We can use the TIS to help track change of trunk movements and patient’s ability to move and control their trunk, and track effectiveness of our therapy! Equipment: Bench, access to the TIS article Time: ~ 5 minutes Instructions: Follow sheet instructions, it’s helpful to have the patient mirror you as these movements are not generally instinctive.
