An inpatient is in the recovery phase of Guillain-Barré syndrome. The patient is tolerating active-assistive ROM exercises. What additional interventions would be MOST BENEFICIAL for this patient during this phase of the disease process? Completing resistive exercises at a sub-maximal level to build strength Self-propelling a wheelchair up and down hallways to increase endurance Sensory re-education activities to improve protective sensation Using energy conservation techniques and assistive devices during BADL
