Via the administratiоn of the COPM, the client was noted to be actively engaged in social and volunteer activities, cooking, and knitting while living independently in her own home. Other evaluation tests revealed intact vision, cognition and sensation. Her right UE and LE were hypotonic and she was unable to ambulate or use her right arm functionally.
