Reservation in the free movement of ends can be a difficulty, not only for the patient but also for the healthcare team. The main objective is to help the patient for exercise and to provide a safe environment and aids to illustrate the use of flow devices like pilgrim and crutches. To fulfill the purposes in accomplishing the purpose.

The nurse should primarily help the patient in operating the inactive and active ROM exercises and to support patient in using crutches or walkers and provide a safe habitat by progressing sidetracks in the bed. If the intercessions work the patient should reveal she is yet performing the actions of daily living in spite of her condition.
