of support on uneven/unstable surface • Unlimited ambulation (out of room) • Endurance • OOB ADLs (in bathroom or away from sitting surface)	• Stretching/elongation • Climbing; negotiation over uneven surfaces (multiple changes in position) • Percussion • Vibration • Pulmonary toileting • Strengthening • Progressive resistive exercises • Jumping • Propelling on scooter
6–18	• AROM/AAROM • Essential ADLs (sitting edge of bed/in bed/chair)     ∘ grooming,     ∘ dressing,     ∘ bathing,     ∘ feeding, etc • Bed mobility (rolling, supine to sit edge of bed) • Therapeutic activity in bed	• Transfers • Limited ambulation (in room) • PROM • ADLs (standing edge of bed) • Static balance on even and stable surfaces (mat, floor)	• MMT • Dynamic balance/coordina tion (uneven surfaces) • Endurance • Unlimited ambulation (out of room) • OOB ADLs (in bathroom or away from sitting surface) • Restorator (NO resistance)	• Stretching/elongation • Strengthening • Progressive resistive exercises • Jumping, obstacle course, climbing • Restorator (WITH resistance) • Percussion • Vibration • Pulmonary toileting

Abbreviations: AROM - active range of motion; AAROM -active assisted range of motion; ADLs - activities of daily living; OOB -out of bed; MMT -manual muscle testing
