“…The physical-therapy department also advocated range-of-motion exercises for Sunland's multiplihandicapped clients who were unable to participate in ambulation training. These exercises have been prescribed to induce the benefits of exercise and increased blood circulation, such as maintaining tissue, minimizing fatigue, providing greater movement of afflicted limbs, preventing anoxic pain, and reducing the accumulation of excess fluid or edema (Avignon and Avignon, 1952;Hines and Randall, 1950;Knott, 1952). Figure 2 also represents the implementation of this program as an interaction of staff and client, with each element defined as follows:…”

Confidence in the adequacy with which staff implement training programs requires an analysis of the impact on the client. In two experiments, measures, were devised to reflect this impact. In the first, a measure of the consistency with which clients participated in a toilet-training program revealed their participation to be erratic. Consistent participation occurred after a public display of the consistency of participation was introduced. In Experiment II, detailed measures were devised to reflect the client's performance during the implementation of two physical-therapy programs: range-of-motion and ambulation. Additionally, standardized measures of the benefits that accrued from their participation in these programs were devised. Improvements in both measures were slight and unstable during a condition of immediate feedback (supervisor praise) to staff but substantial improvements were obtained with the addition of a public display of the client's performance.
