Material Detail

The "Keep Your Move in the Tube" (MIT) protocol is a movement strategy that encourages patients to move within an imaginary tube while performing activities of daily living (ADLs) and mobility. This protocol keeps the patient's arms closer to their body, shortens the lever arm, and minimizes torque on the sternum. During this lab activity, we encourage our PT learners to think creatively and develop ways to minimize post-operative complications following thoracic surgery, while anticipating potential patient limitations and common post-operative protocols.
