1. Take complete assessment
2. Care fully note her problems in ADL activities ( try to get the cause), and health condition.
3. (she might have developed abnormal patterns) avoid those by giving proper exercises , home advises (positioning in lying, sitting, standing etc.)
4.treatment for spasticity - positioning, passive movements,stretching, icing, brushing, stimulation.......
5. if she can able to do an activity actively and correctly echorage her to do that , or give resistence to that (make the movement complicate)
6.exercise for affected , non affected limbs and trunk.
(enchorage ADL activities)
7.balance
